A Proposed Election Strategy for 2010

I have been getting a lot of letters lately from the Republican National Committee (RNC) asking me for money.  Fifteen years ago I used  to send $45 every two weeks to the RNC.  I was energized by the toppling of the power drunk and corrupt Democrats.  I was also inspired by the  so-called Contract with America.  But I stopped sending the RNC money when the Republicans didn't respond to Bill Clinton's lying advertisement that implied that Republicans wanted to destroy Medicare.  I thought that they were wusses for not responding to the obvious false parcing of a long quote from then House Speaker Newt Gingrich.  

In fact, the Democrat prevaricators intentionally misquoted then House Speaker Newt Gingrich as saying that Republicans wanted Medicare to "wither on the vine." A comment on an ABC blog got the quote right. What Gingrich actually said was:

O.K., what do you think the Health Care Financing Administration is? It's a centralized command bureaucracy. Now, we don't get rid of it in round one because we don't think that that's politically smart and we don't think that that's the right way to go through a transition. But we believe it's going to wither on the vine because we think people are voluntarily going to leave it-- voluntarily.

Gingrich meant that it would be the Medicare bureaucracy that would "wither on the vine," not Medicare benefits.

I wondered what in the world the had the RNC done with all those  contributions that I and others sent in good faith?  Since 1996, the GOP has been a huge disappointment to me resulting in me finally changing to independent voter status in 2004.  The one thing from the Contract with America that I really wanted--term limits--was left undone. This is why scumbags like Teddy "Lady Killer" Kennedy and Robert "KKK" Byrd were allowed to take taxpayer money for being useless public "servants."

As much as it pains me to say, George W. Bush allowed himself to be "bitch slapped" by a bunch of cowardly ridgling liberals by never defending his policies until the very last week of his Presidency.  The Republicans have never understood how to use the media since Lee Atwater unexpectedly died in 1991.  (How convenient for Clinton's Crapmeisters to have their nemesis die before the 1992 Presidential  elections.  (NN: It's almost as convenient as the death of a "heart attack" of Clinton supporter and Whitewater partner Jim   McDougal in 1997 who was in solitary confinement in an Arkansas Federal Prison.  McDougal was flipped and was abut to give damaging information about the "First Black President."  For a contrary view see Snopes.com )  Atwater understood the dirtbag attacks of the Democrat smear machine and responded with the truth about the feckless Liberal Candidate Michael Dukakis. 

But no I didn't re-register as a Democrat.  I had left the Democrat party after 20 years when the crypto-socialist Bill Clinton was nominated in 1992, as the party's Presidential candidate. The party that I had joined in 1972 had people like Henry "Scoop" Jackson, Sam Nunn and conservative party members in it that actually loved America. It also seemed to have a non-Marxist agenda that was designed to serve the interests of the American people not the interests of Europe or the Third World.  Now the party consists a bunch of crypto-Marxist girlie men and obnoxious women.

By 1992, the Marxist lemmings that I had despised in college were now running all things in the political, entertainment, and the media forums.  After frivolous dalliances with drugs, sex and rock and roll, the trust fund radicals from the Ivy League and other elite universities had assumed their pre-ordained positions in the establishment.  The proof came with the alleged anti-capitalist Jerry Rubin, the radical yippie who ended up holding business networking seminars in 1982.

Like most aristocracies the political left proceeded to define membership in the new plutocracy by having an Ivy League degree, old money pedegree, or by being a talented but unmonied acolyte with potential to serve the plutocrats.  Most of these talented but unmonied acolytes fail to understand that they are nothing more than "useful idiots" to the leftist plutocracy.   What is amazing is that the loudest acolytes of the Marxist scenario actually believe that they will be rewarded with membership in the upper crust.  Surprise!  They will be amongst the first to be lined up on the execution line as most Marxist regimes do to "useful idiots" when they are no longer useful to them.  Note how the Bolshevik Revolutions parallel the current Progressive Revolution; but without the blood--yet.

The revolutions of 1917 overturned the old social order. In that year, the new Bolshevik (see Glossary) government nationalized private estates and church lands, and it abolished class distinctions and privileges. Workers' councils (Soviets--see Glossary) took over the operation of factories [NN: GM and Chrysler are now "owned" by the Auto Workers Union] and were given the right to set production goals and remuneration levels. Banking was declared a state monopoly. Thus, the economic foundations of the old social order crumbled. The new ruling elite, the Bolshevik-Marxist intelligentsia, drew its support from what it called the proletariat--workers, landless peasants, and employees--while the formerly privileged--the clergy, nobility, high-ranking civil servants, and merchants--found themselves stripped of their property and even hindered in obtaining housing, education, and jobs. The Bolsheviks lifted some of the restrictions a short while later when they realized that they needed the professional knowledge and skills of some former members of the elite to operate the government and the economy. Yet the children of the formerly privileged were barred from educational and career opportunities for nearly two decades after the Bolshevik Revolution.

This information comes from the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress under the Country Studies/Area Handbook Program sponsored by the Department of the Army.

