The Way We Are Now—Alas!
"It is better to be ruled by a wise Turk than a foolish Christian." —Martin Luther
Months in advance, they are already running ads for the presidential primary here in South Carolina. The ads so far are devoted entirely to illegal immigration. This seems to be an issue of deep concern to Giuliani and Romney. They are competing as to who has been toughest on the illegals. How reassuring.
In their ads they are not yet competing as to who will be the first to bomb Iran. But it's early yet.
Have you noticed how our leaders take positions without any apparent notice of the consequences of their proposed actions? This suggests that they are either too dumb or too careless to be aware of consequences or that they have no intention of doing what they say.
Ron Paul is showing strong grassroots support here, as he doubtless is everywhere, but has not yet made a dent on the mainstream party hacks and media. But, as I said, it is early yet.
Otherwise, it looks like we will have a choice for the White House between a virago, a Kenyan, a mafioso, and a Mormon. Somehow, I don’t think this is what George Washington had in mind.
However, don't accuse me of thinking the more WASPish candidates are any better, with the one exception noted.
Has anyone else thought about how much America's foreign policy has been under the control of the foreign-born? I can think of at least three Secretaries of State and loads of pundits who know exactly what it is "we" should do.
My radio station plays every morning a syndicated bit of advice from some computer expert. For the life of me, I can’t figure out whether it is a boy or a girl. This is a growing problem, though more in the media than in everyday life. I suppose more and more residents of America don't consider it a problem at all.
Now that we have paid Saddam Hussein back for blowing up the World Trade Center, why are we still in Iraq?
Like the last Bourbon kings, George Bush has learned nothing. However, unlike them, he has forgotten a lot.
The Bush boy has made it to No. 1 as the all-time dumbest president. However, this is not fair to Warren G. Harding who did not even have a full term to work with.
Come to think of it, Harding had another disadvantage. "Global democratic revolution" had not been invented yet, so he did not have that to work with either.
But I misspoke myself. "Global democratic revolution" had been invented in Harding's time but had not yet become popular here. It was known in those days as Marxism.

Why so hard on Harding ? Old Warren G. slashed taxes, saw unemployment go down, helped end the mess in Europe. Was he a learned man ? No. But was he any dumber than Gerald Ford or William McKinley or Andy Johnson or U.S. Grant ? Not that the big brains like Hoover or Quincy Adams or Carter did us much good....
Ron Paul is showing strong grassroots support here, as he doubtless is everywhere, but has not yet made a dent on the mainstream party hacks and media.
True enough. For someone my age, the Internet isn't media. The youngsters think otherwise.
"...we will have a choice for the White House between a virago, a Kenyan, a mafioso, and a Mormon."
Let's not forget that we also have a shyster trial lawyer, who I'm convinced is the man to beat. Also, Biden is a frontman for the non-NYC rival faction of the mafioso. Bill Richardson is a wetback. Then, there's the used car dealer (aka Baptist preacher), Huckabee.
Most of the GOP field---what am I thinking?, the Dems, too---are begging to be the next neocon president. For those who haven't noticed, the actor is a McCain clone.
Then, there's the pro-life candidate. Why not just write-in Lyman Beecher? Oh, and the anti-immigration wop... What a dynamic crop of leaders.

