There Will Be A Reckoning

There Will Be A Reckoning

It seems that lately my life has been getting more complicated, and I want to thank those of you who are brave enough to still associate with me regardless of what I have become.

The following is a recap of my current identity:

I was born white, which makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which makes me a homophobe.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which makes me an infidel.

I am older than 55 and semi retired which makes me a useless old man.

I think and I reason; therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family; therefore I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which makes me anti-social.

I, and my friends, acquired a good education without student loans and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of odd underachiever.

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland by all citizens, which makes me a militarist.

Please help me come to terms with this, because I’m not sure who I am anymore!

And now I don’t know which bathroom to use anymore….

Regardless of age and identity, I will not back down, there will be a reckoning!

Up Is Down

Up Is Down

Let me get this straight. African Americans fought for decades to be considered equal with whites, live equally among whites, work equally with whites, and go to school equally with whites.

Now they get privileged access to college, employment, and business. They have bazillionaire athletes, musicians, and actors all due to this epic struggle according to Black America.

Fast forward to 2016 and now they don’t want anything to do with whitey. Well done Obama, race relations couldn’t be better.

A Massachusetts college allows students to reside in “identity-based” housing communities, provided they have a “unique social identity” that has “historically experienced oppression.”   here…

and this….

A group of students at the Claremont Colleges in search of a roommate insist that the roommate not be white.

Student Karé Ureña (PZ ’18) posted on Facebook that non-white students in need of housing arrangements should reach out to either her or two other students with whom she plans to live in an off-campus house. The post states that “POC [people of color] only” will be considered for this living opportunity. “I don’t want to live with any white folks,” Ureña added.

I think it’s passed time we give them what they want. They can have their own police force (The New Black Panthers) their own grievance council (Black Lives Matter) and their own politicians (Every Black Democratic Politician from Detroit, Chicago, and  Baltimore plus the Congressional Black Caucus), their own currency (with Kanye and Jayzee, and Beyoncee on it). Then give them their own city……ever seen Escape From New York?70810

Trophy Case Full Of Participation Trophies

Trophy Case Full Of Participation Trophies

The American ruling class now resembles that salon where oddly costumed people engage in elaborate ritualized competitions. Deeds mean nothing, because no one does anything in the conventional sense. Instead, status is achieved by accumulating credentials, occupying government positions and winning verbal jousts with the other members of the meritocracy. Barack Obama is in the White House entirely due to his ability to talk about doing stuff. The meritocracy admires him so much, because he is one of them.

It’s also why all sides of the chattering class are in a lather over Donald Trump. He is not a member of the talking class. For all his faults, he is a man, who does things. He has risen to the top of a rough and tumble field that only rewards doers, particularly doers who like risk. Every day of Trump’s life has been about winning deals and making things happen. While Barack Obama has a trophy case full of participation medals, Trump has a trophy room celebrating the buildings he has built and the casinos he started. He even has a trophy wife and a trophy ex-wife.

A guy like Trump, who lacks these verbal skills, is an easy target of mockery from the talking class. The coin of Trump’s realm has no value in the world of modern American politics. Guys like Trump are supposed to write checks and remain silent. In the view of the meritocracy, Trump is a crude vulgarian. He is poor in the things they value most, even though he is rich in deeds. To make matters worse, Trump seems to get this and take some pleasure in vexing these people. He does not respect them and they know it.

Trump’s stumbles in the game of words could very well unhorse him in the fight against someone’s wife. It’s why the talkers are so invested in his defeat. For most of them, it will be the only thing they have ever done.     here….

An Immoral Society

An Immoral Society

“Thirty years of Communist rule over America and what has our once great nation become? An immoral society that is unworthy of its military.  Civilians who demand freedom for free.  Politicians who promote peace and prosperity at no cost, an all-expense-paid life devoted to the pursuit of happiness. Politicians who refused to do their duty but now call on the military to fight foreign wars when their political ambitions are thereby served.  That is America today.”

— Mark Gimenez in his book “The Abduction”

Turn And Face The Change

Turn And Face The Change

I was watching the NFL Hall of Fame presentations and got a kick out of Kevin Greens speech. You can tell what kind of a character he is, (and has), from his playing days to his time coaching. He spent the last few minutes thanking law enforcement and the military. His dad was a Colonel in the Army and you can tell. You can watch the speech here, it’s worth it, especially the end.

Then I watched Eddie Debartalo. I always liked him and thought he got a raw deal In San Francisco when the NFL made him sale the team. Then, during his speech, he thanked Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein and the liberal mayor of San Francisco for their help after he purchased the 49ers. I was surprised, Eddie D. never struck me as a liberal. Things must have been different back in the ’70’s than they are now.

Against memory any present day moment usually pales as nostalgia takes its toll. Knowing the nostalgia effect you are prepared, at the least, to be disappointed. Feeling that the past is preferable to the present is a common human instinct. Revisiting old haunts you’re prepared to be disturbed. After all, you’ve read and heard about the degradation of San Francisco for a long time. That said, there’s nothing like a few people crapping on the sidewalk to remind you that the San Francisco of the present is probably past redemption absent another earthquake.

 

The extent to which the homeless, the hard-core unemployed, the drunk and the addicted, the whores of all three sexes, and battalions of shabby panhandlers infest San Francisco is something to bring even the most hard-core liberal from elsewhere up short. For decades myriad policies and millions man-years of effort funded with untold millions have only created a free-crap zone.  here….

Case Closed

Case Closed

Mooch is not happy that the house she occupies with her brood was built by slaves, ignoring the fact that her lifestyle is paid for by tax slaves who have as much say about her lifestyle as an actaul slave did his masters.

“It is time to end slavery all over again. It is time to free Michelle Obama’s taxpaying slaves.

The first step to ending slavery is to recognize its fundamental injustice. It is unjust that a working family ought to work its fingers to the bone so that Michelle Obama can enjoy yet another sightseeing tour. It is unjust that a class of parasites claiming to be public servants can draw unlimited amounts of money on the credit of people trying to make ends meet. It is unjust that Michelle Obama can own hundreds of millions of people as slaves. ”  Here….
