Biden Voters: Own Your Failure

 Yesterday, at Townhall.com Kurt Schlichter had a piece entitled Own Your Failure Biden Voters. Schlichter is not wrong. Even if you allow that Biden voters didn't really win the election, that the stole the election form Trump voters, one still has to put the blame on those who thought putting a doddering demented old man into what has been desribed as the most challenging job in the world.

I will admit my own relatively minor failure: I voted for invertebrate-con Mitt Romney in 2012 and have spent the last nine years regretting it, but now I look at the saps who checked the box for that crusty old pervert who’s busy flushing our country down the crapper and I feel really bad for them. Well, at least for those Biden voters who weren’t dead when they cast their ballots.

They thought that mean tweets and dating Playboy models was so outrageously awful that they needed to exchange him for a half-wit plagiarist with busy hands and a slothful mind. He was no prize before he put the “d” in “dementia.” Prior to allegedly being elected president, this dork was, as Democrat Robert Gates famously put it, “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." The same genius who thought capping Bin Ladin was a bad idea also thought ditching Bagram was a good one. Well, at least he’s consistent.

Look around, at the $5 gas and the hobos pooping in our parks, at the constantly shifting vaccine/mask goalposts and the cat ladies/public school teachers determined to inject Ibram X. Kendian race hustling into your kids’ cerebellums. Look at the flag-draped caskets coming off the planes at Dover.

You did that, non-dead Biden voters.

You.

This is your failure.

Own it.

Schlichter brings up the unseriousness of the electorate, or at least the half that votes for Biden. This shows the consequences of the hubris and narcissism of people who want to vote for someone they believe, quite without evidence, "cares" for them.  Biden cares...except he doesn't.  But the Democrats care, right?  Except they don't either.  But one shouldn't be voting on the basis of one's emotions. Rather, one should vote on his or her perceived best interests, which requires thought.

For the elite, Trump was a threat to their gravy train and an utterly intolerable insult to their puffed-up self-image. Trump saw the scam clearly because he was of them – he hung out with the elite all his life, and he took pleasure at their pathetic groveling for dollars. But while he sometimes gave them money, he did not give them respect, because he knew they deserve none and he was incapable of pretending that they did. They had to destroy him, and his entire presidency was consumed with demonstrably false pseudo-controversies from the fake Russia nonsense to the fake Ukraine nonsense to the fake insurrection nonsense.

...snip...

But the regular people who voted against him – that’s a different story, because they voted against their interests. The economy was humming, and even after the elite’s Chi Com comrades inflicted the pangolin pandemic on us, we were coming back. We were energy independent. The border was getting secure. Taxes got cut. Soleimani was a cinder and ISIS was a skid mark. We had no new wars, and the one in Afghanistan was set to end without a live production of Miss Saigon II: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Airbases.

But then there were those mean tweets, those awful mean tweets. And all the racism and sexism and homophobia and more racism and … well, there wasn’t any of that but there still had to be some because, well, you know, reasons. So, a bunch of people voted for “normality,” which really meant the absence of a perpetual media-fueled ruling class tantrum at the uppity upstart backed by all those red-hatted flag/gun/Jesus people from West Dakota and South Virginia and that other state with all the corn.

Why We Have Become Unserious

 Ever since I stumbled upon the idea that our nation has become an unserious parody of itself, I have wondered what in the hell happened.  Why do we believe, against all evidence to the contrary that men can give birth?  Why does at least half of the population believe that mask prevent the spread of a respiratory virus, when science shows that it isn't so?  Why are so many companies, and even our military going "woke?"  Why do many believe in the childish notion that wishing something makes it real?

Well, here to tell us why is Rob Jenkins in an article at the American Thinker entitled A Baby Boomer Explains What's Wrong With Millenials. And what he explains is that many, not all, but many have simply failed to grow up. Further, it is ultimately our fault. We did not insist, in many cases, on giving our children the hard lessons that only real world consequences can teach. Many of us opted for the so called "kinder gentler" Dr. Spock methods that produce spoiled brats rather than strong upstanding citizens.

If you're over 50, you might remember occasionally seeing small children throw temper tantrums in public, 25 or 30 years ago, and wondering what those kids would be like when they grew up.

Well, now you know.

The problem is twofold. First, we Baby Boomers raised a generation of selfish, entitled brats. (I do not include my own children in that description, and if that seems hypocritical and self-serving — well, you don't know my kids.)

