Reflections From a Murky Pond

Immigration is going to be a big part of the 2014 elections and US politics in general in the coming months. While have my own ideas about immigration reform, it’s also a good idea to think a bit about the phenomena known as “Anchor Babies,” i.e., children born to illegal immigrants within America’s borders.

Yep. I can see some truly fine benefits to spicing up the populace with some fine, sexy Latinas. ¿Por qué? ¡Porque son increíblemente sensuales y eróticos!

Hehe. And it’s not like I’m alone in this thought. 1 in 10 marriages in the US are interracial and 43% of those are with Hispanics. Indeed, a full 25% of the Hispanic population within America’s borders are marrying non-Hispanics and, as Hispanics have the highest per capita birthrate, there’s going to be a lot babies being made.

OK. You got friends and, having them, you like to go drinking with them. After all drinking buddies are a good thing. They make the evening’s bacchanalia a lot more convivial. And you can normally count of them to have some idead of what to do aside from just drinking…
 

 
You should, however, probably remember that just because your drinking buddies have given you advice doesn’t mean you have to take it.

Then again, in this age of smartphones and YouTube, talking the advice of your drinking buddies might be your ticket to fame. 😛

To paraphrase Frank Herbert’s character Gurney Halleck, mood is a thing for cattle and loveplay, not defining a national character or what is right and wrong. In point of fact, if one is an a relationship, I’m not even sure if mood is always a thing for loveplay either.

And yet, as Ravi Zacharias pointed out in Jesus Among Other Gods, there is a certain mood promulgated by the Liberal and Progressives within America that seeks to do exactly that.

Not all moods were created equal and some are, or should be, less tolerable than others.

The difficulty has not been in knowing what to say, but in knowing what not to say. We are living in a time when sensitivities are at the surface, often vented with cutting words. Philosophically, you can believe anything, so long as you don’t claim it to be true. Morally you can practice anything so long as you do not claim it is a better way, Religiously you can hold to anything, so long as you do not bring Jesus Christ into it. If an idea is eastern it is granted critical immunity; if it is western it is thoroughly criticized. Thus a journalist can walk into a church and mock its carryings on, but he or she dare not do the same if the ceremony is from the eastern fold. Such is the mood at the end of the twentieth century.

A mood can be a dangerous sate of mind, because it can crush reason under the weight of feeling. But that is precisely what I feel postmodernism represents – a mood

Zacharias definitely has the right of it. The Liberals and Progressives are very much not in the mood to hear or hear about Christian religious speech, except within carefully circumscribe locales. Conversely, they’re quite in the mood to both hear and defend almost any form of Eastern religious speech in almost any venue, especially Islamic speech.

It is to the point where these domestic enemies will cry in outrage over a Christian saying homosexuality is a sin yet remain silent upon or even support a Muslim who says that the Qur’an and the Hadith state that homosexuals should be killed.

So far, me and mine are outside of this issue. We’re Pagans and, while Western, the Liberals and Progressives by and large don’t yet think of Paganism as a religion so we can express any religious view we want whenever and wherever we want without repercussion…as long as it doesn’t agree with the Judeo-Christian norm.

It sort of make me pity the Christians. America was and still is a Christian nation, culturally if not legalistically, and they’re the normative majority. Yet they, and only they, are the ones attacked for any display of their faith or attempted exercise of morality.

Some truths are self-evident and absolute. They do not change just because ages have past and technology advanced.

One of those things is how any nation – any People – survive the assault of their enemies both foreign and domestic.

March of Cambreadth

Axes flash, broadswords swing,
Shining armor’s piercing ring!
Horses run with a polished shield,
Fight those bastards till they yield!
Midnight mare and blood-red roan,
Fight to keep this land your own!
Sound the horn and call the cry:
“How many of them can we make die!”
Follow orders as you’re told,
Make their yellow blood run cold!
Fight until you die or drop,
A force like ours is hard to stop!
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till you’re no longer sane!
Let not one damned cur pass by,
“How many of them can we make die!”

Guard your women and children well,
Send these bastards back to hell!
We’ll teach them the ways of war,
They won’t come here anymore!
Use your shield and use your head,
Fight till everyone is dead!
Raise the flag up to the sky,
“How many of them can we make die!”

Dawn has broke, the time has come,
Move your feet to the marching drum!
We’ll win the war and pay the toll,
We’ll fight as one in heart and soul!
Midnight mare and blood-red roan,
Fight to keep this land your own!
Sound the horn and call the cry:
“How many of them can we make die!”

Axes flash, broadswords swing,
Shining armor’s piercing ring!
Horses run with a polished shield,
Fight those bastards till they yield!
Midnight mare and blood-red roan,
Fight to keep this land your own!
Sound the horn and call the cry:
“How many of them can we make die!”

If one cannot feel this perhaps the setting is too archaic for you. I’d suggest instead to Lock and Load!

As every knows and is outraged by, Obama is incapable of speaking the truth. Lies are all the worthless, little boy vainly demanding that he is a man knows. It’s likely that even the Liberals know this, though they’ll continue to support Obama because it both serves their ends and he identifies as a Black.

To-date most of us were that this piece of shit’s biggest lie was, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” It’s certainly been the lie most predicted to haunt Obama and the Democrats.

Obama’s 8000lb Lie

Oddly, it has come to light that, as huge and pernicious as Obama’s lie was and is, it might well not be the the biggest, most malicious, or most egregious one that this narcissistic grifter and his followers jabbered. That infamy may well be reserved for a lie that was spoken much more softly and less overtly…That anyone had to, under penalty of law, participate in ObamaCare in the first place.

It seems that Title 42, Chapter 157 of the US Code aka the Affordable Care Act (ACA) aka ObamaCare specific includes within itself the restriction that no individual or organization has to participate in it and that the government cannot levy any penalty or fine for their refusing to do so.

US Code – Title 42, Chapter 157, Subchapter VI, § 18115

Freedom not to participate in Federal health insurance programs

No individual, company, business, nonprofit entity, or health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall be required to participate in any Federal health insurance program created under this Act (or any amendments made by this Act), or in any Federal health insurance program expanded by this Act (or any such amendments), and there shall be no penalty or fine imposed upon any such issuer for choosing not to participate in such programs.

This Act, referred to in text, is Pub. L. 111–148, Mar. 23, 2010, 124 Stat. 119, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

That’s right! It truly seems that participation in Obama’s signature and singular “achievement” is completely voluntary and that the Obama Regime’s preferred enforcers, the IRS can’t legally do anything at all to anyone who chooses not to do so.

Be forewarned; no federal agency reporting to the Obama Regime, especially the IRS, can be reasonably expected to limit its behavior to only what is allowed by law.

Given that Obama is a truly consummate liar, it’s even somewhat believable that the boy’s “big lie” was always intended as a distraction for the truly big lie.

Obama – America’s Liar-in-Chief

To be fair though, Obama and all the other domestic enemies of America have a well-establish affirmative defense against any claims that they lied about the legal requirement to participate in ObamaCare – They never read the law. Then, hasn’t this been Obama’s primary defense against any claims of his perfidy? Apparently, if you’re the First Black President or a follower of his, ignorance of the law is a defense.

Also to be fair, if this goes to court, and I hope and pray it does, there’s going to a strong legalistic if not legal argument from Obama’s tax-payer funded legal team that the fines and/or penalties demanded by the Obama Regime for failing to participate in and therefor support ObamaCare are a tax, not a penalty or fine.

In any case, only a preeminent Liar-in-Chief could tell a lie so big and so boldly that it hid an even bigger lie that was merely whispered as it were. That’s Obama for you.
