More of a Middle Aged Legume…

“I am not a New-age Nutcase”

– Marianne Williamson

I agree with Marianne Williamson, she is not a New-Aged Nut even if she is reminiscent of Christine O’Donnell.  Between you and me I’m still not as convinced regarding Christine O’Donnell…
Let’s admit it, Democrat Primary Debates of 2019 have been fun to watch.
The honesty of the Left would be overwhelmingly hilarious if they weren’t serious. So shake off the entertainment value and realize these people mean it.  The only thing that’s funny is that so many socialists have worked so long to keep their genuine beliefs so hidden, and now they have lost control.
To Nancy Pelosi’s chagrin, the masks have been removed. The real faces of the Democrat party are now right out into the open.
The Elizabeth Warren’s, Bernie Sanders’ and AOC’s of the world are saying out loud what the Democrat Party has been promoting behind closed doors for the half-century following the Democrat convention of ’68. Up until now, these people have been kept behind those doors… they were only allowed out for private fundraisers in the dining rooms of Hampton vacation homes. Now they are on Stage! (Yes I know it was CNN and there are only a couple of hundred people watching but it’s still somewhat of a stage.)
Well, back to my point.
Marianne Williamson has stolen the show during these Debates.
But Why?
She has found center stage because she is not Bernie or Warren. No, she is the middle-aged person who votes for the Hillary’s, Bernie’s and Warren’s. This is why we are fascinated by her.

Outside of Hollywood, and some of our Thanksgiving dinners, we rarely get to see the face of the typical Democrat Voter. Now we see her loud and proud.  She is the Bill Clinton voter that none of us could figure out and now feigns revulsion over Trumps rock-star comments indicting women who condone a certain behavior from very rich men.
She would tell you she is not a Socialist, yet she votes for them. She will tell you she loves the poor, but she will promote the ideology that perpetuates and increases poverty. She will preach love while championing hatred of the individual via democratic serfdom.
That is Marianne Williamson.
Laugh at your own peril…
The Democrat Socialist Party in the United States is made up of three fundamental groups. First, are the most insidious who know the poison of Socialism yet long for the class stasis it institutionalizes.  These are the rich and self-assessed under appreciated academics. Second, are the petulant 12-year old ANTIFA Fascists who violently act out in order to tear down liberty and promote the control Socialism offers.  These are the children who cling to an idea that ‘fairness’ has a definition. Then you have the Useful idiots. These are the Marianne Williamson’s of the world. They have been nurtured and loved on by all of us because they’re family and they’re ‘cute’ and ‘nice’. They don’t bake the cupcakes, but they bring an expensive box from the trendiest bakery when you invite them over for a drink.  They are the Leo Buscaglia followers who think everyone just needs a hug. They are insipid.  We have dismissed these people for fifty years because they want to mean well.
So, she is right… she is not a New-Aged Nut-Case. New-Age Nut Cases are so 1990’s.
She is different, she is something similar but not quite the same because the world has moved on from EST and Yanni.

Instead…
She is not what she thinks she is. She is a composite, cartoon-like, imposter who sees herself as a harmless ‘everyman’.
She is Mrs. Peanut.  Not a nut at all… but we’re all are happy to call her that if it makes her happy.
If I didn’t know better I would swear she is a paid actor hired by someone at Trump Tower to supply a satirical edge to the Democrat Primary Debates.  (I’m holding out that this could ultimately be true.)
However, she is REAL… and you can’t look away.
No, she does not have a chance in Alinsky’s Utopia to be the Democrat Nominee. But that’s not the point. She is exactly the demographic/psychographic that has and will continue to vote the saccharine coated poison of socialism into power. She is frightening in her smiling smug ignorance because she has the money to send to the Warren’s of the world and she makes sure she is not downing her Xanax with a dark currant laden Cabernet on election day specifically so she makes it to the polls on time.
But what really hits home, we know her.  She exists in all of our families.
She is our ‘super-nice and well meaning’ train wreck we have watched speeding directly at us while we refused to step off the tracks… because that would be ‘mean’.
We have placated and even gushed over how ‘super-nice and well meaning’ she is if not horribly wrong… and we haven’t wanted to upset her, especially at Thanksgiving, by saying anything.  Her heart is in the right place!
She is our fault and we know it.
We just don’t want to admit it.