Second, in their entitled brattiness, an alarming percentage of that generation — the Millennials — has embraced socialism.

That's a disaster for this country because socialism is not just an evil ideology, although it is that — responsible, in its various iterations (including communism and fascism) for somewhere in the neighborhood of 110 million murders just in the last century or so. Nor is it merely an absurd economic system, although it is that, too, ignoring the immutable law of supply and demand as well as basic human nature.

On its surface, of course, socialism is indeed a vile, evil ideology. It is chidish in its simplicity, offering that society, in the form of the State can supply every need. Of course, no government established on this ideology, has kept a single promise. The real goal of socialism is to lock power into the hands of a few. We used to understand these things.

CRT Is Warmed Over Nazi Jew Hatred

 If you have been horrified by the seemingly sudden emergence of Critical Race Theory (CRT), please read further.  CRT is in our schools, and teachers are apparently willing to spread it even in the face of protest by parent groups, and in the face of bans by legislatures and governors.  Oh, and how have these people been hired.  They are clearly not qualified to teach our young.  We are told that this is just a theory being discussed among academics.  Calm down we are told.  Well, not so fast.

It turns out that CRT is just a more organized version of the what the Nazi government of Germany did to the Jews during World War II.  We may not have connected the dots, but we instinctively understood what was happening.  But L. K. Samuels did connect the dots for us at the American Thinker in an article entitled The Surprising Origins Of Critical Race Theory. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been cited as an offshoot of Karl Marx’s theory of class struggle, which was designed to pit one class against another so as to foment worker-led revolutions. It is also widely accepted that the Marxian Frankfurt School in Germany reworked Marx’s “social conflict theory” in the 1950s by adding “race” to their long list of “oppressed” minorities. But historically, the Frankfurt School theorists were latecomers to the racial theory table. They were not the originators of Critical Race Theory. A revolutionary socialist movement had already existed decades before in Germany. These racial justice warriors sought to pit one race against another and encourage the oppressed to overthrow the oppressor. They called themselves German National Socialists.

Note that "Nazi" is an acronym for National Socialist Workers Party.

To demean the so-called “Jewish oppressors,” the National Socialists taught German children that the Jews, Jewish-run banks, and capitalists were persecuting the German nation and its people. This “oppressor versus oppressed” narrative is pure classical Marxism, which had devastating effects across the annals of modern history. Such racist nonsense divides society, creating hostile tribalism and unending ethnic violence.

Does any of this sound familiar. Keep reading Samuels article. The similarities between what the Nazis did in the 1930s and 1940s, and what is happening here now are stunning.  As I said, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Please go read the whole article, and get active.  CRT is a major part of the plot to "transform" America.

We have become a manifestly unserious country

At The Federalist Casey Chalk has a post entitled Dear Leftist Wanting To Dismantle Power Structures: Let's Start With Yours.

America needs to dismantle its power structures, say woke activists, repeating a theme that has become ubiquitous across American identity politics. So-called anti-racists seek to upend so-called systemic racism. Those promoting radical sexual confusion aim to subvert heteronormativity and the patriarchy. Some revolutionaries deride the nuclear family as “Western-prescribed.” All of these institutions, these activists assert, must be deconstructed and rebuilt according to the tenets of woke leftism. Yet these same people seem curiously oblivious to other power structures — namely, those that serve to promote their ideology. If there are power structures that need dismantling, perhaps we should take a page from the ideologue playbook and target the very institutions that inculcate and advance their causes. Peter W. Wood highlights many of them in his new book, “Wrath: American Enraged.”

We have become a manifestly unserious country.

We Will Not comply With Medical Tyranny

 I have to run today, but I wanted to highlight a piece at the American Thinker today by Thomas D. Siler, MD entitled The Bad And The Ugly About Covid In America. In case you didn't read it yet, the "Good News" about Covid was published earlier and is linked in the first paragraph. Please go read the "Bad and Ugly" and especially the linked article at the bottom to We Will Not Comply With Medical Tyranny by Brandon Smith. Here's a taste:

The mainstream media has consistently attacked the claim that governments would enforce vaccine passports as conspiracy theory. Now they are openly admitting that the plan is to institute vaccine passports and they are vigorously defending it. They are discussing with avid fervor how they might be able to FORCE or compel each and every person to take the jab, even if they don’t want it and even if the jab serves no purpose.

