Trumping Violence

Posted in 2016 Election, Politics on May 22nd, 2016

It’s almost funny how the Lamestream Media keeps retelling the same Leftist shibboleth that Trump supporters are violent. They even blame Trump for the violence those supporters are victims of.

It's not Trump's supporters who are violent
Trump Supporter Are Violent!

The simple truth of the matter is that the vast majority of violence during the 2016 primaries has been perpetrated by followers of Bernie Sanders. Bernie has even supported the violence of these worthless and shiftless #BernOuts and #Sandernistas.

But then, that the way of things in these latter days. There’s a double standard firmly in place, with the MSM and certain elements within our borders holding Americans to a vastly different standard then what they hold themselves and their fellow travelers to.

The Inconceivable Election

It's Inconceivable!
Trump Vs. Hillary? Inconceivable!

Fortunately, I have developed an tolerance, if not actually immunity, to pompous asses. Hence, I don’t suffer from the same issue or quandary as our most lampooned Sicilian does. 😉

That being the case, unlike the traitors of the #NeverTrump mobs, I will form up and toe the line by voting for Mr. in the general election. Unlike them, I know that a vote not cast for Trump is essentially a vote for Hillary, much as Obama won the election partially because Americans chose not to vote for McCain and stayed home on election day whereas our domestic enemies gathered at the polls.

Still, the simple fact that we’re going to have a presidential election between Trump and Hillary was, until now, inconceivable.

A Democrat Once Said…

Posted in Politics, Religion on May 10th, 2016

I know it’s hard to believe, but a Democrat – a quite progressive one for the time – once said this:

At the heart of that Western freedom and democracy is the belief that the individual man, the child of God, is the touchstone of value, and all society, groups, the state, exist for his benefit. Therefore the enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and the abiding practice of any Western society.

— Robert F. Kennedy

Yes, Robert Kennedy said this during his 1966 address to the students and faculty of he University of Capetown, South Africa. Of course, this was just a few weeks shy of 50 years ago and in the intervening decades the Democrats and their Liberal and Progressive adherents have degenerated to the point where the very mention of God or religion – except to deny the former and lambast the latter – is anathema to them.

No, no longer could or would a Democrat describe Man as the child of God.

So too during the Left’s fall from vestiges of Americanism it once had, did they decide to revile most forms of mention of the enlargement of liberty for individual human beings, demanding instead a collective ethical consciousness that places non-sexual individual liberty subservient to both the State and the collective.

Thus Did We Die

Posted in Politics, Society on May 3rd, 2016

The flag flies at half staff over land in mourning for the passing of AmericaIt is a simple fact, proven time and time again by history, that most nations fall through the actions of others, not through their own, though it is also proven true that in many cases it is actions of their own that hastened or guaranteed their destruction by their foreign enemies. In all truth, it has always been an extreme rarity – and exceptional historical event – for any nation to truly fall and be destroyed by itself. In the normal course of events, the self-harm of a nation leads to its destruction but is not the actual, proximal cause of it.

And yet, we of the West are so very exceptional.

The nations and peoples of Western Civilization – in the modern era, the bastion of the Civilized World – are exceptional to the point of near uniqueness. We, lacking foreign enemies with both the will and the means to bring about of destruction and extermination, have chosen to breed, raise, and train our own destroyers.

So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over–a weary, battered old brontosaurus–and became extinct.

Malcolm Muggeridge

One need only open one’s eyes and look around in to see that Mr. Muggeridge was not wrong. No, Mr. Muggeridge’s prediction seems more rational than cynical these days, decades after he made it, as any with any level of objective awareness can see.

Barbados!

Bajan Grand Kadooment Day

Yes, with the wold and, more specifically America, in the state it’s in and the direction it seems to be shambling towards, there are times – times that occur with greater and greater frequency – when I just want to pack it in, at least for a while, and head off to my pleasant and beautiful climes.

Barbados, in point of fact, sounds like a great place to go. Not only are the environs and people beautiful, but the Bajans have shown that, if people put aside age-old hurts, grievances, and excuses, a culture can develop that embodies most or all of what has time and time proven to be what tangibly works with the passionate and colorful aspects of other cultures that bring enrichment and intangible benefits.
