RINO Hunt: Colin Powell and Arlen Specter

I’ve been hearing quite a few Republican squishes whine that Colin Powell isn’t getting a fair shake and that Arlen Specter is such a great loss to the party. I submit that neither one of them was ever in the party. A person can only be so far to the left on the political spectrum and still be a Republican/Conservative. These two are so far over that they’ve always lived in downtown Democratville.

Racist Codes

Always remember, saying, “That’s code for racism,” is code for reverse racism.

Shamefully Behind on Posts

I somewhat embarassed myself with the previous dramatic post considering there have been no posts for weeks. Unfortuntely, my employers demand that they come first and duty called.

I’ve Returned

I’ll provide a brief explanation of my absence for my long-distance friends. The financial disaster to which I referred in the previous post was a good old-fashioned case of getting fired. It came as a big surprise because I was the only one following state and federal law where I was working. When I became frustrated enough to complain to the boss, I was told I was just jealous and the most egregious violator was held up to me as an example to emulate. Further complaints only got me tagged as racist in addition to “just jealous”. Finally, the day came when our new supervisor sidles up to me and tells me, with a literal wink, “You don’t have to be good, Don. You just have to look good.” I told him that, since it was a matter of public safety, I wasn’t going to cut corners or falsify documents and if things didn’t change I would report him to the authorities. In my good-natured naivety, I actually felt bad about having to get so tough with him. So, to no one’s surprise but my own, when I arrived at work the next day I was beset by management, whisked into the office, and immediately fired for “threatening to kill everyone the previous day.” I was relieved of my keys and shown the door. Truly, no good deed ever goes unpunished.

As you might expect this introduced an additional element of stress into my marriage. When we married, we were both relatively low-paid educators with similar political and social beliefs. Among those beliefs was that the necessity of a voucher system if the public education system was going to even approach functionality. As luck would have it, she took a “desperation” job with every intention of leaving the next year. It is a charter school dedicated to giving kids a “second chance”. As with every left-wing institution, the slogan is deceptive. I believe in second chances. God knows I’ve needed a few. However, to even get sent to this institution of “learning” a kid is usually on something like his 37th chance, and should have long since been in jail. My wife was of considerably higher quality than what they usually got and she skyrocketed through the ranks-and pay scale. Soon she was earning four times my income. This was when she “started growing balls” as my brother would say. The 80-100 hour workweeks were only the beginning. My lovely started gaining weight-a lot of it. By the end she tipped the scales at about 380 pounds. Even as bad as this all was, the worst part was what her constant immersion in the leftist world was doing to her. At one point she informed me that she was no longer a Republican, she was a Christian Socialist. Why, you might ask? It’s easy. She informed me that if one reads the Bible, and actually understands it, you’ll be forced to admit that Christianity IS Socialism, and that Socialism simply IS Christianity put into practice.

I decided that, since what is good for the goose is good for the gander, I would make some unilateral changes of my own. I would look for a new job, but I would be more selective and not take the first thing that came along and I would use the resultant slack time to work on my frequently neglected novel. This introduced two new forms of tension: First, my wife bitterly resented the loss of income, even though towards the end my job provided less than 20% of the family budget; Second, she feared embarrassment should my book ever be published. All the more ironic since this particular book was her idea. You see, I had been writing another book when we met. During that time, for some reason that I have long since forgotten, the works of a certain obscure author came up. I was familiar with him and my wife expressed curiosity so we obtained some of his books. She only read a few of them because she found them to be poorly written (a frequent complaint) but she did find the concepts and themes presented to be “provocative” and “stimulating”. Some time later, she requested that I temporarily abandon the book I was writing and start a new book based on similarly provocative and stimulating themes, but do a better job with the basics. Eager to please her, I agreed. Now comes the stressor. After over 3 years of writing and rewriting, researching material, extensive note-taking, a glossary, multiple appendices, and writing numerous back-stories, she announces that she wants me to abandon the project. Why? Because being associated with the story, even obliquely as the wife of the author, would be professionally embarrassing and could possibly harm her career. Naturally, I told her that after 500 pages of manuscript and nearly as many of ancillary material the answer wasn’t just “no”, It was “Hell, no!”