Well, Admit it.

What Spies Do…

(She got away with it.  She is above the law.  She… was… expected to run the country.)

(Update: The Question is finally being asked…)

(Update 082015:  This post was from March…  Why does it take six months (Now 20 months) to address the Large Points?)

There is a large point being missed with regard to the latest revelation of a U.S. Secretary of State creating, and using exclusively, an outside conduit of communication to their reports, and associates, within the Department of State.

Transparency.

When committing Espionage a Spy must find a way to communicate information without appearing to do so. This is not difficult to understand.

Hollywood might have you believe Spies find interesting little pieces of information and covertly send that information to the interested party of choice. But that’s the movies.  And, small amounts of information have lesser value than Huge Amounts of Information.  Seems self-evident.

If you want to be “The Most Transparent Administration, and State Department, in History!”, one way to achieve that is to give full access to…

(Well, when We The People hear that phrase repeated ad nauseam, we think the Administration is speaking to Us. It’s entirely possible the Administration was speaking to someone completely different. If that is the case, it would clear up the confusion We The People have when it comes to the supposed ‘Transparency’ of this current Administration.  It also begs the question ‘Who Else may have created their own “home-made” ISP upon which to communicate?’)

… other countries.

What better way to do the above than to create an entirely separate network that can easily be tapped into?

In other words, Creating a Method of Communication outside of Federally Protected Channels may extend well beyond the desire to avoid the Damned Prying Eyes of the ‘Stupid’ American Public’s FIOA requests.

It would certainly make it convenient for a Foreign Power to access and monitor all communications within that channel… without the Damned Prying Eyes of those tasked with protecting the Secrets and Security of the United States.

While those who created such a network would obviously deny such intent…

That question must be explored.

When it Looks like Espionage, Walks like Espionage and Talks like Espionage… it might just be Espionage.

Maybe the NSA can take a break from Spying on Us and re-task some folks to find out Who else was attached to Eric Hoteham’s ISP.   Any thoughts Mr. Pagliano or are you sticking with taking the fifth?

Just Say No…

…To Socialism.

If you’ve been with me for longer than 10 minutes, then you already realize I’m what you would call an Anti-Socialist.

While I have vast and varied views, first and foremost I stand in opposition to all forms of Socialist thought. You can call it whatever you want; Socialism, Liberalism, Leftist, Progressive, Fascist, Communist, Democrat, No Labels, Crony Capitalist, RINO, John McCain… or whatever new names they come up with to keep you confused.

Why do I oppose Socialism?  Why do I oppose a political theory that promotes Elitists exercising force over all those they deem inferior?  Why do I oppose an Ideology that has resulted in the greatest destruction to the common good, and ultimately the loss of life, in the history of the world?

I am a Free-Market Capitalist.

But what apparently sets me apart is I know what that means, which is more than I can said for the majority of our elected officials… and certainly more than our electorate.

(If you would like to join me in actually KNOWING what a Free-Market Capitalist is instead of allowing Leftists to tell you what they want you to think it is… here’s a good start:  Wealth of Nations, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, The Road to Serfdom, Freedom to Choose, The Romantic Manifesto, The Constitution of Liberty, The Age of Reason, The Law, Conflict of Visions… and the list can go on.  Come join us… it is rare air to breathe indeed.)

I will share with you, the people being demonized by the press are the people you must listen to carefully. (Actually listen to them… not whatever sound bite John Stewart or Bill Mahr decide to let you hear, followed by a studio audience of the above mentioned know nothings yucking it up and a laugh track from the fifties.)

The folks you will be told are Mean, Evil, Stupid and In the Way of your Happiness are the very individuals who, most likely, have the best interest of our amazing country at heart. And, they are the few deserving an honest, unedited, un-editorialized hearing of why they stand in opposition of more Socialism.

But let me get you started:

Socialism gets you Detroit.

Socialism gets you Mexico.

Socialism gets you Domestic Spying.

Socialism gets you incredibly horrible public schools.

Socialism gets you Unions who make promises to their members they know they can’t honor.

Socialism put’s your medical records out there for all to see.

