History and Future

History and future, what has been and what has yet to be.

Leftist, Marxist Communist, Socialist, progressives all concur on this point.  The march of history points to the inevitable triumph of a Progressive utopia.

But if a certain change is truly inevitable, why is it important for human agency to lend a hand, indeed to struggle mightily on its behalf? Here we turn to the critical matter of timing. While a change may be inevitable, the intervention of man can and will speed up this most desired of happenings. Man can function, in one of Marx’s favorite obstetrical metaphors, as a “midwife” of history.2 Man’s intervention could give the inevitable a helpful push.

Progressives in the west and especially in America have been very patient. They dedicate themselves to a cause even though they understand that they most likely were not going to be alive when final victory was achieved. It is their religion.

But will it really be so? Is Socialism a historical inevitability? Well if “the intervention of man” can speed it up then the intervention of man can stop or at least slow it down.

Obama care, which was intended to fail from its inception was to be a stepping stone to single payer. “Free” healthcare the best avenue for big government to place a dog collar around the necks of the people

Sadly, we have had at least three recent examples where one man might have changed the course of history, but they turned out to be cowards.

Former Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a “pro-life” democrat,  who in the past had voted with republicans against his party leadership. He even had a favorable rating from the NRA. But on Christmas Eve 2009 his vote was what put Obama care over the top.

Question, How many thousands of pages of the Obamacare bill were there that Congress had no time to read?

One Vote.  Party loyalty came first over his “principles”. He did not want to go down in history as the man who de-railed the first black presidents signature achievement and the goal of 100 years of “progressive” politics.

Next: Chief Justice John Roberts who decided that he did not want to go down in history as the man who de-railed the first black presidents signature achievement. He stated that the law was unconstitutional as written. So he took it upon himself to re-write it as a “tax”  which made it constitutional. That made it 5-4 siding with the leftist on the court. then he wrote both the majority and minority opinions.  Then he left town in a hurry.

I didn’t know that the Supreme Court was allowed to re-write legislation.

One vote Chief Justice Roberts did not want to go down in history as the man who de-railed the first black presidents signature achievement.

Finally we have the head of the F.B.I. James Comey.  who gave a laundry list of why Hillary Clinton should be indicted then weaseled out saying that they couldn’t find intent.  I guess that he did not want to go down in history as the one who indicted the potential first women president.

Hillary should be in prison for treason.

Update: Comey is perhaps trying to redeem himself, A revolt in the ranks of the F.B.I. may have persuaded him.

In Comey’s defense he is dealing with the most corrupt and politicized Justice Dept.  that country has ever known.

Three men who could have changed the course of history (or future) for the better. And they decided to take a pass.

Inevitability ??

A question to our Representatives in the Democrat party

 

Dear Patrick Leahy , Peter Welch,  Bernie Sanders, Peter Shulmin, unless your heads have been stuck up in a dark place for the past few weeks you’ve no doubt seen, heard or read about Project Veritas and the WikiLeaks emails exposing the absolute corruption of your political party.

Now I understand that Democrat party today is not the same party of 40-50 years ago. it has morphed in the kind of party that even Lenin would say was moving in the correct direction. It’s obviously very disciplined! The DNC. rigged the primary against Bernie. His campaign was doomed from the start.  Yet today he licks her shoes and tells everyone who supported had him to do the same. Well, Bernie is an old Bolshevik. He knows his place. Besides he just got a new dacha by the lake.

Pat Leahy is one of the most senior member of the U.S. Senate. He should have the same respect and is words should carry a lot of weight. All I can say is that Pat Leahy is no George  Akin, no” wise old owl”As far as I can see he doesn’t care or he doesn’t dare. Is anything beneath you Senator Leahy?

Peter Welch is still a relative newbe. He keeps his mouth shut. The house leaders are not called “whips” for nothing.

Our departing Governor was all in for Hillary from the start. Maybe he had inside information.

But then if they spoke out, actually agreeing with republicans and conservatives that their party is doing things that they would be screaming hole hell if republicans were engaged in this.  They might lose their next election. Such as it presently is in the Peoples Republic of Vermont.

They’ve sold their souls to the alter of progressivism.

As the late Uncle Walt would say, “and that’s the way it is”.

