The State of the Union Address

America, Government, Headlines, History, Media, Morality, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture, Values

I admit. I didn’t watch it. I am so disgusted by the continuing marionette show I prefered to simply review the commentary afterwards. Others far more informed than I have already pointed out all the lies and distortions that spewed forth from the mouth of the puppet-in-chief. I’m going to, rather, address the peripheral question as to whether the GOP over-reacted and/or inappropriately reacted to the deliberate, pre-meditated misrepresentations and accusations hurled at them. Should they have sat quietly shaking their heads as Kevin McCarthy did, or should they have stood and yelled, “liar”, as Marjorie Taylor Greene did?

I’ve listened to both sides of the argument. Some on the Right say that not only was it uncharacteristic of members to shout out their opposition, but unseemly at best, rude and obnoxious at worst. They suggest that having done so, the GOP descended into the mud pit and acted no better than the Democrats. “Take the high road” has more often than not been the admonition of the Right.

What good has taking the high road done? I’m all for nobility and decorum, but when your opposition elevates their game from name-calling to defamation, censorship and character assassination (not to mention threat of REAL assassination – e.g. Kavanaugh), i.e. nonsensical speech to verbal kinetics, and has destroyed all means of civil undertakings to oppose him, the decision has to be made whether to take off the gloves and fight back, or not. The Democrats have so destroyed the principles by which we as a nation have governed ourselves for over three hundred years, so twisted and perverted the vocabulary, the rules of engagement, our history, even FACTS, that we have no choice, really, but to fight fire with fire.

This does not mean that we should simply resort to the kind of perverted antics so cherished by the Alinsky/Cloward and Piven brainwashed Left. Throwing the BS flag onto the floor of the House as was done during the SOTU isn’t a duplication of their style. Rather, it was a transparent, for-all-the-world-to-see return of fire akin (but more honest) to the ripping up of Trumps SOTU speech by Pelosi.

While some on the Right have argued that we gave the MSM a golden opportunity to castigate us further, I could almost hear the unified voices of the Traditionalists and Conservatives in America joining MTG, in unison!

Just as the Chinese push and push to see how far they can go, what our limits are, the Democrats have pushed and pushed to determine how far THEY can go. And once our limit is reached, and we push back, they cry, “See, you’re pigs and fascists and racists and anti-democracy and insurrectionists and threats to America.”

This is projection of the first order! Their banal vituperations are so childish, so outlandish, so petulant, so descriptive of precisely what THEY are and what THEY do, it would be laughable if it were not so destructive.

Shouting “liar” may be rude, but it’s factual, and for many brain-addled, MSNBC/CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC-watching Americans, it’s the first time they’ve ever seen any opposition to the BS spewing forth from their “leaders”.  The MSM has so distorted and censored the truth, they have created an alternative reality that millions of our fellow Americans actually believe! They are shocked to see the Right stand and call “BS”. They are puzzled when the MSM is forced (follow the money!) to cover the Democrats’ patently obvious treachery and deceit, their attempts to hide their failures and the results of their destructive policies and actions.

Is vocal opposition such as that witnessed during the SOTU enough to turn the tide? Does it help push the pendulum back? Will the probes by Comer and Jordan and the continuing exposure by what remains of conservative media start to repair the damage done to the hearts and minds of so many Americans who have fallen for the Leftist “alternative reality”?

I fear not. As good as it felt to hear someone voice what I would have said in the House chamber that night, it’s all talk. Until the GOP uses its power to halt the idiocracy created by the Democrats, until it garners and uses every tool at its disposal to pierce the dark fog of BS with which the Democrats have filled the airwaves, until more MTG’s, Gaetz’s Jordans, Kennedys, etc. create enough headlines with truth bombs to get the lemmings to break from their rush to the precipice, we will continue to simply hurl invectives at one another and continue sliding down the slippery slope.

As I have come to conclude, it’s going to take something monumental to wake America up. Not a balloon, not the Hunter laptop, not yelling “liar”. Something truly nasty may need to happen that will cause us to apply chemotherapy combined with radiation to kill the cancer that has metastasized. The Democrats have skillfully exploited the ratchet effect to incrementally destroy our values, our principles, our country.

We need to strip the ratchet.

2022 Will Be Crazier Than The Last Two Years

America, Headlines, History, Media, Society & Culture, Technology, Values

What more needs to be said about how bad things were, not just in 2021 but in 2020 as well? On a positive note, the Silent Majority of grounded, traditionalist Americans started to speak up and speak out, throwing the BS flag, as it were, on the field. The Left so overreached, their stupid and destructive ideology was so exposed, we could remain silent no more! Previously quiet citizens and formerly reserved pundits took off the gloves and began to call out the idiocy and treason for what it truly was and, going into 2022, still is. Even some, albeit still a minority, of Trump-hating, head-in-the-clouds Democrats took down their Biden-Harris and Black Lives Matter virtue-signaling, lawn litter signs.