Socialism gets you expensive, crappy health care.

Socialism gets you high taxes.

Socialism gets you high unemployment.

Socialism gets you Crony business deals.

Socialism gets a quadrupling of the money supply devaluing everything you’ve worked so hard to save.

Socialism spends your money with no consideration of reason or result, because it believes it owns the money… not you.

Socialism gets you National Debt so large you cannot possibly conceive it.  You literally can’t count that high… before you die of old age.

Socialism gets you racial hatred because without it, it dies.

Socialism gets you a bigger and bigger gap between the rich and poor, because it relies on that too.

Socialism puts self-anointed Elitist A-holes in power and keeps them there… forever.

Socialism is Force.

So the very least MY representatives can do IS NOT GET ALONG WITH SOCIALISTS.  AT ALL… EVER.

The very least MY representatives can do is say NO in the face of bigger government and more spending… or should I SAY WASTING MY MONEY.

The VERY LEAST my representatives can do IS STAND IN OPPOSITION to everything… every single thing… the Socialists want to do.

And, if they DO NOTHING ELSE… I will consider them to be doing a great job.

If they really want to impress me, then start taking apart 100 years of Socialist schemes which have not only stood in the way of this country being greater than it is, but has set it back on every level.  Doubt me?  Do you think the founding fathers would have asked the public to tolerate Domestic Spying after fighting a War in order to establish a new type of Government designed to protect the Individual, Their Freedom, Liberty and Property?  (There were plenty of “Terrorists” back then too.)

So I expect that 20% of the Republican Party who are about to be positioned as the worst people in the world… will do the right thing.

I expect them to be the Party of No!

NO!  NO!  NO!

It is the least they can do.  When I say “the least”, I mean the LEAST.

We Need Herpes!

Imagine…

…A world where Everyone had Herpes.

I learned from a friend of mine, who has this disease (“Disease” is such a derogatory term…), about a very close-knit, and intimate, community.  They communicate via the internet and have social functions, outdoor activities, share business leads, etc. etc.  It sounded charming…  Then something wonderful occurred to me.

If all of us had Herpes these folks could come out of the shadows, and we could live in a world of free love and unity!  Think about it… you cannot “run the risk” (such hateful words) of catching it when we all already have it.  In fact, we would make it a rite of passage to seek it out and embrace it, so to speak.  The inherent fairness makes my heart sing sweet wisdom.

We could do away with “treatments” as the stigma would be gone forever.  We all would understand each other because we would share a common experience every 30 days or so…  we would all be equal.  Beautiful!

So bring on the herpes for everyone!  Let true joy and equality reign!

Demand it!  Roll out the chants!

“We wont go… until We All can’t go!”

It’s gonna be Viral!

 

Sound stupid?  Then why do we act this way regarding Socialism?

And just like herpes, once you get it you can never get rid of it.

The only upside is Herpes has not killed over 100 Million Innocent people and counting… while oppressing and enslaving Hundreds of Millions more.

The DNC might want to put some Valtrex in the Gift Basket…

It doesn’t look like The Bern is going to go away.

But that’s what you get when you cheat.

Congratulations Hillary!

In case you missed last night’s official kick off of the Political Primary Season in New Hampshire, Hillary took home a YUUUUGE victory.
Mrs. Clinton won her demographic soundly! Bernie has to be reeling today.

Within voters 65-years old and Older, who make over $200,000.00 a year or More…
Hillary won BIG, BIG, BIG!

So let me be the first, here at Makeaneffort, to congratulate the spry, non-establishment, candidate Mrs. Clinton on walking away with the muscular affirmation from her Peers.

Way to Go Mrs. Clinton! Keep up the good work!

We Must Destroy the Village in Order to Save it.

Hillary Clinton’s New Economic Policy proposal designed for the good of All Americans…

Hillary Clinton has abandoned “It Takes a Village” for “We Must Destroy the Village in Order to Save it”.

The Full Exchange between the Two Socialists, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is Here.

Well, it worked in Vietnam.  Right Libs?

Do you Leftists ever see the hilarity in your rhetoric?

No.

Nor do they see the Irony…. Hypocrisy… or Sheer Stupidity.