There is more. There always is. No doubt I could have handled things better, but then I could have done much worse. Regardless, things went along like that for awhile, then my sweetie filed for divorce. She could have handled that a little better, and she couldn’t have picked worse timing. I won’t lie, it hurt. It hurt a lot. Still, the 380-pound thing took a lot of the sting out of it.

I took the opportunity to take stock of my life, because that’s what one does at such times. For the first time in 20+ years, I had nothing to tie me to the place I was in. I decided that was as good a time as any to go back to my hometown to make a fresh start. I had left because I hated small town life, and I still do. I just have come to hate city life even more. Besides, my son and grandchildren are here and I felt an impulse to be a more involved granddad. So I moved home. It was a good decision, but I did overestimate the demand for middle-aged, overeducated white guys. I’ve been living “pillar to post” as they say for several months, but I’ve finally bagged a job. I’m looking forward to resuming blogging without having to pull punches for the sake of my ex.

Have a good one, folks.

Apologies to Those Who Stop By

I apologize for dropping out of sight. I had an unexpected financial disaster which greatly complicated my life. Additionally, I got wrapped up in working on a novel that I’ve been writing and couldn’t bear to stop because I was definitely on a roll. I’ve got about 500 pages done and I’m beginning to think I’m going to pull it off. I’ll try to post more often in the future. In the meantime, go read my response to the Lefty loon who commented on “The Poor Don’t Pay Squat”.

Necromongers

I don’t know how many of you folks out there are science fiction or fantasy fans. If you’re not, I think it’s your loss. Despite what your bitchy old maid English teacher told you in Jr. High School, it’s just as legitimate a literature as any other and asks the big questions about the “human condition” just as well as any other, sometimes better. After all, what’s more important than the future and the genre provides an excellent opportunity for “if this goes on” kinds of stories.

Naturally, the message people draw from these stories depend a lot on what they bring to the story with them. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is a classic example. It is excellently written with a depth and attention to detail one seldom sees. Virtually everyone who reads the books insists on seeing them as allegorical, i.e. one extended metaphor from cover to cover. I’ve met people who see an object lesson on abandoning traditional values, others who see the Second World War acted out in a commentary on fascism, still other see an environmental angle with the Ents. Lots of us have met hippy folk in the 60s and 70s quite convinced the stories foretold the peace, love, and dope generation. So much so that they insist the Hobbit’s pipeweed is marijuana. The point being that despite the author’s intention a reader may take a totally different message home than the author intended. And no, that admission doesn’t legitimize that stupid deconstructionist crap.

So it is with the movie Chronicles of Riddick starring Vin Diesel, a sorta, kinda sequel to Pitch Black. I enjoyed the movie greatly. I thought it was great story, although many might find it too dark in tone. This wasn’t a problem for me since I like my entertainment a little on the dark side. I’m one of those people that find people who are always chipper and happy intolerable. Morning people are particularly irritating. If you see me chipper and happy go-lucky, it’s probably raining. But I digress.

I’m not going to go all through the movie, so for the 3 or 4 of you who haven’t seen it, grab the DVD. I’m going to concern myself with the heavies in the movie, the Necromongers. I found these blood-thirsty closed-minded homicide machines to be a perfect metaphor for our present day Muslims. Ironically, one of the first people they waste in the film is a Muslim Imam. I know, I know. Muslims in the future? It doesn’t compute, but no movie is perfect.

The Necromonger’s religious beliefs are beyond bizarre, they are demonstrably insane. In order to achieve their paradise, the UnderVerse, they are dedicated to setting things right. Unfortunately for everybody that isn’t one of them, the Necromongers consider life itself to be a cosmic mistake, a tragic accident, a cosmic infestation if you will. They are literally a death cult. They practice what they preach by sterilizing themselves when they become Necromongers to prevent themselves from adding to the problem. Consequently, they increase only by conversion, which is easier than it sounds since the only other choice is to be murdered. Sound familiar? This is their only function. They travel from place to place, planet to planet, and destroy everything the find. Those that will convert are converted into killing machines themselves. Everyone that won’t is killed. Then the process is repeated somewhere else. They are relentless and are too far gone to be reasoned with. They know that their cause is righteous and the only way; they will brook no disagreement. That should also sound familiar.