A rehash of all the moronic policies, actions and lies that saturated our lives isn’t needed here. It will be said many years from now that if in retrospect you didn’t remember 2020 and 2021, “you weren’t there”.

We must look forward and not just bemoan all that has transpired to “fundamentally transform” our country, but paint a new picture of what “could be”. The reason the Right in 1994 was successful in taking back the House after 40 years in the wilderness was The Contract With America. Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey’s positive message is what carried the day, not a continued condemnation of the destructiveness of the Left.

We need to give people one-liners and mental images of What Could Be in America. And while an old timer like me would suggest a return to what was, for my kids and grandkids the vision has to be one which takes into account the changes (some would say advances, but I question whether they were!) that have occurred over the last ten to fifteen years.

Technology, for better or for worse, has marched inexorably on, invading every aspect of our/their lives. In my opinion its impact has done more to transform our society than all the Leftist nonsense. However, it gave the Left an unprecedented platform from which to manipulate the increasingly addled minds of what have become known as “The Sheep”.

We must show how fundamental principles of honesty, self-reliance, meritocracy, thrift, traditional families, uncensored history, the Golden Rule and all the rest of the traditional norms and values that made America the greatest country the world has ever known, can and will create a more prosperous, peaceful and equitable society. Slowly, but increasingly evident, this is happening.

We need new heroes. I’ve said this many times before, but the reality is that peoples’ attitudes are shaped by pop-culture and celebrity figures. We need to draw clear distinctions between the Good Guys and the Bad Guys. Pull heart strings and create gut reactions that reinforce traditional values, not seek to destroy them. The Good Guys need to expose all that’s wrong with the utopian fantasy and triumph over the encroachment of Evil represented by Leftist tyrrany. They need to be the kind of heroes who Gen Z’rs can tweet about, establish memes about, get excited about, align behind.

These heroes should NOT be politicans. Nor should they be reality show celebrities, pundits, Hollywood actors or flamethrowers. They will be more like Edward Durr, the 62 year old union truck driver who last November toppled the longest-serving Democrat Senate president in New Jersey history after spending pennies on his campaign. Or they will be like the eminently brilliant and sober Condoleeza Rice, a patriotic American woman who cannot be pigdeon-holed as a political operative. They will be John Wayne for the New Millennium. While Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz and similar outspoken Republicans will still bevvery much needed to draw headlines and bring attention to the failures of the Left, a new breed of leader is needed.

They need to be worthy of celebrity status but not because they seek it. They need to be attractive, articulate, positive, strong, quick-witted, exceptionally knowledgeable, tireless, patriotic, plain-spoken…a tall order to be sure.

I’m not sure what will happen this coming November. I fear the Right is being far too cocky already – a recipe for disaster. And speaking of disasters. It’s clear the Left/Democrats will do ANYTHING for power, American values, traditions and proven successes be damned. Just wait. Perhaps it will be “The Fungus”, or something external like an actual invasion of Ukraine or Taiwan, the Iranians testing a nuke or some other crisis. The Democrats will exploit it mercilessly and without reservation. And since the ends justify the means to them, they will lie, cheat, steal, and use every vicious and deceitful tactic in their arsenal to fight for their malicious agenda.

Gird your loins traditionalists.

2022 is going to be one hell of a ride as well but if we can use technology and social media to create that positive agenda, we’ll prevail in taking our country back!

CS-CR(*) and Reversing the Brainwash

Health Care, Media, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture

*CS stands for Conditioned Stimulus. CR stands for Conditioned Response. I learned in Pscyh 101 in college that it’s a lot easier to program human beings to respond to a stimulus than it is to reverse that response. The Left has programmed so many people with so much perverted stimulus that it’s going to take a LOT to deprogram them. In College I had the dubious privilege of listening to a guest lecture by the renowned psychologist B.F. Skinner. For those of you who took introductory Pscyh, you may recall Skinner was known for being the pre-eminent “behaviorist”, for the “Skinner Box” and “operant conditioning”. Skinner espoused the notion that free will is an illusion, and that all human behavior is the direct result of conditioning. To prove his point, he stood at the front of our class and began his lecture by explaining his theories about conditioning while holding a revolver in his hand.

Periodically, he would yell “CS” and fire the blank-loaded gun. Our guts would tighten instantly when we heard the loud report. He would then go on with his lecture, and every so often would repeat the “CS” – ‘BANG!” sequence. He did this three or four times and each time it predictably elicited the same visceral response among us, a pronounced tightening of the diaphragm.  

As he neared the end of his lecture, he once again yelled “CS”, only this time he did NOT pull the trigger.

We all nevertheless felt the contraction in our guts, expecting the loud bang.