 

 

Trying to discuss issues with Liberals (It’s not easy)

One of the things I’ve noticed when trying to “discuss” the issues with liberals is the that it seems to me that they will steadfastly refuse to read any articles or blogs that does not agree with their liberal politics. I’ve tried to “encourage them to read blogs such as “American Thinker” , “Ace of Spades”, “Bookworm Room” etc.. Or to listen to a few programs of Rush Limbaugh or Andrew Willkow on Sirius XM. But I doubt that they ever do.

What they read instead are  the Times Argus/Free press, The New York Times, the New Yorker, Newsweek, Time, Esquire, National Geographic, the Smithsonian. What they watch is ABC,CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC ESPN and PBS.

If Yahoo is your home page to the internet then there you go. The progressive message is everywhere, being reinforced. Climate change, free healthcare, and of course political correctness.

It’s taught in our schools K to 12, and in practically every college.

Did I mention Hollywood, with it’s multi-millionaire celebrities who live in gated mansions with armed  security who tells us that we need to get rid of our guns, and to save the environment while they fly in private jets.

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, and Julian Assange’s  WikiLeaks E-mail releases show the corruption and outright criminality of the entire DNC which will leave nothing to chance in their effort to elect Hillary.

None of this seems to matter, either to Pat L. or  Peter W. loyal democrats all  or Bernie S. who got shafted but nonetheless bows down.

Do you remember a slogan going around years ago, question everything”, well for Libs the “science is settled. It’s easier not to question, and safer.

At my place of employment I’m acquainted with  two gentlemen who are very liberal.  They both supported Bernie for President. They both have misgivings about Hillary. but not enough it seems that they could vote for Trump.

They believe in open borders, and seem to have no problem with bringing in 100,000 refugees from the middle east. After all our government will have vetted them. It’s the right thing to do.

They have faith in Big government to be fair and just.

But I seem to be started to grate on one of them. The other day he call me a “far right winger”. I had offered to tell him about my blog and invited him to read it.   He refused, he wanted nothing to do with it.  He’s a good person but I doubt I’ll engage in political debate with him again.

I’m sure neither of them would ever stoop to listen to Rush.

This is what the sincerely believe, until someday they are mugged by reality.  And even then…

November 8th will be here soon. Then we will Know.

 

Remember, vote early and often.

From James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas

In a video released by Project Veritas, James O’Keefe exposes what everyone except Democrats have known to be true. There is a lot of voter fraud.

In the video, NYC Democratic Commissioner of the Board of Elections Alan Schulkin is caught on hidden camera at a United Federation of Teachers holiday party admitting that there is widespread voter fraud in New York City.

“Yeah, they should ask for your ID. I think there is a lot of voter fraud,” said Schulkin, who elaborated on the types of voter fraud that are taking place in New York.

Voter fraud has been labeled as a right-wing myth by the left, but Schulkin, a Democrat, confirmed everyone’s worst fears, going against the grain of his own party.

“You know, I don’t think it’s too much to ask somebody to show some kind of an ID…Like I say, people don’t realize, certain neighborhoods in particular they bus people around to vote,” said Schulkin

Read the whole thing and watch the video.

But remember, there is no “evidence” they keep telling us.

From Cut. Jib. Newsletter

A complete lowlife, then there’s Trump.

I will still pull the lever for Trump. The Republican Establishment can suck eggs.

Lest we forget, the media is a willing appendage of the Democrat-Leftist-Big Government regime. They obviously had this footage of Trump for months if not years; they could have released it during the primaries yet waited until a Friday, two days before a crucial debate. Plus, this footage was surreptitiously recorded without Mr. Trump’s knowledge. Compare and contrast with the Planned Parenthood body parts exposé, all but ignored by the media except to damn the reporters for their work and who now face prosecution; Billy Bush is, of course, an intrepid hero.

Read it all.

If he’d only known he’d be running for President, in 11 years

He would have kept his mouth shut.

One thing that any high profile person has to be aware of is that  every word that you utter  in what you think is a “private conversation” may be recorded in both audio or video.

He was on his way to do a “cameo” appearance on a soap opera.  He was with a TV reporter named Billy Bush  and neither realized they were being recorded.  Apparently  Mr. Bush (no relation to the other Bush’s) said some crude things also, as he has also apologized.

For 11 years this tape apparently sat on a shelf at NBC. Then someone remembered it and “leaked” it to the Washington Post.

It’s a fact of like that some men talking in private will say crude things about women. And regrettably some of them do much worse.

