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Speaking of Outdated Monarchies…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.

The Ethnic Excuse

Paving the way for Taking Taiwan…

(Originally posted 030314)

Excusing a Nation’s Projection of Power in order to “protect” Ethnic Groups has been used since Force was invented.

In the United States we are told, repeatedly, that Ethnicity does not matter… yet we’ve abandoned the Supremacy of the Individual and actively Demonstrated Race Does matter in our Hiring, Higher education admissions and Legal practices every day.

So how can we see it as a Ridiculous Reason to Invade another country?

Ethnic and Racial differences remain ingrained in the “Enlightened” European mind.  Racism is rampant and accepted.  These are the very same Europeans we are told we must emulate by Our Progressive Elitist class of Politicians.  (Yes, I’m referring to John Kerry et al.)  The very Europeans whom we are told have it all figured out.  The very Europeans who are surprised that anti-Semitism is exhibited not from “the far right” but by everyday “Liberal” people.

But the most interesting aspect is They see this Excuse being used by Putin as Reasonable, even Logical.  Protecting One’s Racial Heritage is as common as Hating the Other person’s.

Of course, this leads to problems.  Very serious problems.  It always has.

Once You accept this Excuse for Force as valid, as a Certain Harvard Russian Studies Professor has… sadly, you must look and see Who’s in the On-Deck position.

The most Obvious?

Taiwan.

Followed by some other minor players… like Nepal, Moldova, Slovakia, the Baltic States, Quebec, South Korea, Kashmir, the list is endless…

I know, Canada wouldn’t be upset about Quebec.  They would probably welcome handing off the corruption and crumbling infrastructure to the French for while, until they gave up and handed it back.

But the point is We are Allowing a Precedent to be set.  How do you argue that National Sovereignty has any meaning when you fail to support those Nations you Promised to support should it be challenged?  We have already ceded an Ideological High Ground by sacrificing Ideology based on Freedom and Liberty of the Individual.  So What’s left?  Our Word?  What is that worth?

Nothing.

The Chinese Leadership are not stupid, they see clearly what is being illustrated by Putin’s efforts.

And I don’t find it a coincidence that Taiwan was not permitted to fly their flag during the Sochi Olympics.

Frankly, If I were sitting in Taiwan right now I’d be looking for the closest container vessel headed south.  Right Friggin’ now.

If you still don’t get it, it’s a 1936 redux.

Godwin’s Law be damned.

Hitler took most of Europe using the “We must Protect Ethnic Germans.” as his broadcasted excuse.  Actually he was stripping the resources of those countries for his own use… but that doesn’t Play in Peoria.  So he went with Uniting German’s.  Just sounds nicer.

We are not seeing anything New here.

And the latest Non-Aggression Pact between China and Russia simply assures both parties they will not have to reserve any troops for a second front.  It just makes things easier… having to worry about one less thing when you want to focus on taking stuff you think should be yours.

The question I have is why do we let Appeasers run our country?  (It’s a rhetorical question… They sound “nice” so we put them in charge.  It’s the “If we’re only more friendly” argument that passes for reason in the Visualize Whirled Peas circle.  It’s also an ongoing effort to repress the past lessons or attributing those events to lesser humans who happened to be in charge at the time.  This belief is often spoken in the words “That could never happen today.”)

What’s interesting is, it’s as if Putin’s Generals are saying “You know Vlad, That Austrian Guy with the silly mustache had it right… he just got in a hurry.”.  (There has been a question posed regarding Bush’s inaction on Putin’s invasion of Georgia and if that made Bush seem weak.  Yes.  It did.  But the question was offered up as moral relativity giving our current Administration’s inaction.  Sorry, but it was weakness on display under Bush just as it’s weakness on display under Obama.  It doesn’t matter who was displaying it.)

If I were leading what must now be considered only a “Resistance Movement” in Ukraine I would be finding every camera I could and begging as loudly as possible for U.S. and British help.  But it has become so fashionable for Europeans to blame their problems on the United States over the last several decades that it places them in an awkward position and makes it nearly impossible to overtly ask for our help.  Their ego may be their undoing.

