Reflections Upon The Massachusetts Senate Race

1. Massachusetts:

In recent years, the two Massachusetts senators have been Edward Kennedy and John Kerry.

Massachusetts, historically, has had Demorats outnumber Republicans, within roughly the last 100 years, 3.5 – to – 1. Massachusetts is, frankly, the bluest of Blue States. It’s why they’re called Massholes.

Teddy Kennedy had a virtual lock on his senate seat for almost fifty years, starting November 7th of 1962. Kerry has been in place since January 2nd of 1985.

Massachusetts politicians literally bleed blue — just like some vampires and all spiders, scorpions and horseshoe crabs. I think perhaps the Borg as well.

I suspect they’re the source for the phrase “blue bloods” or sangre azuls the nobility or “of noble descent.”

And that would certainly describe the arrogance, entitlement and inefficacy of the Demorats in this country.

That said, I’d care to post some observations I’ve noted within the past two years in terms of American politics.

2. 2008:

That was a landmark year for the Demorats. They literally “cleared the board” with national elections including our first black president. Demorats chirruped: “We have a mandate, we have a mandate!

And I submit this:

3. Not A Mandate:

Demorats completely misinterpreted their so-called “mandate.” The “mandate” was this: the nation was tired of President Bush. Period.

Couple this with those former Republicans or Conservatives who either refused to show up on election day or refused to vote for McCain — and Mr Obama was the result. Thank you, detailed purists.

4. Boding Poorly For Mr Obama:

Precisely one year after his inauguration, Mr Obama faces a relativistic shock. Even IF Scott Brown fails to acquire Kennedy’s senate seat and it is awarded to Martha Coakley, the Demorats will find themselves staggered. Despite there still being 150,000 dead persons on the Massachutsetts voting rolls, of which to take advantage. They made any number of arrogant and elitist assumptions. Even they could not see the true Writing On The Wall.

5. What IS The Writing On The Wall?

That is this: Demorat Nancy Pelosi actually plays to a specific minority of her own minor San Francisco district. She assumes she speaks for the millions when, in fact, she speaks for the loudest, the most strident, the most colorful, the most egregious, the most obstreperous, the most outrageous. She speaks for the Deluded, including herself.

6. Is The GOP Any Better?

In a word: NO. They don’t understand the fundamentals and the machinations that have occurred within the past year. They think it involves mindset and philosophy. It doesn’t.

7. If Not Philosophy, Then WHAT?

Both sides of the aisle fail to understand that the prevailing mood in the country is disenchantment with politicians in general. People want to see a stop to spending. People want to see a stop to entitlements. People want to see Politicians HURT. People want to see Politicians Hurt LIKE THEY ARE. And, instead, what do they see?

8. Politicians UNaffected.

So I say: is this necessarily, if he wins, a vote FOR Scott Brown? I posit: NO. I say it’s a vote Against Incumbents.

9. Lessons For Republicans?

You have an opportunity here. If you’re sufficiently intelligent and organized to take advantage. I believe that you are NOT. The Demorats have blown it. You are about to.

10. Immediate Future Votes?

The electorate is going to go this way: voting out ALL INCUMBENTS.

It’s, at this point, as simple as that.

Wednesday evening will tell.

Haiti: ENOUGH

On Haiti:

This is enough, United States.

Get out.

Provide CIVILIAN aid if you wish, provide it privately, if you wish. Provide some limited federal aid in terms of food, water, medicine, other provisions, construction material, if you wish. Then stop.

France has accused the US of “occupying” the country and, with “thousands” of our troops on the ground, I concur. It is estimated there will be 10,000 US troops in Haiti by Wednesday. Our soldiers do not belong there, not with this current administration in charge, not with the current mindset extant. US troops are already told “to be discreet” about how they physically hold their M4 rifles. They are told they may use deadly force if they see lives in danger, but only as a “last resort.”

Let ONE incident occur with one US soldier in Haiti and we will be roundly excoriated not only globally but domestically as well, with every likelihood the involved soldier will face criminal punishment encouraged by the Obama DOJ.

The US plans to bring Haitian children into the country. This begs several questions: homeless only? How can you tell they’re homeless? What if the parents exist and wish to be with their children? How can you confirm which parents belong to which children? And won’t there be adults who will claim children in order to enter the US?

It doesn’t stop there. Now there’s been a 5.8 magnitude quake off the Cayman Islands. If another strikes or there is devastation, do we deploy our military as well?

Get out, US. This is enough.

My prediction: Brown takes it (written Monday night @ 6:30 PST).
Followup: the Demorats do their best to ensure he is seated in sufficient time to NOT cast a vote regarding ObamaKare. Pushing ObamaKare is a priority; seating an enemy at the table — what Mr Obama called non-partisanship — is not.
Oh my, is this going to stir the pot. Particularly after Our Hero lobbied personally in the state.

Being “Politically Correct” WILL Be The Death Of This Nation


And, for once, the truth is starting to unfold. From The Washington Times:

Fear of offending Muslims or being insensitive to religion was likely a key factor to why Army supervisors missed signs that the suspect in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage was a Muslim extremist, according to national security experts.
Myself and numerous other bloggers knew, from the very beginning, that this was a major aspect of the US Army Major Nidal Hasan’s ability to carry out his November 5th attack, which resulted in 12 soldiers and 1 civilian dead.
The review concluded that the Army is ill-equipped to deal with “insider” threats. Mr. West and Mr. Clark said several Army officers appear to have been negligent in assessing Maj. Hasan in personnel reviews and other incidents during his career and likely will be punished.
We can’t be truthful to the public — we must keep our thoughts secret because, my, the horrors that would occur:
Adm. Vernon E. Clark, a former chief of naval operations and the investigation’s other co-leader, declined to answer when asked whether political correctness led to the Army security failures. He suggested that the matter is addressed in a secret annex to the report that he and Mr. West helped produce.
Even following 9/11, did Americans go on a wholesale shooting rampage with Arabs or perceived Muslims in our national sights? Did we create internment camps? No, we did not. I found many sites bleeding about “profiling” or “driving while Arab.” There were isolated acts. But much fewer than, for example, blacks specifically targeting whites for violent acts.
The unaligned professionals know the difference:

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a former military medical doctor, said political correctness is a major problem for the military and the government as a whole in dealing with Islamism.

“The culture in the military and the U.S. government is that you just don’t touch religion,” said Dr. Jasser, president of the Phoenix-based American Islamic Forum for Democracy. As a result, the military is ill-equipped to deal with the threat posed by radicalized Muslims, he said in an interview.

Steven Emerson, executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, said the military’s failure to understand the problem of radical Islamism is the reason the Fort Hood shootings were not prevented.

“The military is still mired in this murderous political correctness,” Mr. Emerson said, adding that religion, contrary to what Mr. West said, is “every part of the problem” in the shootings.

“Hassan’s jihadist beliefs were that infidels should be killed in the military,” Mr. Emerson said.

Mr. Emerson said the neglect of Islamist extremism “stands in sharp contrast to the military’s decision to weed out white supremacists a few years back at Fort Bragg by throwing out any serviceman who supported the Ku Klux Klan.”

This nation, ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you once again, continues to bend over for the elements that wish to do us harm — Islam. Yes, fine, flap on, I am biased, Islam is a religion of peace, love, understanding, it’s as wonderful or more so than Christianity, it’s a small percentile of persons who are causing trouble. I reiterate: Islam is as Islam does.
Keep turning a blind eye America; but first, take a small trip to a neighboring continent and see what’s occurring in Europe and the UK.
