Shellings from the Peanut Gallery

There are times when one can no longer remain confined.
It matters not that one agrees or disagrees.
It matters only that the shell that binds be cracked and thrown off.

The Wrong One Bites the Dust



4-17-12

Yikes! There I was spending Easter with family believing the world just might survive without my careful and close observation, only to return and find the world had indeed turned upside down.

What happened to Rick Santorum? Why in the world did he quit now ... before NY, PA, TX and CA?

Seriously?!?! He was the only one close to Romney and the only one to keep him from hitting that magic 1100+ number. If those morons at GOP-E central think for a minute that most of Santorum's supporters will flock to old GREENrich they are sadly mistaken! Of course I can only speak for myself, but I'll not be switching to anyone else. Enough!

Santorum was NOT the one to drop out. Old selfish, egotistical Newt and that crazy uncle from the attic Ron Paul are the ones who should have dropped out ... a couple of months ago actually.

Every time I read anything about this so-called election I get those déjà vu chills up and down my spine. Far too much of the rhetoric, the actions and the manufactured polls are comparable to the 2008 election and should scare the bejabbers out of everyone.

After quick perusals of my favorite sites I find nothing about the removal of that ineligible usurper from the ballot. What that tells me is that the GOP-E are lining up once again to ensure the illegal, ineligible, America hating usurper "wins" the phony "election" so he can become king of America for life. Please excuse me now as I am about to be very, very sick.

Systematically Destroying the GOP:
John McCain vs. Ron Paul

How the TEA Party has been co-opted and is
displacing the Conservative Base
Part III

Realizing this series has become tediously verbose, I contend these facts play a significant role in our understanding as to who are the contenders, how they have set the stage we find ourselves on today, and how they intend to wrest control of the grassroots TEA Party Movement as well as the GOP.

Who are the Libertarians and Ron Paul and what are their goals within the TPM and the GOP? This quote from the Libertarians for Obama website that may shed some light on their goals:
Support the libertarian parts of Obama's agenda.
Ending the war, closing Guantanamo Bay and rolling back George Bush's curbs on civil liberties won't be easy. The same Republicans who called Obama a coward or a terrorist during the campaign will redouble their efforts when he starts to wind down the warfare state. He'll need all of the libertarian allies that he can get.

I have been unable to fathom exactly what “civil Liberties” President Bush curbed. There was no change in my life, but then again I don’t associate with terrorists or use their tactics to get what I want which may explain why I saw no change.

The Libertarian Party website boasts this quote:
The Libertarian Party is America’s third largest political party, founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political parties. Our vision is for a world in which all individuals can freely exercise the natural right of sole dominion over their own lives, liberty and property by building a political party that elects Libertarians to public office, and moving public policy in a libertarian direction.

Having elements of the libertarian philosophy on one’s plate as a side dish is not a bad idea, but serving them as the entire meal is a frightening proposition.

Beware of groups using the terms; Open Government, Freedom, Liberty and Patriots. While these terms sound innocuous enough, all Americans with even a scintilla of research on organizations sporting these terms will likely turn up a link to the Libertarians and/or their funding foundations. Foundations and organizations to scrutinize are the far left-wing, radical Ford, Joyce, Heinz, Tides and Robert Wood Johnson Foundations [also the Wood Fund], the Carnegie Corporation, as well as the ever present Open Society Institute and the Soros Foundations network, founded and chaired by Nazi collaborator and communist, George Soros.

These are the types of individuals and organizations frequently associated with many of the so-called Libertarians, who like Ron Paul call themselves, republicans. While I am confident there are many folks involved who simply want pot to be legalized, and prefer to make love not war, there are dangerous affiliations being forged behind the scenes which most of the grassroots tea partiers are unaware. It is my opinion they are trying to gain control of the Republican Party as well as shepherd the TEA Party movement down their preferred path.

The Ron Paul, Libertarian tea party people gather under the umbrella called Tea Party Patriots. They boast 1500 Tea Party groups registered with them, representing 15 million members.