“That,” explained Skinner with a wry smile, “is conditioned stimulus and conditioned response”. He explained that his cry of “CS” was the conditioned stimulus. The gut tightening was the involuntary conditioned response.

He went on with his lecture for another fifteen minutes or so, repeatedly yelling CS and NOT pulling the trigger. Our gut response continued, however.

During the question and answer period a timid student raised his hand and asked Skinner what it would take to deprogram us from the conditioned stimulus.

And this is where I was shocked to learn that while it took only a few instances of conditioned stimulus to produce the conditioned response of a gut twitch, IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST TEN TIMES LONGER TO REVERSE THE PROGRAMMING!

Indeed, as we walked from class, all across the campus one would hear the cries of “CS” as we students tried to prompt the conditioned response. Because none of us had guns, the novelty and programming wore off after another class period or two and we went on our merry ways.

Think, however, what the never-ending Conditioned Stimulus of Leftist BS has done to the population! So programmed to respond to, for example, COVID fear-mongering, are grown adults that they cower before their conditioners and obediently comply with their demands, however unscientific, unsubstantiated, unproven or lacking in common sense!

(For a very recent summation, by the way, that dispels the COVID conditioning to which I’m referring, please see the wonderful piece in Off-Guardian.org here. Think you’ll find it a useful reference.)

So, to counter the Leftist drivel, now deeply ingrained in the weak-minded psyches of so many people, will take a WHOLE LOT OF TRUTH TELLING… many times greater than what the Left has conditioned us with.

I don’t point this out to be pessimistic of fatalistic. I do so because the war in which we find ourselves is a war of wits. The only way we are going to be able to reclaim our country and banish the evil among us is by changing hearts and minds…by deprogramming and reprogramming people.

We’ve started this process. The wealth of truth-telling in so-called “alternative” (alternative to the MSM) news sites and the willingness of the “un(brain)washed” to speak out and openly about the falsehoods, lies and deceit constantly emanating from the mouths of Leftist politicians, judicial activists, teachers and people who would otherwise know better but who have been unwittingly programmed, is bit by bit serving as an antidote.

We need to keep it up! It’s going to take a while!

Tell Me Again Why You’re a Democrat?

America, Economy, Government, Headlines, Morality, Politics, Reason, Science

I’m sick of listening to Leftists lazily and endlessly repeat the phrases, labels and talking points they heard on the morning main street media news. I have neighbors around me who say truly stupid things like (and I’m paraphrasing closely from an actual, recent conversation) “I don’t subscribe to all the racism charges leveled at Dr. Seuss, but there are a couple of books that could be considered racist.” Yeah, right. “If I Ran the Zoo” is racist? Not then, not now…it’s absolutely ridiculous!

I get very angry when confronted by Leftist imbeciles denigrating all the things I value and hold dear and in the heat of the moment, it takes all my energy to keep from lashing out. Besides, with all the adrenalin coursing through me during one of these exchanges my usual glibness fails me. So I remain silent or neutral because I actually CARE about what I say. Afterwards, I often think of things I wished I had said.

Instead of having a ready supply of pejoratives to hurl at these cancer-carrying fools, I’ve come up with a number of questions that are only a little less confrontational. (Maxine Waters, I’m just following your admonition!) To wit:

