Thoughts & Words (Ever More Conditioned for a Civil Society)

IF YOU DON’T CARE…HE SURE AS HELL DOESN’T…WAKE UP!!!

Media Matters As PC Language Police

‘Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we’re not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead.

Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there’s no reason or excuse for committing thoughtcrime. It’s merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won’t be any need even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak,’ he added with a sort of mystical satisfaction. ‘Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?’—Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell (Source)

The Narrative (Multi-Demensional Assault on Our Culture via The Frankfurt School)

While perusing the always amazing Pundit and Pundette, I came across this wonderfully concise explanation of the machinations of the Left. I think there is much more here to be fleshed out by deeper thinkers than me. However, this brief (13 minutes of clarity) clip is a must view. It put into words that multi front attack I always sense but could never explain. The Frankfurt School and Critical Theory led to Political Correctness and our cultures brainwashing conformity, self hate and sense of guilt.

‘Emergency Champagne’ (When The PC Onslaught Is So Invasive)

Sebastian Gray at Hillbuzz provides the perfect description of PC indoctrination and reinforcement within our school systems. The sense of entitlement from elementary schools thru grad schools…this cancer is similar to non-hodgkins…temporarily treatable but not often curable. It does not bode well. 

Once The Flood Waters Recede (Do We Really Know How To Rebuild)

As with most of you, daily life is either routine, repetitive or like mine right now, filled with the stresses of illness, grief and an overwhelming sense of anger. Internalized anger, not smash face anger. Sometimes, I believe blogging and reading the output of others is a negative influence. Sometimes, I bite on the concept of all this banter is good give and take of Democracy suited only for those tough enough to dish out and get it back in the face. But, as I read Leftist Blogs and note their repetitively produced lies and propaganda points, and I notice that the Right is presently floundering with tired ideas. Our values have been denigrated to such a degree that the words seem empty. It probably was the intent of the manipulators to repeatedly throw mud, knowing it eventually weighs down the opposition and smothers the life out of even the best life forms.

I believe we are being smothered and relegated to the fringes. My question is….If right now, we assumed power, would we know how to undo the mess and rebuild? According to what? It is an entwined mess that has resulted under the watch of both parties and philosophies. I do not care for global this and that…yet there it is in all its complicated mess.

I bandy about the words ‘liberty’ ‘freedom’ like obvious touchstones of reality that anyone should comprehend…yet a huge chunk of our society casually voted away their freedom with an obvious Marxist. The other chunk allowed a empty vessel like McCain to carry the Repub banner and how bland and pathetic was that? 

Would or will we know how to coalesce into a meaningful party or platform. Right now we simply point at the rising waters and wring our hands. I understand that. But, I feel devoid of any meaningful concepts to rebuild and I have ZERO faith in most of the Repub’s as anything but RINO’s and NEO’s that got us into this mess. 

The inclination is to retreat to the bunker with my kin and my armaments and adopt the “Don’t Tread on Me” attitude. I pretty much am there. I am not a leader, not a very good follower. I see both sides, all sides, scary and empty of values that would stave off this slide to the abyss. Look how easy it seems to happen. 

A recent commenter to here remarked that the Repub’s are the party of ‘No’. I recanted that that was good. Yes, saying No to Socialism or worse is a good thing. However, a common sense voice(s) has to emerge to rephrase the principles as a yardstick or level to compare to. Things are askew…here is the comparison to move toward, to restructure. I no longer trust any side in D.C. The suits are slimy and corrupt. My populist-rural genetics have emerged and my resentments have no where to go but toward the takers and the dumbstruck.     

 In the meantime, I will seek some iron in my blood via others that have energy and heart and pray that some structure re-emerges that is not a compromise with corruption.    

 “The GIVE Act was stealthily modified during the House debate — not in substance, but in terminology. Even so, the nomenclature is Orwellian and ominous. Given President Obama’s bizarre promise to create a “civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as our military,” the GIVE act appears to be a precursor to that type of internal security force.

Lock 'n Load

 

 

GIVE creates a “National Civilian Community Corps” and establishes a “Permanent Cadre” which will “give consideration to retired, discharged, and other inactive members and former members of the Armed Forces.”

Furthermore, “The Director shall give priority to projects utilizing retired military and emergency professionals for programs to improve public safety, emergency and disaster preparedness, relief, and recovery, search and rescue, and homeland security efforts.”

Specifically mentioned are programs “that strengthen community efforts in support of homeland security“; in other words, ACORN. Thus, both the House and Senate bills are designed to funnel money to a semi-militarized wing of the Democrat Party. ACORN appears to be at the center of this wing.”   http://www.punditandpundette.com/2009/03/appalling-acorn-to-receive-billions.html

 This should scare you…probably it does. But, what to do? No msm comments. No neutered Repub’s remarking because they would be cast as racists or “No” sayers to positive change. These changes are so rediculously threatening to liberty. A para military organization beyond the National Guard, the Army Reserve, the police, the military….linked to Community Organizers and a hyper responsive email tree? Well, perhaps they could be allocated as an emergency response team to fill sandbags, shovel snow, remove hurricane debris, fight forest fires, rebuild homes, hand out food, clothing, provide medical attention, clean up urban filth (most of that wouldn’t impact unions, right?).  How do so many Congressmen fall into this with nary a reconsideration of possibilities or precedents?