The Tea Party Patriots [TPP] mission statement is no different than every TP group:
• Fiscal Responsibility
• Constitutionally Limited Government
• Free Markets
TPP has not joined with the other TP organizations in an effort to project unity. They contend they have the largest membership of any of the grassroots TEA Party organizations and have no need to join others or have national leaders.

During the eight years of the Bush presidency there is little doubt John McCain continued to lick the wounds he incurred during his failed 2000 presidential primary campaign. On any given day one could find McCain dogging President Bush biding his time for an opportunity to once again thrust the knife into his back. He had a party loyalty score of only 81% -- among the lowest in the Republican conference.

From 2001-2008 McCain did little to support President Bush or the party, preferring to reach across the aisle crafting legislation that was against everything President Bush stood for: Opposing the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, the Patients’ Bill of Rights in 2001, Campaign Finance Reform in 2002, Cap-and-Trade in 2003, voted against drilling in ANWR, twice – 2003 and 2005, led the Gang of 14 in ‘05, brought forth the Terrorists Bill of Rights in 12-05, began waging a war against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in August of 2003, began the “Close Gitmo” campaign, and all methods of demeaning the conduct of the war.

What did he hope to achieve? -- To derail the Bush agenda! By God, McCain was supposed to be the president and no one was going to steal it from him. Therefore he joined the chorus of the far left-wing, radical, lunatics proclaiming President Bush was selected -- not elected, and constantly alleging the “mismanagement” of the war, albeit was done silently or through legislative means and back room deals using unknown think tanks and alleged policy institutes.

The tragedy suffered by our country on 9-11 brought about a brief truce allowing McCain to support President Bush and the Global War on Terror. During the 2004 Republican National Convention McCain supported President Bush for re-election, praising his management of the War on Terror since the September 11 attacks. We now know behind the scenes negotiations were underway for McCain to switch parties and appear as VP on the Kerry ticket. A major motivation for his support, in all probability, was one simple fact -- McCain was up for re-election as Senator in 2004. With the elections over, McCain launched a full assault against SecDef Rumsfeld and the War on Terror.

One contingent within the Republican Party represents the so-called moderates or centrists. They are well defined in The Republican Main Street Partnership. Read their History, their Mission, and who their Elected Members are for an eye-opening experience. McCain has been a published elected member and stalwart leader for some time.

The Reform Institute launched in 2001 with John McCain serving as chairman to 2005 and Robert Kerrey assumed the position until 2008. They were able to successfully guide campaign finance reform through the legislative process bringing it to fruition in 2002. Other projects of The Reform Institute dealt with comprehensive immigration reform, which failed to be turned into another amnesty in 2006 and 2007, but is still alive and well. Large contributions in judicial races, focused primarily in California and comprehensive energy reform – promoting the “smart grid” using “renewable” resources such as wind and solar, without allowing for drilling for oil on our own soil, building nuclear power plants, clean coal facilities or oil refineries. In other words…Go green or die.

Oddly enough, there no longer appears to be any workable link to The Reform Institute. They burst onto the scene in 2001 funded by George Soros, and quietly vanished shortly after President George W. Bush left office. Some may call this a strange turn of events…a coincidence…I think not! These events and factual accounting of the bizarre turn of events, weave a cynical and disastrous web of deceit that may take an astronomical amount of time and tenacity to unravel.

We must learn everything we can about the players and their associates. What I have presented here is only the tip of the iceberg, and that iceberg will have the same effect on our beloved country as that which was suffered by the Titanic and the untimely meeting with an iceberg of its own.

John McCain is leading one of the assault teams. Known associates and those funding his subversive “institutes” and activities should be examined closely. As previously mentioned, any links to The Reform Institute no longer exist. He continues to serve as Chairman of The International Republican Institute. He was a featured speaker at The Shadow Convention in 2000 sponsored by George Soros and organized by Arianna Huffington. McCain is a long time member of the The Senate Centrist Coalition the name of which is "Third Way," subtitled, "A Senate-Focused Progressive Advocacy Group."