The Democrat party became the radical chic haven for the spoiled trust fund radical children. There was no longer any room for a "Law and Order Liberal" or even a "Bleeding Heart Conservative" in the Democrat party.  Only those that had belonged to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) or the myriyad of juvenile Marxist-like groups had a voice.  It seemed that past membership in the Socialist Workers Party or the CPUSA (Communist Party of the USA) was a resume enhancement.  SDS radical credentials got Tom Hayden elected to the California State Legislature and he was rewarded for helping the cause by getting to rent a hot celebrity wife in "Hanoi" Jane Fonda for a few years.  After that, leftist plutocrat Ted Turner rented Jane for a few more years.

The Bolshevik Captivity has brought nearly total control of every instrument of the US government by the Obama regime--especially the Treasury printing press.  Despite the fact that most of the original TARP money hasn't been spent on buying "toxic assets" hasn't stopped the Obama regime from spending even more money like the proverbial drunken sailor, except that unlike the thieving government, a sailor earns his money and therefore, the right to spend it as he pleases. 

There is so much talk lately about forming a third party of Conservatives, Libertarians, and any available disaffected politically displaced refugees. This is analogous to a bar fight in which the assistance from any human chancre with a broken bottle in hand is sought.  A third party would the best way to assure permanent Democrat control of the government by spliting the vote and taking us down the road to serfdom as envisioned by Friedrich von Hayek.  This confirmed by the media's indirect encouragement of the Tea Party's third party asperations.  The Republican Party has to come up with a counter to the tired old "tax and spend" elitist fascism of the Democrat Party.  Here are some suggestions.

• 
  
  Amend the Tax Code to exempt up to the first $10,000 of savings from taxation for all taxpayers per tax year.  What this means is that all taxpayer can give themselves a tax cut depending on the extent of their thriftiness.  What this will do is to cause an influx of "real" cash (earned income) into the banking system and not fiat money (play money) from the Federal Reserve.  Screw the leftist class warfare pablum that such a tax change would only benefit the rich.  It's honest, not punative, and will encourage good financial behavior from a wide range of taxpayers.  And hasn't the tax code been used before to encourage certain types of behaviors?
  
  
  

• 
  
  Any Federal involvement in health care insurance should be in the area of wealth preservation, i.e., catastrophic health insurance.   Many people can't get assistance because they, as former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle  (and tax cheating Democrat) said they've won "life's lottery," i.e., they bought a house or had a savings ethic.  Liberal Republican President Richard Nixon proposed such a plan in 1974.  But Watergate and first attempted coup by the Democrats to install Democrat House Speaker Carl Albert as the President of the United States was in full force and the Democrats had their own agenda in place.  Nixon parried that coup by appointing Gerald Ford as Vice-President.  The best laid coup plans of Democrat girlie men and obnoxious women was deferred until Obama's election.
  
  
  

• 
  
  Energy independence is critical to our continued success as the greatest nation on Earth.  So why are the Chinese drilling for oil off our shores?  Where is the true loyalty of the Congressional Democrats in forbidding us to do what our economic and political ENEMIES are doing? We need to drill offhore and drill now!  We need to forget the bulls**t scare tactics of the China Syndrome movie.  How convenient was the fact that the nuclear accident (?) at Three Mile Island happened 12 days after the movie's release?  Shouldn't we investigate why the Santa Barbara oil spill ended up curtailing off shore drilling in the US?
  
  
  

These are just three suggestions to try to solve some heavy duty problems in America.  But any suggestions for reform must be based upon a true love for the US as a country.  As I've stated before Obama's and the Democrat's agenda is based upon a hatred of America.  Let's stop these haters.  By the way being scrappy about the issue that you're concerned about is no crime.  Barry Goldwater put it best when he said:

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism...I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

Thomas Jefferson the alleged spiritul Father of the Democrat Party put it best when he said, "I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."  These are words to live by. Yet the Obama regime doesn't give a damn about America.  So be very afraid Liberal Fascists because your spiritual father, Thomas Jefferson is pissed at you for betraying his vision  of America and his spirit is coming to get you in the 2010 elections.

Grade Inflation

In the recently broadcast interview with Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama gave himself a grade of "a strong B+" for his first 11 months as President!  Ignoring the obvious arrogance of the Megalomaniac-in-Chief, it's frightening to realize that a person can delude himself into thinking that non-action is action.  Obama is a man that has accomplished little except to get himself elected President of the United States with smoke and mirrors and get a Nobel Prize for doing absolutely nothing.  It's also disconcerting to realize that this man wrote an autobiography before he had ever accomplished anything of note.

His second book, The Audacity of Hope, is a mirror into the soul of Obama.  Hope, it has been said is an excuse to do nothing.  And certainly Obama is well qualified on that account.  He does not speak particularly well unless he is tightly scripted by his handlers Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, the questions are pre-screened or planted, and when he has a teleprompter.  Although he was President of the Harvard Law Review and taught at the University of Chicago Law School, there is little or no evidence of any legal scholarship of note by Obama demonstrating what "thinking" Liberals  (NN: chortle, giggle, smirk) like to call intellectual curiousity and nuanced thinking.  His records from his birth certificate to school records have been sealed so that we know little about the 44th President of the United States,  except what is contained in his autobiography. Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose admitted as much during Rose's interview of Brokaw. 