Fozzy Bern say’s there’s a Difference…

Lenin would be smiling at Bernie Sanders’ attempt to draw a difference between Socialism and Democratic Socialism during the first Democratic Debate for President. For that matter even Stalin knew the benefit of putting a happy face on Socialism in order to draw more Useful Idiots to the cause.

But Bernie should be reminded that Vladimir Illych would have had Felix make Mr. Sanders quietly disappear had he made the same argument in private where it could be interpreted he actually meant it.

There is no difference between Socialism and Democratic Socialism.

For that matter… contrary to a number of articles I’ve had to suffer through as of late, written by the poorly educated and/or the simply useful, there are only minor differences between Socialism and Fascism. Yes Virginia, Nazi’s (National Democratic Socialists Party) are indeed the siblings of Democratic Socialists.

(And Yes you Liberal Leftist Progressive Fools… I know Stalin was not specifically funneling Jews into ovens. Instead, he busied himself burying three times the number of EVERYONE on the Steppes, just to make it ‘fair’. History is fun… if it were not so sad.)

Socialism is a Poison, whatever the flavor.

It’s a Poison that kills quickly or slowing depending on how much of it you take.  The Elitist A-holes that subscribe to it suckle at the teat of Western Capitalism, without which their countries would return to their Aristocratic and Monarchist roots. Without Capitalism, Socialism disappears, and the Blood of Kings would truly return. And Bernie, you wouldn’t be one of them… no matter how you like to dress up.

Even without the luxury of Holy Bloodlines, Socialism has killed over half a billion of its adherents… so far.

Speaking of Outdated Monarchies…

Bernie, regardless of what they do for their workers… your shining examples of Denmark, Norway and Sweden would never be able to survive as ‘Socialist’ countries if it were not for three very important things.

1. They live under the umbrella of NATO and do not have to field a military strong enough to defend themselves.
2. They have vast amounts of precious minerals which enjoy Global high demand.
3. Nobody wants to live there.

Capitalism provides them two of the above three.  Geographic ‘luck’ provides them with the third.

So No Bernie, we do not want to do what those countries do for their workers, because we cannot do what those countries do for their workers.

We’re too busy equipping, training and maintaining an Army to protect them, and too busy buying their rocks, to do so.

And Fozzy… people want to live Here.

So take your Happy Faced Socialism somewhere else.

We’re all Educated here.

Hillary Needs a Leftist.

(Update 062515: Enter Bernie Sanders.  So… may be a buffoon.)

Not a Buffoon.

Time for some plain talk here folks.

Hillary Clinton has lost her supposed claim to the Democrat Nomination for President of the United States.

It is clear to her, and those close to her, that she will face a Primary Challenge.  While this was obviously not hoped for as she would have saved vast sums of donor dollars which could be spent in the General Election facing, odds are, some Evil Republican MAN… (Note: White doesn’t matter this time. (Of course, neither can being Old.))

It just is what it is.

Enter Martin O’Malley.

The former Governor from Maryland will not pose much of a foil for Hillary’s attempt to appear ‘Centrist’ and ‘Reasonable’.  This guy will self-destruct prematurely.  As far as I’m concerned he’s already old news.

So…

How about Native American Liz Warren?  While the hairy, man-hater, clubs across the country would love, love, love to see Warren run, she’s also not serious enough to help Hillary fit into a Rational Pant Suit.  And besides… girl on girl primary fighting does not fluff the War on Women narrative Hillary will need to cling to during the General… when she’s running against, odds are, an Evil Republican MAN… (White Doesn’t matter this time.)

The name to watch?

Senator Jim Webb.

While Webb is guilty of writing some Odd Porn…

That’s about it.

The rest of his Progressive Leftist Resume is solid… for a Socialist.

Military Vet-Marine, former Secretary of the Navy, Author, Hates Bush (The former president), subscribes to the Individual being Forced to sacrifice to the Group, and… convinced he’s Smarter than You…  Perfect.  (Add to that the Odd Porn issue will most likely be considered a resume enhancement by Liberals.)

If Hillary is Hoping to assume the Presidency, she is going to have to come out of a serious Primary with a victory over a ‘serious’ opponent the likes of Webb.

Grab the popcorn.

And the beer.
