Lt Col Allen B West for President

Greybeard at Pitchpull has a video up on his site in which Lt Col Allen B West speaks about his country and himself, and how things out to be:

Simultaneously, cj at An Angry American also has a West video posted in which he historically shreds a member of CAIR at an open mike forum a few days ago, on February 21st:

The Broward/Palm Beach New Times published a response by that CAIR representative at the forum, Executive Director Nezar Hamze. In this printed response, he states that Rep West “brought great shame” to the US House of Representatives.
I submit the reverse is quite true. It is Hamze and Islam as practiced that brings great shame to a great many people. People are starting to realize that, as I have written for many years now, “Islam is as Islam does.”
CAIR is a funder of Hamas. Hamas states in its charter that it will “obliterate Israel.” The greatest threat to a Muslim is another Muslim as in, Sunni vs Shiite, tribe vs tribe, locale vs locale. It truly is: “Me against my brother. me and my brother against my cousin. Me, my brother, and my cousin against the stranger.”
Further, taqqiyah is the purposeful “dissembling” or outright lying by Muslims to non-believers or infidels. It is not only embraced but demanded by Islam as practiced. It is the Islamist’s job to lie, refute and to use the other’s system against them.
Lt Col West simply dares to speak the truth and uses the terrible inconvenience of truth to back his statements.
Florida should be proud.

Public Service Question:

Question for my readers:


People generally revere or deride FDR; as you can see, he held collective bargaining in disfavor as applied to the public service sector. What, you ask, is the rough definition for “collective bargaining“?

Negotiation between organized workers and their employer or employers to determine wages, hours, rules, and working conditions.

The State of Wisconsin, for example, is pushing for the complete elimination of collective bargaining for its public service workers. As a matter of fact, the bill did pass. This movement will now continue on to other states.
The State of Fornicalia Little Hoover Commission wants to roll back pensions for existing employees, dump guaranteed retirement payouts and put more of the pension burden on workers.
All well and good because, moreover, the public sector employee is responsible for a good portion of today’s economic ills in the nation.
So: goodbye collective bargaining, also.
If it is decided that collective bargaining should be eliminated for the emergency side of the public sector — law enforcement and fire/medic response (dependent upon the model in your state) — and the public sector is continued otherwise unchanged (no incentive pay, no chance to participate in bonuses during good times, no incentives/changes in status, conditions, environment, wages or rates based upon merit, performance, per-call/run service), then each state, county, city, agency, entity can proffer a position with wages convenient for it and applicants/recruits unable to afford or live on that rate may go directly to Hell and work in the fast food industry. Or something that pays better.
Or you can, as I wrote in AJ’s blog, privatize law enforcement:
I hope to be retiring soon. It will be incredibly interesting to see the quality of law enforcement we will get in the future. But first you even have to find people interested in making the kinds of sacrifices demanded by the job. On both fronts: good luck with that.
Perhaps we should privatize all cops. You could pay per call. Those using lots of LE dollars on calls could be tossed into debtors’ prisons because, of course, they’re the ones producing the greatest amounts of problems. We could run a ticket, like a private box medic rig:
-First, taking the call: $190
-Processing and dispatching the call: $100
-Start Fee for responding vehicle: $50
-Plus mileage
-Plus idling/dwell time: $5 per minute (no charge if vehicle shut off)
-$250 per officer for first officer; subsequent officers @ $200 each for first hour
-Each additional hour, per officer, @$300
-Rounds fired from weapons, LTL weapons loads per unit, billed at replacement costs + 10%
-Injuries to officers billed at medical rates + time off + potential rehabilitation + 25%
-Damage to vehicles assessed at replacement/repair costs +10%
And so on.
All fees to be adjusted whenever necessary, so that the private provider doesn’t bear the fiscal burden of additional taxes, fees, fines, and living costs by itself only. The private company will have a bottom line and stockholders to please, as you well know.
Private police should also logically be incentivized such as the private sector. More money for more citations, more money for greater number of arrests, bonuses for solving community problems, bonuses for reducing calls for service in given geographical areas.
This privatization thing for cops could work out well, it appears.
On the other hand, like everyone else, they could be RIF’d during tough times and, like the private sector, strike and walk out if they can get away with it.
They can also leave at any time and join another department at a moment’s notice if it pays better and/or conditions are better.
Good luck getting people to work in high risk/low gain places like NY, LA, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, etc. Private cops would, naturally, want to work for Honolulu or Capitola or New Bedford or Coronado or Beverly Hills — or not work in the field at all. Let someone else make poor pay, few benefits and be shot at, stabbed, spit upon, etc.
I’m starting to like this private sector thing. Yes, high risk but, potentially high gain with bonuses, 401Ks, paid incentives, etc. Otherwise: leave the job and find another.
Absent any of that, me, you, dear citizens — either way — will get the kind of law enforcement we deserve — which, of course, is the law enforcement we pay for.
I’d kind of like to try privatization, myself. With my “old school” attitude and efficacy, I’d clean up the floor with today’s kids.
So, final question: if you eliminate collective bargaining for public sector emergency response (police and fire), what do you think the outcome will be? Or should we privatize this venue? Make the emergency response playing field more “incentivized” like the private sector?
I have my own very specific ideas.