It was said by some that John Roberts crafted his life to prepare for the vetting that he would receive when he became the nominee for Chief Justice.  But Roberts lived a life that can be verified by the public record and demonstrated a pattern of accomplishment from his youth to his appointment as a Supreme Court Justice.  Obama's life on the other hand is shrouded in mystery and avoidance.  In other words, our right to access about any facts about Obama has been converted to his right to let us know.  And this is where the grade inflation comes in.  Walter Williams writing in Capitalism Magazine, Fraud in Academia: Grade Inflation 101noted that,

Writing for the National Association of Scholars, Professor Thomas C. Reeves documents what is no less than academic fraud in his article "The Happy Classroom: Grade Inflation Works." From 1991 to 2007, in public institutions, the average grade point average (GPA) rose, on a four-point scale, from 2.93 to 3.11. In private schools, the average GPA climbed from 3.09 to 3.30. Put within a historical perspective, in the 1930s, the average GPA was 2.35 (about a C-plus); whereby now it's a B-plus.

Academic fraud is rife at many of the nation's most prestigious and costliest universities. At Brown University, two-thirds of all letter grades given are A's. At Harvard, 50 percent of all grades were either A or A- (up from 22 percent in 1966); 91 percent of seniors graduated with honors. The Boston Globe called Harvard's grading practices "the laughing stock of the Ivy League." Eighty percent of the grades given at the University of Illinois are A's and B's. Fifty percent of students at Columbia University are on the Dean's list. At Stanford University, where F grades used to be banned, only 6 percent of student grades were as low as a C.

In the law school that I attended in the late 1970s, the biggest complaint from students was that the grading scale was too severe. This "harder" grading scale resulted, it was alleged, in fewer job offers from the "top tier" law firms.  The school relented. It eased up a bit on the grading scale but worked hard to expand its legal programs and secure Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as a resident scholar for its "Originalist" program. In this sense subsequent law students got a value for value trade. The grade inflation was reasonable in this instance and my law school became a top tier law school.

Self-deception while not one of the traditional  Seven Deadly Sins does closely align itself with the sin of  "vainglory" or unjustified boasting.  Obama's self-awarded and inflated grade of "a strong B+" is the epitome of "unjustified boasting" to the nth degree.  Obama evidently ignored the unemployment numbers for November 2009 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Total unemployment stood at 10%, yet Obama who promised that unemployment would not exceed 8% if only we'd adopt his bailout plan thinks that he's done a cracker jack job as President.  Moreover, Obama has stolen the future of future generations by greatly increasing the National Debt. Instead of cutting waste and fraud in government programs like Medicare, Obama according to the Heritage Foundation:

... signed a "stimulus" bill that spends $800 billion, and he has proposed a budget that would:

• Increase spending by $1 trillion over the next decade;

• Include an additional $250 billion placeholder for another financial bailout;

• Likely lead to a 12 percent increase in discretion­ary spending;

• Permanently expand the federal government by nearly 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) over pre-recession levels;

• Raise taxes on all Americans by $1.4 trillion over the next decade;

• Raise taxes for 3.2 million taxpayers by an average of $300,000 over the next decade;

• Call for a pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) law despite offering a budget that would violate it by $3.4 trillion;

• Assume a rosy economic scenario that few econo­mists anticipate;

• Leave permanent deficits averaging $600 billion even after the economy recovers; and

• Double the publicly held national debt to over $15 trillion ($12.5 trillion after inflation).2

Before the recession, federal spending totaled $24,000 per U.S. household. President Obama would hike it to $32,000 per household by 2019— an inflation-adjusted $8,000-per-household expan­sion of government. Even the steep tax increases planned for all taxpayers would not finance all of this spending: The President's budget would add trillions of dollars in new debt.

Not even in the most liberal of economics classes would this Obamanomics nightmare pass muster if presented as a class project.  Most of the so-called shovel ready jobs won't be let until the eve of the 2010 Congressional elections. How convenient and how very, very Chicago politics.  But yet Obama believes that he has done such a good job to the point that his Chief Economic Advisor Larry Summers is saying (or whistling past the graveyard) that the Great Recession is over!  Doublethink is standard operating procedure in the Orwellian land of Obama.

Orwell's 1984 predictions were 25 years too early.  But not even a literary titan like Orwell could have imagined the oppressive obstinance of the Obama Administration.  The prevailing mental condition in the Obama Administration is apparently controlled insanity.  Einstein's definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  We know that socialized medicine (single payer) doesn't work (see the English National Health Service or the Canadian Medicare system).  But yet knowing this, Obama presses on.   Doublethink is the power to hold two contradictory beliefs  in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them.  Perhaps this is why Obama believes that he has done "B+" work. Nothing else explains his irrational actions except for a deep seated hatred of the United States.