This must come as a relief to the current Administration.

Those in charge will do anything to prevent the perception of this being an “East vs. West” thing.  And they will certainly not entertain anything as foolish as “Good vs. Evil”.

So What Do You Do when you pretty much agree with the Guy moving his troops across Europe?

We’re doing it.

We’ll be doing more of it as we watch Taiwan get “Protected”.

But of course, that could never happen today.

(I have intentionally used Race and Ethnicity interchangeably.  When it comes to the sacrifice of the Individual in favor of Balkanization they are the same thing.)

Very, Very Rare Praise…

If you have not seen the Leon Panetta Interview on O’Reilly dated 10/07/2014 you must. You Must.

I’m watching it Live… you will probably have to

Go find it.  NEVERMIND! 

HERE IT IS.

Go Now!

I realize Panetta is a Hillary supporter and all of this is to make room for Her run in 2016… but the level of discomfort during this interview is fantastic.

Fantastic!

GO FIND IT

and Watch.

 

Grab a Beer… and some Popcorn.

It is THAT good.

Crap Floats in the Ocean

And Apparently it also passes for News.

The search for Flight MH370 continues….

Considering the Ocean is littered with debris from hundreds of years… possibly longer, why does the sighting of it occupy the attention of the News Channels, Programs and Networks?

Is it Easier than tackling tougher Issues like:

The Soviet Invasion of Eastern Europe?

The NSA’s Domestic Spying and Keith Alexander’s latest Interview where he States unequivocally that not a single person at the NSA has done Anything Wrong… Ever… Not Once… except for those who did, those one times…?

The IRS targeting Political Opponents of the President?

The BATFE sending Weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels in an effort to create a Case for more Domestic Gun Control?

The Skyrocketing Debt and the Fiscal Malfeasance it Represents?

The fact that Keynesian Economics has Not Lead to the Economic Recovery the Leftists in our Government Promised it Would?

The Destruction of the Greatest Health Care System in the World because Progressives want Control over the 6th of the Economy the didn’t have before?

The Utter Betrayal by our Elected Representatives to Look Out for the People by taking the time to actually Read Legislation before voting for it?

The TSA wanting to Establish Itself as a Federally Sanctioned Domestic Police Force by Arming it’s Agents?

The Federal Government wanting to Secure the ability to decide Who is and Who isn’t a “Journalist” in order to control the only Private Entity with the Resources Capable of Maintaining a Cynical Eye on Their Behavior?

The DOJ refusing to prosecute voting illegalities because they just don’t agree with the Law?

The DHS even Existing when We already have the FBI and the CIA which were designed to be separate for very, very, very good reasons?

The Executive Branch unilaterally creating Law extra-Constitutionally?

The Un-accountability associated with a Specific Past Senator and Specific Past Congressman when they sat atop the effort to Collapse the United States Financial System?

I could go on….

But these Mysteries don’t require cloudy satellite pictures of lightly colored blobs with which a Dedicated Journalist can Follow a “Breaking News” graphic.

So I’ll just stay drunk and stop asking questions.  Flying Monkeys did it anyway…

Is Russia Accusing US of Having a Foreign Policy?

How Dare Them!  Who do They think They are?

If so, I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!

Frankly,

Someone should check the accounts of Organizing For America and see if they have accepted a paid position From Vladimir Putin.

This latest Flurry of remarks from Russia sounds so Familiar.

We already know that Ketchum is on the payroll…

So why the Consternation over What Vlad is saying about The United States and Specifically President Obama?

The Rhetoric is the same we’ve heard over the last decade from Our Homegrown Leftists Who are Now in Control.

Why is Putin a “Bad Guy” for simply repeating it?

Is it his pointing out that the Stated Goal of The Obama Administration to reduce Influence of The U.S. on the World Stage has been Achieved?  (It’s worth noting this genuine Achievement stands alone for this Administration.)

Could it be that Putin knows the President of The United States is “thin-skinned”?  Is that why Putin’s use of “Prankster”, the Russian equivalent of “Silly Goose”, to describe Obama makes news?