I have my own suspicions of the jab and its true purpose and safety, but lets not forget that the jab is at the very least a stepping stone to the vaccine passports. The passports are the key to everything. Without the passports, medical tyranny cannot be established. Without the passports they have no leverage over the population to dictate the fundamental aspects of our lives. They NEED the passports in order to get their “Great Reset”. Without a “papers please” social credit system in place, their Reset will fall apart.

It is therefore imperative above all else that the vaccine passports are never allowed to take root. The program must be stopped and destroyed.

If each of us throws just a little sand in the machine whenever we think we can get away with it, sooner or later the machine will come grinding to a halt.

Just Because You Are Paranoid Doesn't Mean No One Is Out to Get You

 I have three today, all at the American Thinker. They all deal, in one way or another with our basic freedoms and liberties, and the manipulations that seek to take those away.

The first is a post Tom Mayer entitled Sometimes there really is a conspiracy to theorize about. Mayer goes on to list a remarkable number of things that arguably are more easily explained by a conspiracy than by random events lining up just so.

Is it really more plausible that the media are acting separately but identically or that they are colluding among themselves and with the Democrats and the Deep State? That their simultaneous and identical takes on everything are just due to similar viewpoints and not highly coordinated messages of the day?

I have heard that the oft quoted "talking points memo" is in fact a real thing. One supposes that if the Democrats have one, that the Republicans do too? If not, why not? But Mayer has more, and some of them get quite pointed.

Is it really plausible that nations around the world keep ratcheting up the tyranny as they independently determine it to be the best course of action? Or does it seem much more likely that each is part of a larger plan, sequenced for maximum effect?

Or this

Is it really more plausible that the American people never get what they want from their leaders because they are bad at picking them or that there really is no choice because elections are compromised and much of the nation's leadership is either corrupt or being blackmailed and threatened?

Is it really probable that significant numbers of leaders take positions on issues they know are unpopular with their own constituents due to conviction and principles, however flawed? Or is it at least as likely that they are told to do so and know that that they will be taken care of if they lose their positions?

Why is it that on the important issues, especially immigration, the path of least resistance for the politicians is always to betray the people? Does anyone believe that five states independently and without consultation decided to stop counting votes at about the same time on election night?

Lindsay Graham is a classic example of someone who constantly disappoints, stabbing conservatives who elected them in the back. When he needed to, he became suddenly the conservative lion, expressing outrage at Democrats attempts to keep Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh off the court. But now that he is re-elected, he has been the only Republican voting for Leftist judges to Federal courts. What do you think?

Steve Apfel explains why we are so easily bullied into accepting our loss of freedom in Why we succumb to micro control over our lives. Everyone must calculate at every moment of every day the risks to our own lives and those under our care. This very weakness is what makes people vulnerable to what I call "scare porn." It has proved to be an extremely effective during the pandemic. I can not tell you how many people I have encountered who were truly scared stiff.

It took a pandemic to learn that human frailties are infinite. North and south, east and west, people of every hue and culture found liberty to be a burden and safety an abiding obsession. It opened the door for authorities to step in with regulations that make material for stand-up comedy.

In effect, we barter liberty in return for some safety. In this give-and-take, a plumber and a professor act with one instinct, as do a rap artist and a rabbi. People may barter the two at different rates, yet all consent to exchange liberty for safety.

...snip...

Enter politicians and their technocrats, salivating over power that dropped in their laps like too ripe fruit. By overselling a peril, they can manipulate the barter price of freedom for safety. To be saved from dreaded Covid, we, the fear-ridden, are prepared to surrender a lot of freedom for what in reality is not a big external danger. If manipulators can make the virus into a threat as big as war, all the better. War is to a tyrant as milk is to a suckling goat.

So, we half beg to be less free to make us feel “more safe.” Covid-19 came as a God-send to the power-hungry and the money-mad. Gollum in Lord of the Rings went into paroxysms of rage at the idea of letting go of a ring that could tame mankind.

Does this fit a pattern that looks like a random series of events, or does it strike you as a conspiracy?  When it happens once, even twice, I can believe that it is random. When it happens in multiple countries, I begin to feel it may be another conspiracy.

Interestingly, those who have been using fear porn to scare the public into submission believe they can openly flout our liberties and freedom. Frank Liberato has an article entitled Democrats Aren't Even Bothering To Hide Their Wrongdoing.