McCain and Ron Paul are listed under "Affirmations of Insiders" on the Bush Regime website, along with other paragons of conservatism such as Helen Thomas, Max Cleland and another disgruntled former republican, Christine Todd Whitman.

Ron Paul and John McCain: The power brokers in the war game for the soul of America.

Every known associate must be investigated.

As an acquaintance said recently;
“Our country is under a full frontal assault right now.”
If our citizens do not wake up and end their apathetic and restrained reaction to this assault, we will lose our country as sure as the sun rises in the east.

Systematically Destroying the GOP:
John McCain vs. Ron Paul

How the TEA Party has been co-opted
and is displacing the Conservative base

Part I


There is something very nefarious occurring in our land and no one is seemingly aware of it…or they simply do not care. Perhaps the drumbeat is being drowned out by the cacophony we have been subjected to since President Bush won the South Carolina primary in 2000, effectively ending John McCain’s bid for the presidency at that time. The ongoing and massive campaign to malign, castigate and absolutely destroy President George W. Bush should disturb any citizen who has a concern for his country. Allowing the blatant falsehoods, misrepresentations and abject lies -- not only to stand, but to be cultivated and expounded on -- is simply mind boggling. At least that was the case until this week.

On Friday April 23, 2010 a rather innocuous article from the Wall Street Journal titled; “Miss Me Yet? The Freedom Agenda After George W. Bush,” was posted on freerepublic.com, regarding President Bush’s ongoing work on his “Freedom Agenda” through the newly formed Bush Institute at SMU. Of course, the thread devolved into comments and attacks on the first part of the title -- Miss Me Yet? -- totally ignoring the latter portion.

I followed a poster on the thread at FreeRepublic.com. He was a weird and nasty sort of chap, never giving any sort of sourcing to support his fragmented, inane statements, but continued to reiterate his nonsense with an air of superiority and arrogance not seen in anyone other than Obama. There were of course, those who came on the thread to voice their sentiments in regard to missing President Bush, as well as his on-going mission to assist those seeking freedom throughout the world. Vicious, vitriolic attacks were launched on long time members of FreeRepublic and were tolerated for six days before the eventual banning of said poster.

The above was included as a precursor to the story line indicated in the title.
Fortunately, before he was banned -- or zotted as they say of FR -- he managed to post what I believe is a key to understanding the unprecedented onslaught against a good and courageous man who has more honor and integrity in his little finger than most will ever possess collectively.

What was it the weasel said that finally made my brain engage and connect the dots that have been bouncing around inside my head?

“… I’m opposed to deifying Bush’s record.
The MSM defined him as a “far right conservative”, but he was anything but.
Continued defense of that record provides cover for other soft-socialists in the GOP.
If we want to retake the GOP, that liberalism must be expunged.”

These few lines speak volumes that will surely take time to examine and research, thus Part I in a continuing series to unravel the mysteries of such a vile attack on President Bush, the GOP, America and all who care about our great country.

In dissecting these absurd statements, let me begin by stating unequivocally that no one is attempting to deify the record of President George W. Bush. We are simply undertaking the massive task of providing an honest and legitimate accounting of his presidency. Although the same cannot be said for those vilifying his record with baseless accusations and lobbing gratuitous insults -- not only at the President -- but the whole of his supporters.

In the irony of all ironies, the poster referred to the “Main Street Media” has having defined President Bush as a “far-right conservative” -- which he claims the President was not. I will concede the point…to a degree. President Bush may not have been a “far-right” conservative, but he was most certainly a conservative. That he was not as conservative as some would have preferred, is irrelevant. The problem I have is basing anything on what the alleged “MSM” has to say.

Continuing to play defense to a medium that has lost much of their influence -- not to mention profit margin -- is ludicrous. My contempt is aimed at those who continue this practice as opposed to launching an all-out offensive to restore truth and accountability. The media -- especially the media of today -- have labeled themselves as our enemy by their actions and their faux reporting. They have become the Enemedia…or maybe they always were the enemy and only through the internet, conservative talk show talent, and the plethora of conservative print media that have sprung to life over the past two decades, are we finally waking up to that fact.