Demography Is Prophecy

And I’ve written that countless times since my blog initiated in 2004.

It was common sense then and it’s common sense now.
A Texas demographer officially concurred this past Thursday that Caucasoids are “finished” in, at least, Tejas:

Looking at population projections for Texas, demographer Steve Murdock concludes: “It’s basically over for Anglos.”

Two of every three Texas children are now non-Anglo and the trend line will become even more pronounced in the future, said Murdock, former U.S. Census Bureau director and now director of the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas at Rice University.

Today’s Texas population can be divided into two groups, he said. One is an old and aging Anglo and the other is young and minority. Between 2000 and 2040, the state’s public school enrollment will see a 15 percent decline in Anglo children while Hispanic children will make up a 213 percent increase, he said.

The state’s largest county – Harris – will shed Anglos throughout the coming decades. By 2040, Harris County will have about 516, 000 fewer Anglos than lived in the Houston area in 2000, while the number of Hispanics will increase by 2.5 million during the same period, Murdock said. The projection assumes a net migration rate equal to one-half of 1990-2000.

Michael Savage, a poor messenger with a highly important message, continuously (and properly) emphasizes: borders, language and culture. He is, without a doubt, completely correct in his analysis of the basic and foundational precepts necessary to keep a country viable, independent, cohesive, sovereign.
– Without controlled and enforced borders you have no real nation-state;
– Without an enforced common language you have no real nation-state;
– Without a common culture, you have no real nation-state;
America, that “great experiment in progress,” is an amalgam of persons united by common threads, and those threads should be: Borders. Language. Culture. E pluribus unum: “out of many, one.”
With that in mind, I submit — as I have prominently in the past — that if you care for and admire the current state of political, cultural and governmental affairs in Mexico, then you are importing Mexico into the United States. And the US will, thusly, shortly become Norte Mejico.
Demography is prophecy.
And demography couldn’t care less about the past.
It only knows what is.
You can at least say, now, that America is the last, best hope of the entire planet.
Can we say that ten years from now? Five years? Two years?

Libya: Complete Oil Shutdown?

From Reuters:

Feb 24 (Reuters) – Oil production in Libya is expected to shut down completely and could be lost for a prolonged period of time, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said on Thursday.

“We expect Libyan production to be shut down completely and we might lose sweet crudes from Libya for a prolonged period of time,” Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Sabine Schels told Reuters.

Schels said that the world faced the prospect of real supply shock in which the loss of 1.6 million barrels per day of sweet oil could potentially trigger a steep rise in prices and force a sharp reduction in demand to balance the system.

“Some of the supply can be replaced with Saudi light crude and some from SPR, but if the disruption is prolonged, we will need demand to drop to balance the system,” Schels said.

Stand by. Impact coming.