Thanks to the news out of Afghanistan, Jen Psaki’s recent admission that the executive branch has been colluding with the tech giants to suppress free speech, has apparently passed into the ether with far less scrutiny than it deserves. In fact, this is such a clear violation of the First Amendment that it defies any obvious logic or rationale. But Psaki’s announcement isn’t the first act in this play; it’s only the most recent act in the left’s years-long flouting of the rule of law.

A friend recently speculated that the disaster that is the Afghanistan withdrawal might just be a setup to distract us from what they are doing elsewhere.  This is, of course, a conspiracy theory.  But as the old saying goes, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean no one is out to get you.  More and more, it appears to be true.   

Our Garbage Elites

 I did not know about Gary Allen's book titled None Dare Call It Conspiracy. It was published in 1972. In 1972, I was a snot nosed 20 year old who thought I knew a thing or two. Boy was I wrong. Had I known about Allen's book, a lot of the questions I have had over the years would have been answered.

Today, at the American Thinker Janet Levy has an article entitled None Dare Call It Conspiracy that again explains the apparent contradictions in the nature of Communism. Once you see it, though, you can't unsee it.

What Allen claimed to have discovered was that a plutocracy of 3% of the population covertly controlled the lives of the rest. They had wrested control of the constitutional republic, with its separation of powers, limited government, and competitive free enterprise, and turned it into a system of centralized control by a few. How was this achieved? According to Allen, the conspiratorial clique was hidden and protected by a complicit media establishment they own and control. Also, they are accomplished liars and farseeing planners. Their subversive tour de force has been to advance the lies that a) communism is inevitable and b) communism is a movement of the downtrodden. The first lie aims to destroy the will to fight, the second to gain the support of the poor masses and justify the destruction of a vigorous, innovative middle class.

Allen offers an alternative, realistic definition of communism: an international conspiratorial drive for power on part of men in high places, who are willing to use any means for global conquest. In The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels said a proletarian revolution would necessitate a temporary socialist dictatorship, which would give way to full-on communism if three things were achieved: a) the elimination of private property rights, b) the dissolution of the family, and c) the replacement of religion with Marxist ideology. These, in fact, are exactly what academia and left-wing groups in America are pushing for, today and when Allen wrote the book.

But all that, as Allen claims, is an elaborate ruse. Behind it are the super-rich. We are blinded to this because we believe they stand to lose the most in a socialistic setup. Allen backs his counterintuitive conclusion with the fact that communist countries are in fact always ruled by an oligarchical group — the nomenklatura — that controls wealth, production, and the lives of the rest of the population. Thus, socialism is a movement to consolidate wealth in the hands of a few, creating not a classless society, but one with just two classes: an elite and a proletariat, with no middle class.

Right now we are rapidly becoming a Fascist state, if we haven't already become one. When the government asks corporations to treat the unvaccinated as unclean pariahs as a way to force people to get vaccinated, that is exactly how the Fascists acted. In Germany, it wasn't the unvaccinated, but the Jews. In Soviet Russia, it was the Kulaks. Every Communist/Fascist elite needs an enemy, and when they don't have one, they manufacture one. In this case, the pandemic has given them the excuse to demonize the unvaccinated. But understand that asking corporations to do what the government can, or will not, is Unconstitutional.  They are shredding the Constitution.

As proof of the truth of Allen's book he presents us with this:

According to Allen's research, the USSR was practically manufactured by the U.S. elite, who played a major role in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. He quotes W. Averell Harriman, who served as ambassador to the USSR from 1943 to 1945, as saying, "Stalin paid tribute to the assistance rendered by the United States to Soviet industry before and during the war. He said that about two-thirds of all the large industrial enterprises in the Soviet Union had been built with United States help or technical assistance." Allen explains how financiers in America and Britain created an enemy for the West. He divulges how Kuhn, Loeb & Co., an important financial house of New York then, even financed the First Five-Year Plan of the Soviet Union. Through these means, plutocrats gained a geographic homeland from which to launch assaults against other nations of the world.

This sounds a lot like what reportedly happen in Afganistan, where we were funding the Taliban to fight our own military. Of course, the only reason is that they can enrich themselves with war contracts at taxpayer expense.

As noted before: As always, only the well-armed rabble are left to hold the line.
