Bump! Nice recall!
(Uh, don't think so, Dubya.)
Agreed. No one however has aggressively disabused him of his self-appointed license to "lie, cheat, and steal" electoral mandates however... and laws are apparently, as with the Xlintons...meant to be broken.
What remains to be done is what Jim McDougal, before he died, said about the Clintons. The question is whether we can expose these people faster than they can lie about it.
Sigh. Sandy Hamburglar walking around scot-free...evinces this extremely clearly. FOX News Special (in a really pleasant change this weekend) actually pointed the finger of complicity in his kid-glove treatment squarely at the current occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
And of a piece with this was the whole ABLE DANGER cover up...all to protect the Xlintons again!
Someone needs to get Donald Rumsfeld to talk...really talk...and on the record about the coverup he was ordered to perform by the White House...
I no longer believe this was all done by Xlintonista moles who were under the radar of an inattentive and negligent GOP Administration. Or at least it wasn't done exclusively by them. I don't think Rumsfeld was inattentive. They may have been left as an ultimate scape-goat if necessary ...but it wasn't under the radar.
Every politician's wet dream, is it not? How to get rid of those pesky voters "who think we work for them". They fantasize about having the freedom to operate under the radar, completely insulated from observation and accountability. Damn few of that Gang of 535 is doing the job we hired them to do. At least 300-350 of them deserve to be dragged out of their offices into the streets and horsewhipped by the voters.
Americans should be loyal to principles, not party. A party can be corrupted.
Courtesy of an "open-borders" thread right here on FR, on which someone produced the post-primary statement verbatim.
No one however has aggressively disabused him of his self-appointed license to "lie, cheat, and steal" electoral mandates however.....
That kind of claim of an "implicit mandate" and "well, everybody has always known that I supported....." claim of mandate after-the-fact is as old as lying, but our problem right now is the inability of the politically literate public to nail the wriggling jello to the wall, it seems.
Only occasionally does a candidate get steered, anymore, into shallow waters on issues he doesn't want to discuss. The art of "staying on message" is what the public has to learn how to break. I think it will require wresting format control away from campaign organizations and empowering the issue-literate literally to badger candidates so that their evasions become transparent, engendering reflective thought among the electorate. The press used to perform this function, but nowadays they are a miserable, forsworn lot, loaded down with their own agitprop agenda.
First, we have to purge the J-schools......start where the Communists started back in the 1920's and give all those institutions they infested a good old-fashioned chicken-coop cleaning with shovels and blowtorches.
Isn't he a neocon? Their intellectual paternity, it has been pointed out, is the old Trotskyite movement. Internationalist, globalist, antinationalist, anticapitalist, "social progressive".... but with a defense policy, and a yen to use U.S. power to project the globalist dream.
Very closely subparallel to the big-government Republican/Hamiltonian dream. Lincoln always thought the really bad thing about slavery was that it gave the American moral exemplar a black eye. It scandalized our national(ist) propaganda. It would be an interesting ticket, to listen to Harry Jaffa and, say, Calvin Trillin discuss whether Abraham Lincoln would have gazed with favor on the idea of exporting U.S. trade and politics on the deck of a gunboat to the benighted realms of the Old World. Which is what the Clintonistas like Maddy Albright and the neocons like Dick Cheney (although I think he's a National Greatness Republican, come to think of it) and Paul Wolfowitz have essentially been trying to do.
2. Write authors, analysts, think tanks, etc that are Nationalist minded... and urge them to report about the issue.
Only academics read such journals. The average American reads the sports page or the latest offerings from Oprah's Book Club, if they read anything at all.
3. Call local, regional, and national talk radio.
Talk radio is a way for broadcast license holders to fill airtime cheaply. Such programming may entertain, but does nothing to create political change.
4. Write and call your senators and reps.
A pointless waste of time, as they are almost all bought and paid for by the same interests that want to see a unified North America.
The pending legislation to stop the NAFTA Superhighway/Trans-Texas Corridor will fail. The state's highway system is already obsolete ind in dire need of augmentation, and Austin knows it. Some form of TTC will be built. As for the 13 state legislatures that are proposing legislation against a SPP/NAU, they are subject to the interstate commerce laws of the federal government, which supersede state laws. Any attempt by a state or group of states to legislate themselves out of the program will be ruled unconstitutional by the federal courts.