  • Why would you want to be a member of the REAL racist party? It’s not the Republicans who practiced slavery in the South, enacted the Jim Crow laws, promoted eugenics, segregation and formed the Ku Klux Klan of which their leader Robert Byrd was most recently a member. It wasn’t Republicans in California who expanded mass incarcerations, which predominantly affected blacks, it was none other than Kamala Harris. On the other hand, it was the Republicans who freed the slaves, who supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act in greater proportions than the Democrats under the four years of the Trump administration, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians…all were lifted economically. Why would you want to be associated with and celebrate as your leaders race baiters like Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Ilahn Omar, etc.?
  • Why would you want to support leaders who don’t care about YOU or minorities or anyone or anything else but POWER. This is plainly exhibited in their push on HR1 which would be defacto the ultimate vote-stealing initiative. More importantly, HR1 is the epitome of racism – it plainly exposes the attitude of Democrats that poor people and minorities are too stupid or incompetent to get id’s when id’s are required to do just about anything today? Read the Bill!
  • Why would you want to be a member of a political party that can’t tell the difference between boys and girls, men and women? Who want to redefine human nature because they think it will benefit them politically? Why would you support people who are in favor of sex change operations for children and who want you to introduce yourself and ridiculously add “and my pronouns are…”?
  • Why would you want to be a Democrat when the Democrats preach “progressivism” but behave in virtually every way like true totalitarian fascists, doing everything and anything: cheating, stealing, lying, deceiving, bullying, cancelling, ignoring any truth or reality that contradicts their agenda, who think we must wear masks that REAL science shows are ineffective, not get together in churches and on July 4th with our families while you go into the grocery store or COSTCO all the time? Who want to confiscate not just your earnings but your wealth as well in order to doll it out to people whose political support and votes they believe they can curry?
  • Why do you insist on listening to, believing and parroting “narratives” crafted from focus groups and lazily repeated over and over as talking points by an admittedly dishonest Leftist media looking only for viewership and ad dollars while avoiding and suppressing the truth? Example? The Russian Collusion nonsense. The bases for both the first AND second impeachment efforts. The narrative that we should take two weeks to “bend the curve”. Most recently the editing out by NBC of the fact that the 16 year old girl in Ohio was about to stab another girl and repeatedly ignored the police officer who demanded she stop. Oh, and edited the 911 tape to remove the part where the caller screams the girl “is trying to stab us!”
  • Why would you want to support a Party that stupidly promotes defunding, “re-imagining” or eliminating the Police? Can you think of a more idiotic position to take? Yet, that’s what the Democrats are pushing.
  • Why would you want to be a member of a Party that wants no national borders so anyone at any time can just waltz across and receive tax supported handouts?
  • Why would you want to support Democrat sponsored environmental programs and legislation that won’t do a damn thing for “saving the planet” but will line the pockets of Green people and Green businesses but all the while allow the biggest polluters on the planet, the Chinese, to continue to pollute at will and impose draconian restrictions on America while turning a blind eye to those on, say, Europe. Oh, and who forget 6th grade science class where we learned that CO2 is not a pollutant but what plants use in photosynthesis to live and grow, and RENEW the breathable air on the planet! Do you really fall for the tripe that “CARBON is evil?” Guess what, carbon is what we’re made of!
  • Or maybe you subscribe to the “Can’t We All Get Along” utopian fantasy where everyone is granted a basic income, which of course is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth from the productive to the unproductive. Or where all nations are dissolved into a New World Order under a Great Reset ruled by a bunch of elitist, holier-than-though, self-proclaimed and condescending experts who will tell you, as they did in the European Parliament, what society as a whole can and can’t do. Some examples:
  • Limitation on balloon usage. According to EU rules from 1988 children under the age of 8 can not use latex balloons without a supervising parent. And text on the latex balloons must have such a warning on them.
  • Whistle blowers, that scroll out into a long colored paper tongue when sounded have now been classified as unsafe for all children under 14.
  • Eurocrats ban small fruit.  “The diameter of the fruit is a way of measuring its maturity/development. Fruit grown organically or conventionally have to reach a certain degree of maturity in order to have a reasonable chance of satisfying the consumer.” – who is the EU to tell Europeans what satisfies them? Is it any wonder the relatively sane Brits said enough and seceded from the EU?

It’s this same kind of stupidity and tyranny that permeates every piece of Democrat legislation.

  • Why would you want to vote for an administration that will relax the sanctions on the world’s greatest sponsor of terrorism, Iran, and allow them to with impunity move forward rapidly on their nuclear weapons program?
  • Why is it that you Democrats squeal that no one should have guns, when you know damn well that when seconds matter, the police are only minutes away. Or that if all the 400 million plus guns in the U.S. were eliminated on Monday, there would be hundreds, perhaps thousands of guns circulating by Friday, and they’d be in the hands of criminals who, knowing you are unarmed and only defended by social workers (.sic), wouldn’t think twice of breaking and entering your home, place of work, or place of worship to rob or hurt you?
  • And why would you vote for and want a sadly demented, corrupt man who never had a real job in his life, who is nothing but a marionette whose strings are being manipulated by imbeciles and woke, lying, anti-american idiots like AOC, and professional political megalomaniacs like Pelosi and Schumer, and the worst kind of behind the scenes operatives like Susan Rice and now Obama, to be the President of the greatest nation the world has ever known?

Shall I continue? I could go all day pointing out the stupidity of what the Biden and Leftist Cabal are trying to do to “fundamentally transform” America. Into what? Into a sniveling bunch of recycled, quiche eating, limp-wristed, merlot drinking 60’s hippies staring at their iPhones while sitting around a campfire with terrorists trying to strike up a rendition of Kumbaya?

  • Or maybe you’ve been brainwashed to believe that we ARE a nation of racists, of colonialists, of exploiters of the earth, of knuckle-draggers bent on killing off minorities and gentle people?

All politics is abhorrent to me, and both the Left AND the Right say and do despicable things, but the vast preponderance, I repeat, the VAST preponderance of shenanigans, deception, falsehoods, hypocrisy, rules-for-thee-but-not-me attitudes, power-addiction, anti everything that made this nation great behavior and rhetoric is exhibited by Democrats. It’s not even close.

I’m very sorry for you. You have to be either asleep, willfully ignorant, too adolescent and subject to peer pressure and emotional blackmail, too dependent on their handouts, too brainwashed, or just plain stupid, to be a Democrat.

So tell me again why you are?