I suppose women talking in private “never” say crude things about men. Do they?

Everyone, media, Hillary, even the Republican establishment, is going to jump on this and keep it front and center.

On another note transcripts of Hillary’s secret speeches to Wall St. moguls have been released. The one’s she was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for.  One of things reported was she favors open borders for America.  What else has she told the bankers?

Of course the media will to their best to ignore this so they can concentrate on destroying Trump’s candidacy.

So it will come down to this,  do we turn the country over to perhaps the most corrupt politician in modern times. Destroy the country as we’ve known it.  A castrated Republican party that will give token opposition. Shred the Constitution and create ruling clique that will be above any law.

Hillary has broken many laws by action and omission aided by a thoroughly corrupt justice dept.

Trump had a misogynist potty mouth.

The voters will decide which is worse.

We get the government we deserve.

Post scrip

Though many will laugh at this (as was foretold) God’s Microphone and camera is always on us. Because of our depravity he had to take the punishment for us. Remember.

update: I was mistaken, Billy Bush is a cousin of Jeb and GWB.

And Democrats say voter fraud is a myth

Being dead does not mean you can’t still vote.

A Virginia Young Democrat working for a Democrat-aligned voter registration group got caught filing applications on behalf of dead people when he filed an application for a deceased World War II veteran who was known by a local clerk.

This is why they are so adamant  against voter I.D. laws, not only do they discriminate and discourage minorities from voting but also the deceased.

He had submitted a total of 19 applications for dead people.

He was immediately fired by his supervisor. Not for the deed, but because he got caught.

This is the tip of the iceberg, there is never just one cockroach.

Of course democrats just pooh-pooh it off.

Howell’s Democratic counterpart in the House said that since nobody cast a vote, “there was no voter fraud.”

First of all, there was no voter fraud—they caught him,” said House Minority Leader David Toscana. “Nobody cast a vote. There’s still no evidence of that going on in the state. But there is evidence every time you turn around that the Republicans are trying to make it more difficult for citizens to vote in elections.”

I guess that included “dead citizens” too.

 

A brilliant essay

From  “THe Political Hat”

It Doesn’t Affect You, But It Does
Posted on September 16, 2016 by The Political Hat
John Donne once said that “no man is an island”.  Society has evolved, does evolve, and will evolve, with the actions of each to one degree or another affecting it and being affected by it.  Society isn’t some abstract idea or social construct of the conspiratorial vein.  The libertarian ideal that everyone can do what they want and anything not affecting others in the strictest 1st degree will not have a depreciative or dilatory effect others, and thus society, is based upon a blind faith that the way, the truth, the light, of Randian enlightenment can not, and will not, be snuffed out a la Anthem because the choices of others does not, in the strictest 1st degree, command another.

Single payer, Yea that’s the ticket

British newspapers seem to be a lot more truthful then their American counterparts.  Even the most unabashed left wing paper The Guardian  won’t sugarcoat and spin the news like cotton candy.

Years of underfunding have left the service facing such “impossible” demands that without urgent extra investment in November’s autumn statement it will have to cut staff, bring in charges or introduce “draconian rationing” of treatment – all options that will provoke public disquiet, it says.”

Single payer is goal of the “progressives”. Obama care is collapsing as intended.  Obama wants “single payer”, Hillary wants “single payer, The “progressives” in Vermont does not want the State to wait on the Feds and be an example to the nation. Be the first State to adopt “single payer” health care.

Being that Vermont has one of the “oldest” populations in the nation, and already one of the highest taxed, and when it comes to health care there is never enough money. Perhaps society should simply cut you off at 75 as Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel explained in an American Thinker article .  Not everyone of course, as every progressive knows “some people are more equal the others”.  This is what can happen when you turn your healthcare over to your ‘benevolent” masters.

Or we could adopt “resolution”  and celebrate a life (hopefully) well lived and not be a “burden” to society, as shown in this episode of Star Trek ” Half a life”.

One of the first things Lenin did after the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917 (aside from killing the opposition as fast as they could) was to make healthcare “free” Once the government controls that they control you.

What’s the alternative you ask? Get the government out of healthcare. Allow insurance companies to compete, to write individual policies for people (i.e. catastrophic) that are portable, form pools for high risk individuals, promote health savings accounts and encourage people to take responsibility for their own health.

The choice is between being a free citizen or a farm animal.
