Okay, I've had enough ...

Time to start it up again!

Early this year, I followed my own advice and did a "self assessment." This laborious process consists of asking myself a bunch of questions, the most important of which is ...

"In what mood am I spending my day?"

I looked at what I as writing, how I was communicating and what I was telling others to do ...
Not that I expect anyone to listen, of course.

Whatever. (By the way, don't you hate when someone says that to you?)

ANYWAY ... I spent a few days asking myself that question, looking at what I was projecting and writing, and came to a singular conclusion:

I was ANGRY!

Now, I know that I wasn't projecting that all of the time and to everyone, but that anger was the filter I'd started looking through, and humor had begun to slowly creep away. I was starting to take myself too seriously, to imagine that I was more than a "little cog."
I realized that there was little more I could do or say that was worth my being angry.

So, it was time to step back for a look at my life, and to concentrate on new and long desired goals for a few months. And great gains were made, new doors opened.

But ... With the primaries over, and the silly season upon us, it's time to pick up the lantern again, and see who I can shine the light on.

Jeeze, it's hard to start doing this again ...
Naaaaaaaahhhh, not really ... They give me soooo much to work with!

From the "And the Dweebs just keep coming" file ...

Career twerp and well known "Jerk o' the World" U.S. Rep. (D-Hades) Pete Stark has made a life's work out of saying and doing things that would have caused a mere mortal to lose, by dint of fist, most if not all of their teeth. He's sooooooo obviously the fella for whom the line "Some guys just never learn ..." was coined.

But, who needs more of a screed from me when Pete can explain it so well by just being his own scabrous self, eh?



At least we know what to point to when trying to explain the fruits of "Voter Apathy," eh?

 Which brings us to B. O. ...

And His latest stinker ...

Gee, what a great Prez ... Isn't it great to have someone in charge to tell us how things could be so much worse? It almost eclipses the moment at the G-20 when he told the World that America can no longer be expected to lead the World out of Crisis ... But wait, aren't we supposed to "Never let a good Crisis go to waste"?

~

And now for our own "Big Stinker" ...

For sheer gall, Central Valley residents can always point to Gov. Arnold Scharzenheimer. After treating us to a cacophonic symphoney of self-back-patting for the past year as he "lead the fight" (sic) to get us more water while constantly declaiming how he couldn't get us more water, Ahnold told us this week how the "Water Bond" must wait until 2012. Supposedly, by waiting until 2012, the "Legislative Leaders" (sic) will magically come up with a new revenue source to replace the loss of tax revenues that were formerly generated by such ruinous pursuits as farming, ranching & logging. 

Add, or more pointedly subtract the loss of revenue to San Benito & Fresno Counties by continually restricting Public Land Access for recreation & tourism, and Gov. Ahnold is looking more & more like Prez Obama in whiteface.

However, I do have to give Ahnold kudos for holding a great "Town Hall" meeting in Fresno yesterday.

Of course, I didn't attend, having not been INVITED. Still, I don't feel any more slighted than most Fresnans, since they weren't invited either. In fact, only (some of) the Press and a few carefully chosen "Community Leaders" were given the signal privilege of being "chosen" to attend. Not that they were "allowed" to ask any questions.

No, there were no "impromptu" or "off the cuff" questions at this "Town Hall" meeting. No embarrassing demands for answers or solutions, no troubling questions of why the Governor hasn't done his job, or why he is attempting to go back on his word on the "Water Bond."

No, there we NO pesky calls for inconvenient & truthful answers. The fact is, an exhaustive FIFTEEN questions were asked of our harried and overburdened Governor. Add to this a wonderfully self congratulatory statement about how he's spent so much time "advocating" for the Central Valley, and how he'll still "fight" for the Water Bond after he's left office, and it was clearly a "Peachy!" Town Hall.

However, I really can't tell you too much about this fine, historic "Town Hall" ... Since it won't be aired until July 17th, if I remember correctly. I wonder if there'll be any movement on the historically (and traditionally) late budget by then.

Yeah ... Sure ... As if!

Socialism or Feudalism?

It seems as though the chant that the Conservative pundits have been tarred and feathered for uttering repeatedly over the past few years has been proven: the redistribution of wealth has come out of the closet.

From "Uncle Joe" Biden to Sen. Dodd to Jeremiah Wright to Jim Wallace, the "Progressives" have been pulling their pants down and mooning us since the passage of the Obama Health Entitlement Takeover Bill. Even good ol' Howard Dean came straight out and admitted that the Bill is simply redistribution of wealth.

 

It becomes crystal clear that the forced redistribution of wealth is the ultimate control tool in an affluent society. But who should be "allowed" to determine whose wealth must be redistributed?

The use of euphemism "Social Justice"isn't new as an excuse for taxing and spending as the "Elect" see fit. Here's a good analysis of Social Justice:







What Glenn refers to is a good start at the Truth. But I think that Glenn is an optimist.

As always, what the "Progressive" says to the Press is always milder and more benign than their actual intent. Like John Holdren, the President's Science Adviser, they will claim that they've "progressed" since the publication of their ultimate goals, earlier in their careers. What they've actually learned is that their allies in the Press will pooh-pooh and cover for them, since their ultimate goals are the same; Power for themselves over the very lives of the "common man."

and what they actually intend is not "Marxism":

It's Feudalism.

The "Elect" have pledged to bring Social Justice through such religious mind tricks as "Cap n' Trade," the universal government approved form of "Papal indulgence" for a populace which is expected to buy that WE need to feel guilty for our affluence. We must be forced into charity by such hypocrites as "Global Warming" Pope Al Gore, whose average monthly utility usage is more than 20 times the average American household.
Of course, Al is expected, as were the feudal Popes, Kings and Lords, to take profits for leading others to righteousness in the form of Social Justice. and so he already has, swelling his already considerable wealth to unforeseen (Well, at least by us) levels.

The analogies are plentiful, and easily made. Nancy Pelosi is Prince John, and Harry Reed is the Sherriff of Nottingham. Or vice versa.

So, remember this simple fact of life; What the Progressives have planned is ALWAYS worse than what they announce. And as the Priesthood of the Medieval Church did, the "Mainstream" Press will continue to minimize and obfuscate for the New Feudalists, since it's clearly to their personal advantage.

After all, it's obviously their job to make sure that we "common people" have plenty of great laws to make sure that we're as righteous as they can force us to be. And it's ALL for our benefit ...

Yeah ... Right ... Sure.