To continue appeasing the Enemedia by defending their incongruous charges against President Bush -- in whole or part -- is ridiculous. The GOP and the conservatives who identify with them -- for lack of another outlet -- should take a few pointers from the DemonRats. First…deny, deny, deny…their obscene charges. Second…coalesce around the intended target of the attacks. In this case…President Bush. As an example, think Bill Clinton. Third…demean and ridicule those making the statements.
Finally, follow up with concise irrefutable evidence to defuse the lies of both the Enemedia and those repeating them, regardless of which side of the isle they resent.
Seeking to assist in the destruction of a good man that led with dignity, honor and love of country in one of the worst scenarios in which any President has had to cope, is reprehensible. Doing it to play defensive games with a known enemy, while promoting one’s own agenda makes it all the more deplorable.

There is far more to applaud in President Bush’s record than that for which to castigate him. Most of the charges in relation to his “alleged socialism” can be correctly and easily explained – something I will do in a follow-up article. At the top of the list would be that the President of the United States of America is not a king, a dictator nor a tyrant. Well…at least he wasn’t until January 20, 2009. Most Presidents must work with Congress, whether they are hostile or friendly. To affix all blame on the President is to ignore the 535 people that actually write and promote their signature pieces of legislation and along with themselves -- John McCain being a perfect example of such behavior.

Those that declare President Bush is a liberal socialist and he and his kind must be “expunged” from the GOP if there is any hope of retaking the party, are working on an agenda of their own, with their own “leaders” and time-tables. This agenda and those behind it are who and what must be exposed.

COMMUNISM DOES NOT WORK

What a profound little paragraph that says it all:

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation."
"You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

~~~~ Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 ~~~


To illustrate:
An economics professor at a local college made the statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

It could not be any simpler!

HOW TO STOP THE COMMUNIST TAKEOVER OF AMERICA

STOP referring to the media as mainstream. They are not!
Giving them credibility by courting them as mainstream does nothing to further the cause of freedom and liberty. They have proven time and again they are the enemy, spreading the enemy’s propaganda.
They are the ENEMEDIA!

STOP watching television and most especially the news, aka propaganda. Why would any freedom loving American subject themselves to the misinformation and outright lies that constitute what some call news? Why does anyone want to give ratings to the so-called entertainers, actors, writers, and media moguls that insult you whenever they seize an opportunity to do so? It is a consumer driven market...quit consuming!

STOP using verbiage which confuses the masses.
It is not Marxism. One is not a Marxist.
It is COMMUNISM and one is a COMMUNIST.
The everyday man on the street, along with many educated and extremely intelligent folks, have no idea what Marxism or a Marxist is or what it represents. Some know the name Karl Marx, but few have a clue exactly why they know his name.

STOP allowing the enemies of America to define us and our actions.

STOP using oxy-morons such as “Pro-Life Democrat” -- there is no such thing as we so painfully learned on Black Sunday, 3-21-10.

STOP with the cutesy, civility and respect for those who are working non-stop to destroy our way of life and our nation. Respect is an earned honor, not to be given freely or demanded. I don’t care who they are -- so-called elected representatives, powerful organizations, your neighbors and friends, millionaires, Hollywood nuts, the pooooor, or the average communist on the street -- stop befriending, supporting and associating with them.

And most of all --

STOP calling the islamo-fascist, foreign-born, illegal, illegitimate, unconstitutional communist bastard currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. the president. He is not!

I fully support “calling those things that are not as though they are” in the Biblical sense, but when it comes to calling enemies friends, or politicians respectable, the fringe elements and propagandists mainstream, a tyrannical usurper the president, we have gone way too far with the courtesies.

Unless and until We the People reclaim our language and our culture, as a nation we will fall. We need to consistantly and tirelessly be on the offense and quit playing defense. If someone calls you a rascist, laugh at them and walk away shaking your head as in disbelief. If one of the communists attempts to engage you in conversation, simply say; "I don't talk to commies" and walk away.