Are The Muslims 10 Feet Tall?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed a disturbing trend among some of my fellow citizens. It reminds me a great deal of the way some people viewed the Soviets back before their collapse. To judge by what was in the popular media back then we were doomed. Our only real option was to put off the inevitable as long as possible. The inevitable outcome of being swallowed up by the vastly more moral, if not superior Communist/Socialist juggernaut.

Back during the 1980s I came across a rather refreshing article titled something like “Are The Russians Ten Feet Tall?”. The article argued that far from being the invincible supermen that Americans feared (or in some cases adored). The Soviets were in serious trouble. Sadly, I don’t remember many particulars of the story. Mostly I just remember feeling relief at some sign that I might not wind up working on a collective farm somewhere after all.

Now I hear from time to time the same sort of thing being said about the Muslims: They can’t be contained or defeated. There are too many of them. They are too fanatical. They are more dedicated and so forth. While we Westerners are too fat, lazy, stupid, ignorant, agnostic, ambivalent, etc. to preserve ourselves. I’ve even heard a co-worker once state that we deserved to be conquered and oppressed as punishment for what we have “done” to the rest of the world. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure that the statute of limitations has run out on colonialism, Indian wars, slavery, etc.

Like most of you I’m sure, I’ve been continually researching Islam and the Muslim world and I find a lot of chinks in their armor that could be exploited, if only we lived in a society that exploits its advantages. One of these is Muslim (or at least Arab) disdain for physical labor. It’s my understanding that starting at the bottom and working your way up is an unfathomable concept to most. I’ve read that its not uncommon for an otherwise able-bodied man to sit around unemployed for 10 years, smoking and quaffing coffee at the local coffee shop while waiting for “suitable” employment (e.g. management).

Another I’ve heard and read about is their penchant for physical cowardice. Naturally, some will raise the specter of suicide attacks as proof that they are very brave indeed. I believe that is false on a numbers of counts: first, although there are obviously far too many people willing to be suicide bombers, the numbers pales in comparison to the number of Muslims available take the job (plus I consider suicide bombing to be evolution in progress); second, we must bear in mind that the numb nut actually believes he is on his way to have exclusive sexual access with 72 women for all eternity, I suspect that instead of brave he may simply be horny; third, if you’ll recall the first Gulf War, you’ll remember the droves of enemy soldiers scratching and clawing at each other in order to be first to surrender, sometimes to unmanned reconnaissance drones. The Gulf War presented an opportunity for every supply clerk and mess cook to be a Sergeant York.

There is another area that could be exploited, though I’m sure it will be denounced as cynical and mercenary. That is playing on the fault lines that run through the Muslim world. Sunnis and Shiites despise each other almost as much as they hate us. It seems like the only thing they can agree on is Kurdish genocide. The Wahabbis are nuttier than squirrel excrement and the world tends to forget that the Iranians are not Arabs, but rather Persians and have long considered the Arabs to be little more than hairless monkeys. We could play on that. I know it probably makes me a “bad” person, but I’m not so sure that civil war in Iraq is such a bad thing. Muslims killing Muslims is the epitome of the win-win situation.

Sad, But True #2

Remember the Melting Pot?

I heard somebody on the radio, I think it was Gary McNamara,say something brilliant and succinct, two things that don’t always go together. Paraphrasing: Don’t feel pride because of what you are. Feel pride because of what you accomplish.Think about it, if the source of your pride is race or ethnicity then your crowning achievement is the mere fact of your birth. If that is so, then after your umbilical cord was snipped your life has been all down hill.

Paul Tibbetts: May God Give You Fair Winds and Following Seas

I was pondering what to post on today and not having much luck. Then I stumbled upon a site where a standard issue Lefty psychobitch pronounced Paul Tibbetts, the recently departed pilot of the Enola Gay, a coward who died a coward. I would give you the link but I don’t want to send the skank any traffic.

If you don’t know, and if you don’t you just indicted the American education system, the Enola Gay was the name of the bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Tibbetts never expressed remorse at what had been done. He famously said that he had never lost a minute’s sleep over the mission. The Left in general and peaceniks in particular hounded the man his whole life, positive that it would only be a matter of time before he relented and begged someone, presumably the Japanese, for forgiveness. He never did and he shouldn’t have.