Sorry, but it's too late to stop this. The integration of nations into a New World Order is the inevitable end result of the past five hundred years of the West's post-Christian social experiment. Later, when the whole house of cards comes down, will be the opportunity for a true conservative movement to arise. For now, however, we should concentrate on surviving and preserving traditional faith, knowledge and culture.
100% correct.
That's where Clinton went with his Chinese reptile money in 1995, to test-market his 1996 campaign pitche(s) in the "C" and "D" markets like Jackson, Miss., and Laurel and so on. I seem to recall he did that in 1992 to an extent, and he did it again in 1998, when he and Kweisi Mfume ran a stealthy get-out-the-vote campaign in the black community to try to get the House of Representatives back from the GOP. It almost worked. If they'd pulled it off (which would have allowed them to stuff the impeachment articles back down the House Republicans' throats on the very first day Congress came back into session in 1999), it would have been one of the biggest political coups in U.S. history.
I disagree, and so would Rush Limbaugh -- and his detractors.
Lucidity bump. Need to teach this in first grade.
And not just about this. Chinagate, which is a huge coverup.
And moving from the transcendent to the banal, they also covered up and hushed up Hillary's stealing everything that wasn't nailed down, and the petty-spiteful vandalism in the White House basement offices as the Clinton accessories and enablers cleared out.
I myself, if I'd been in W's shoes, would have refused to occupy the White House until the carpets and draperies had been stripped and burned at the Pennsylvania Avenue curb, the Clinton china broken on the sidewalks, and the Kennedy desk piled atop the pyre of burning carpets and likewise consigned to the flames; and I'd have waited for the White House itself ritually purified by Buddhist, Shintoist, Orthodox, and Catholic priests before entering it.
I'd have burned Clinton's portrait, too. New American tradition -- get impeached, watch your official portrait get publicly burned by your successor on the public curbstone.
I no longer believe this was all done by Xlintonista moles who were under the radar of an inattentive and negligent GOP Administration.
We keep hearing whispers, intimations, and accusations of a nonpartisan, general corruption in the upper reaches of Washington society. Everything from procuring children to massive drug-smuggling and other forms of moral and legal depravity and depredation. Sibel Edmonds is supposed to be one of the people who have stumbled into solid evidence that these things are going on. Certainly Barney Frank's boyfriend was running rent-boys out of Frank's apartment. (Oh, but we're supposed to be "cool in school" for that and not narrow-minded little bigots!) The evidence is being suppressed, "they" say. How would I know, if the suppression is successful? And am I paranoid and delusional until the moment it's proven true?
I thought there was something to that at the time.
BTTT!
Elite power, elite control, public perceived security, collective loss of liberty aligned with perceived 'victim hood', total acceptance of lack of self responsibility, the elites dreams of government modern day slavery to fuel the self-consuming machine called government?
Did I miss anything?
Bump. Agreed. Wolfowitz, and the whole crowd at Goldman Sachs are on board with that.
...discuss whether Abraham Lincoln would have gazed with favor on the idea of exporting U.S. trade and politics on the deck of a gunboat to the benighted realms of the Old World.
No way of knowing. He seemed to be pretty dedicated during his times, of course, to keeping Old World manipulative influence out of the New.
As for trade, he was a dedicated mercantilist, U.S.-First-industrialist. [ Some in he Von Mises crowd go so far as to allude to this as an alternate explanation for the Civil War. ]
Ironic, eh? By so caving in preemptively...with an inanely naive-appearing "New Tone"...he established a LACK of mano... Anyways, as we all know, his big-spending non-defense agenda, such as it was, should have been promptly flushed down the toilet.
By prosecuting the SOBs he could have created real mano and not just an illusion. He would have stood up for our laws, hence our Constitution and thus, the recognition that the powers our government wields in fact comes from the people, their consent thereto. So long as laws are so brazenly flouted, they are more or less saying that the People are irrelevant...and their consent is no longer required.
Those would have been seen as "JOB #1" And all the political chest-thumping about trojan horse big-spending compassionate governance "accomplishments" would have been totally unnecessary to re-election.
Instead he has established a reputation of non-mano, and leaves the clear impression of impropriety...if not outright corruption...and collaboration... which the Congress could not...and would not... call him on even catching Berger red-handed., and the DOJ rolling over for Berger.
Thanks for posting this, good article.
Let’s change the names to the Communists and the Dictators.
Yes, but it’s important to have a choice.