WWII Nose Art (A little visual comfort)

I find the ‘nose art’ to be an interesting mix of different energies: war, bombs, machine gunners, artists, sex, machismo, political correctness, linking sex to vanquishing (killing). The art runs the gamut from the amateur to the very sophisticated air brushing. I am no expert, I just find it interesting and how it has evolved. We worry about a bad image on our planes, an odd concern given the intent, the risks, the purpose.

NO! to Islamification in U.S. (No Coexist BS with Jihadist or CAIR) Resist! Grow A Set!

Listen To Those That Have Seen The Results of PC and The Insidious Creep of Intimidation and Timidity. It is not far flung yet. The framework via CAIR is being established. The sense of mainstream is being established. The trite Coexist mantra will be extended to Islam but not to Christians. Accomodations will be made for Islam, but no one else. When the time comes to call BS on this assault of values, then stand strong. Resist the Name calling and Group Think Bashing toward you. Resist! They are using our system, out rights against us.

“A big part of the reason for this dismaying American response to the cartoon affair is, of course, that Islamization hasn’t progressed as far in America as in Europe, and there’s consequently an incredible level of ignorance in America both about what’s really going on in Europe and about the very nature of Islam. In the current presidential campaign, only a small portion of the electorate seems to think that the war with jihadist Islam is a major issue. The one candidate who understood best what we’re up against, and who took it most seriously, Rudy Giuliani, was ridiculed across the political spectrum for being obsessed with 9/11 — as if the events of that day had been some kind of fluke or accident that has virtually no meaning for us today.

In depressing numbers, in short, Americans seem not to grasp the lessons of 9/11 — which should hardly be a surprise, considering how many journalists and politicians keep repeating that the terrorists are betraying a great and peaceful religion, that jihad means doing good works, and so on. A while back, in response to rumors that Barack Obama is a closet Muslim, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof argued that it would be a matter of utter indifference if the president of the United States were a Muslim. Of the hundreds of people who commented on this article on the Times website, the overwhelming majority applauded Kristof for his extraordinary courage in standing up to Islamophobia. Only a tiny handful of readers noted that there are, in fact, good reasons for free people to be concerned about the possibility of a U.S. president with a devout commitment to Islamic theology and law. The American media that do report honestly on the less attractive truths about Islam, moreover, tend to be media that people are encouraged to look down upon.”

Palin Haters (why is she so hated? I mean really, why?)

Well, part of it I understand from a pure strategic point of view, she has robbed Barack of his momentum and neutralized Joe of any significance (unless he destroys her in a debate, which will be his mission, of course). But, beyond the impact on Obama’s Messianic Mission, she stands for many or most of the things that the Left despises. No need to recount them here. We truly are a county divided. The arrogant, pinched urban elitist or ‘cosmopolitans’ and the ordinary man and woman. Status/Arrogance v. Values. Group v. Individual. The individual man or woman of principle is the enemy, the threat to group think and conformity. As much as the Left hypes diversity and tolerance, they have shown their true stripes. The elite can be individuals. The masses should conform. Dangerous SOB’s, the Left. About four steps away from forcing their brand of conformity.

Who Hates Sarah Palin?        
 

According to many in the media, we truly have discovered someone worse than Hitler – and it’s Sarah Palin. Head to any left-wing blog or even CNN for that matter and you’ll find the zaniest of conspiracies — froth that even a dude with rabies would find unseemly.

So how can one person create so much bile among folks who claim to be the most tolerant in the universe? I mean, liberals are the good people: They’re open-minded, caring and of course, fair. But somehow, a Republican lady in her 40s is exempt from this treatment. Perhaps, she truly is the devil in a dress, a ghoul that eats children and pollutes the planet and possibly beats Barack Obama, the patron saint of every customer buying wheat germ in bulk at GNC.

But I know the real reason why every single elitist media type is terrified of her. They’ve never met her. And by “her,” I don’t mean Sarah Palin. I mean “her”, an actual normal woman with a bunch of kids, an average husband and no desire to watch “The L Word.” She’s scary to these folks the way Wal-Mart is scary to them: Both are alien to someone who blogs about their chakras. They won’t go there, because they’ve never been there.

To them, hating Sarah Palin is a symptom of larger bigotry against the rest of us, the normal. If they saw her at a party, they would wonder how she got in. She’s the anti-Obama, the anti-New York Times, the anti-everything that Tim Robbins loves, which is why I love her – and you should too. And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler.