Why shouldn’t he? It’s simple. The Japanese of 1945 had it coming. It doesn’t matter how nice the Japanese of 1890 were, nor does it matter what good allies the Japanese of 2007 are. The Japanese of 1945 had it coming, big time. As a nation, we deserve world accolades for being forgiving enough to stop at two. To paraphrase the common man of the era: There was a war on buddy.

The mental midget who denounced Tibbetts is representative of the kind of attitude that will results in untold thousands of unnecessary deaths in our current war. I’m talking about the deaths of us, and our allies, of course. The deaths of the enemy don’t matter. Why? Because the bastards have it coming. Real Americans have no obligation to die for the fantasy world ethics of the Left.

General Tibbetts, I know that you were an Army Air Corps and Air Force veteran, but as a former Navy man, I wish you fair winds and following seas as you pass into the beyond.

Global Warming: The World’s Slowest Moving Disaster

A Reuters story I read recently (link died unfortunately) reports that due to Global Warming sea levels could rise 4 and 1/2 feet by the year 2100. They also say this is much worse than expected. Let’s put this is perspective. A quick calculation show that when averaged out, the disaster will be occurring at slightly over a half inch per year. This is their worst case scenario.

This will not be the end of civilization, even if true, and I’m still skeptical about that. That pace is slow enough that even Democrats could adapt and we all know what evolutionary dead-ends they are. Yes, over a long period of time things would have to be moved, beach front property will be lost as new beach front property is created, and a few more rich people’s stilt homes will slide down hills they should never have been built on. But in the end, Denver will still be there, as will every town or city that I’ve ever lived in.

Wake up and smell the coffee (or, if you’re a Liberal, regain consciousness and take another hit on your crack pipe). The Environmental Movement is a fraud. As many other people have observed, it has become the hiding ground for anti-capitalist Leftists and “Back to the jungle” Luddites whose ideas no longer have any cachet.

Kill Your Birth Control Pills

Come on! It’s a beautiful thing.

A growing number of people are wising up to a problem I’ve been concerned about for a long time blog. That being low fertility rates among American and European women. Nihilistic feminists and other leftists have done an astoundingly good job in convincing the western world’s women that their most fundamental function, and what until recently was her first or second most desired status, is something to be avoided at all costs: child-bearing and motherhood.

It has been well-reported that virtually every nation in the western world and japan now have fertility rats below the replacement rate. Some far, far below. America is in better shape than most the industrialized world because our fertility rate is high enough that our population still grows, although the rate among natives is below the replacement rate. Europe on the other hand is voluntarily committing demographic suicide with fertility rates as low as 1.1 children per woman of childbearing age. A rate of 2.1 is necessary just to hold a population steady.

Europeans who scoff at the idea of having 2 or 3 children, believing they are too much of a burden, might very well find themselves tending 5 or 6 elderly relatives instead of their one child because there is no other way to do it. If this is the fate they choose for themselves, so be it. I hope it works for them and their soon-to-be masters.

I’m not much on the concept of duty because it implies some degree of forced compliance. However, for those that do believe in it, at some point having children becomes a civic responsibility. The situation also calls for a significant bump in our fertility rate. Not only for economic and security reasons, but also to keep our native culture from being swamped.

Personally, I have a hard time wrapping my head around this problem. I always wanted a large family. As fate would have it I only had two; a boy born in 1978 and a girl born in 1998. My new wife is quite a bit younger than me and wants children of her own so that might change. We are also looking to adopt some children. When other people hear about this they virtually gasp in shock. I don’t care though, I’ve had a child in my house since I was 18 years-old. I’m a family kind of guy and wouldn’t want it any other way.

What I do care about is that people like me can’t do it all on our own. I’ve always been kind of disgusted by who has kids and who doesn’t. People who should be having a dozen kids have one, or none. People who should be having maybe one or two have anywhere from 4 to 12. My first wife was the 13th child of 13 children. Now that I’m older and wiser I realize that Natalie (my ex-mother-in-law) should have been spayed back in the 1940s. But I digress.

My point is that, as a people, we should probably chuck the birth control pills into the drawer for at least 10 years or so. Native-born and well-assimilated legal immigrant couples have a lot of work to do if we don’t want to wind up like Europe and be the colony of some former colony.