Is it stunning that a Socialist would goad an external Enemy in order to Win Points with his Population?

Is it Really a surprise to have a Dictator use an Enemy’s own words to illustrate Their hypocrisy?

When you live in a World of Say Anything… and You’re rewarded for it… with Elected Office…

When Words matter more than Actions…

When you and your Enemies don’t really disagree on Anything… Except Who’s in Control…

And When You’ve made it Your Stated Mission to Not Be In Control…

What Do You Expect?

What Do We Expect?

(If not much else but Tanks… The Russians do have Century Old Brilliance when it comes to Writers.  Their Literature stands up to the Best The World has to offer.  Do not think for One Moment that Putin is a Fool.  He is not.  I would bet that if You compared the bookcases of Putin and Obama you would not be surprised… or be forced make up excuses.  If you’re going to Be a Hypocrite what grounds do you have to become Upset when someone points it out?  Or is That Too a Double Standard where only certain people can, and Other’s can’t.  “It’s an American Thing… You wouldn’t Understand.”  and No, It doesn’t matter how many “American Friends” you have.  Hear the Dog Whistle?)

Putin knows exactly What he is Doing.

Obama has Opened Himself Up to Putin’s Accusations through years of “Just Words”…  The Fact That Putin is doing exactly what he is accusing Obama of Doing makes complete sense.  If you don’t get it whip out your trusty copy of The Prince.  Read it on your own time.  A Dictator doing Dictator things should never be a surprise… yet it seems to be just that to Our elected Officials.

But There IS a Reason for this Consternation.  When Diplomats are put in charge they believe “rules” matter to everyone else the way they matter to them.  They believe Words and Feelings mean something.  They believe Everyone just wants to get along… to Compromise… to Work Together… They deny reality.

All of this should serve as a Wake-Up Call.

What Do We Stand For?

What are the Differences between Us and Them?

What exactly is American Exceptionalism and Why do We not seem to Know?

We are not just Weak… We are unable.

Just Concede!

This is the new Slogan for United States Foreign Policy…

and now Domestic Policy as well.

Apparently what limited effectiveness being demonstrated on the Border, just as overseas, had to be addressed.

So the Current Administration has handed down new rules dictating how our Border Patrol must conduct themselves.

From this day Forward! Border Patrol officers must retreat when faced with suspects throwing rocks.  The Officers will no longer be allowed to defend themselves.

It seems Border Patrol Agents have become too effective at deterring individuals who wish to travel to this country without entering legally…  In the simplest terms, Border Enforcement has been oppressing those who are seeking Amnesty here in the United States.

You might be saying to yourself “… this is ridiculous.”,  Among other things.

I would offer, It makes Complete Sense.

When you’re dealing with an extremely Complicated World having different policies for issues that arise Overseas versus those issues which occur right here at home is Counterproductive.  Not only that, It’s difficult, hard to manage and exhausting.  In fact, it can lead to Vast Confusion… even a break down in Morale.

In order to offer a happy, safe and nurturing workplace for U.S. Domestic Military the Administration has decided to make sure the Rules are Consistent, Transparent and Known by all.  And, they would only subject to change, without notice, by Administration Officials occasionally.  Above all, Consistency is the most important Policy Goal… unless determined otherwise.

Promoting a Friendly Border, just like our current Promotion of a Friendly Europe and South America, is incredibly important.  So the Replication of U.S. Foreign Policy within our National Borders is logical and will be Warmly Welcomed, once Those effected understand the Benefits.  The result, and implementation period, of this Improvement should mirror the Enormous Successes experienced with the Affordable Care Act.

It is Exactly this type of Progressive Thinking which will lead the United States into the 20th Century and elevates our status among Nations.  It is also this type of Mindset which will accelerate the realization of The New American Man.

Just Concede!

It’s more than a Slogan, it’s more than A Way of Life, it’s more than the Right Thing to Do…

It’s the New Normal!

You’ll get used to it, or not.

It Doesn’t Really Matter!