Remarks:
Harding: My now ninety-year-old mother, born in 1917, says that the first President whom she remembers is Warren Harding: she recalls the day he died, or at least the day that the news made it to Chopin Plantation near Monet's Ferry, where my mother lived. Her father, who ran the plantation commissary, came home for dinner (noon meal for non-Southerners) and told the family that Harding had died. My mother said that she asked her mother, my wonderful grandmother, who Harding was and that my grandmother said, "The President." Of course, my mother then asked what a President was and was told that he was the man who executed the laws of the country. Mother admitted to me that she wanted ask, as a very young child groping for knowledge, why the President executed laws but did not follow up. My mother said that her only encounter with the word "executed" came from a discussion which my her parents had had with some drummers who had taken meals at their house. Apparently, a man had been executed for a crime; and my mother had rightly understood that he had been killed for the crime. So, in her mind, the task of the President was to kill the law. I have come to believe that my mother's childhood understanding is closer to the truth. I also told my mother that I knew quite a bit about President Harding from having read a biography and several articles on him. However, I also told her that I was still as unsure as she had been at near the age of six what a President was.
Secretaries of State and National Security Advisor: Yes, we've had a German (Franconian), a Czech (Bohemian) and a Pole (Varsovian) - all Central Europeans. Unless the Constitution is changed, our "Austrian" will never become President; however, he, in either a Republican or a Democratic administration, might become yet another foreign Secretary of State and another Central European. My many German friends warn me that allowing an Austrian to rise to a high post in government has a marked downside.
Marxism: Marxism and all of its forms - communism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism (think neo-cons, at least on branch of them) is a product of left-wing Hegelianism. It is one of three ugly sisters begotten by that group who turned Hegel upside down (Hegel said that Consciousness precedes being; the left-wingers said that being precedes consciousness and wrote the later with a small "c"). The other two are fascism - Nazism and corporatism (somewhere here think the other branch of the neo-cons, the Straussians) - and social democracy - the ugly sister with whom most in the West now consort. I assert, from a mere gut understanding, that when one of the forms of Marxism or social democracy decay the result is some variation of fascism. Fascism is the failure default of the other two ugly sisters.
Voices: My mother says, and I have taken note of what she says, that the younger folk speak through their noses and have an intonation quite alien to her ears. I have come to note the same; and so, it seems, has Dr. Wilson.
The only "Mafioso" in this campaign is Hillary. The blanket labeling of Italians as Mafia is an artifact of anti-Italian nonsense promulgated mostly by other immigrant groups and blacks who wanted to deflect attention from their vices. One of those immigrants, Jews, who are now in a position of disproportionate influence on all major organs of culture spend a lot of time reliving those old Lower East Side battles and animosities. They also relive the animosities towards the Legion of Decency. Much of the 20th Century has been a battle of Catholics and Jews for cultural control in a country where WASPs have lost their way. Now, Giuliani is a dirtbag, at least as far as his personal life. But he's not a crook, unlike the blessed WASP Clinton, Bush, or any of the other losers in our national scene.
But please don't repeat the Hollywood Jewish canard that Italians and the Mafia are one and the same. It's a lie.
@Roach
Great, you object to stereotyping by using another stereotype.
Btw, you really think a learned person as mr. Wilson wouldn't know the difference between an Italian and a mafioso? He's just kidding. However, considering mr. 9/11's positions and rethoric on the issues, he could be considered a thug --- or an autoritarian.
@Mr. Wilson
I want to complement you on your writing skills. Good stuff.
Let's hope Ron Paul wins.
I likened Rudy to a mafioso on the belief that nobody gets to high political office in New York or New Jersey without some organized crime connection. Indeed, it has been suggested that there is crime family in Rudy's family background. I did not intend to liken all Italian-Americans to criminals. I do not and never have shared that prejudice and slander. In fact, as I have suggested elsewhere, I believe that Italian-Americans, along with Southerners, are the soundest elements left in this benighted land. Nobody despises Yankee WASPs more than I do. Southerners are by far their greatest victims. They discriminated against ethnics for a generation or two. They killed us on a large scale.
The neocons are essentially lying about their "change of heart" on immigration. They have always supported a double standard (blood and soil citizenship for Israel; and open-borders propositionalism for all Western nations) and always will. The neocons now give lip service to enforcement because they think the public backlash will disrupt the religious-right coalition, which will affect Israel. And their politician minions (Giuliani, McCain, Romney, Thompson), realizing the public backlash, are now too giving lip service to enforcement. Their new strategy: lip service for enforcement, but massive increases in legal immigration, which results in the same thing: diluting the native stock and driving down wages.
The only three candidates that have PROVEN track records on fighting illegal immigration are Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, and Ron Paul; and Paul's conversion is recent, as previously he believed in the libertarian, open-borders mantras. But I do think Paul is sincere. I think he, unlike Thompson, had a true change of heart. Tancredo, however, by far, is the most sincere regarding illegal immigration. And he's also tough on legal immigration from the third world (unlike Ron Paul), which is being used by big business to drive down American wages.
CNW: "Otherwise, it looks like we will have a choice for the White House between a virago, a Kenyan, a mafioso, and a Mormon. Somehow, I don’t think this is what George Washington had in mind."
A very funny line, except for the "mafioso" business. Another thing that His Excellency the General wouldn't have had in mind is the casual imputation of criminality to a man simply on the basis of his ancestral origins. I abhor PC as much as the next fellow (probably more, in fact), and I'm of the view that Mr. Giuliani is an incredibly arrogant ~membrum virilis~, but still, "mafioso" is uncalled for ...
"Have you noticed how our leaders take positions without any apparent notice of the consequences of their proposed actions? This suggests that they are either too dumb or too careless to be aware of consequences or that they have no intention of doing what they say."
Or a third possibility: that they are evil and they are counting on a stupid electorate not to think about what they say. Which ties in to my next point:
"In fact, as I have suggested elsewhere, I believe that Italian-Americans, along with Southerners, are the soundest elements left in this benighted land."
In terms of actually having something resembling real communal and family life, yes. But keep in mind that Southerners, who voted for Bush en masse fit well into the stupid electorate description above--not more, to be sure, than anyone else, but considering they are voting their own destruction (the rest are already destroyed), they really ought to know better.
I don't have enough data to comment on the voting habits of Italian-Americans.
yes america has crossed the line to being evil, sadly. i think the evil used 911 to be sure we'd go there. but as in shakespeare's the tempest does God also govern the desires of evil people? i.e. satan being god's pal in the royal court in a kind of divine sting operation?
if so to what end in this modern drama or charade?
if not it's still evil now - god or no god. [so who'll stop the rain-?-if it's this way?] a wise turk as opposed to a foolish christian?
what's the pay? the germans are so brainwashed now (poor them) they'd have their turk take 2 prosac, instead. typical. they're conceptual creatures and sadly also watch too much t.v. ... you'd think they'd drink a little more beer - it's october fest!

Bede said: "The neocons are essentially lying about their 'change of heart' on immigration." That lot have always pretended to be against the invasion of the USA, yet they have worked hard to bring in, at tax payers' expense, the 100 million aliens that now live here.
When the termagant is president, she will likewise claim to be against the invasion while she signs an unlimited budget off to the body shops that recruit the invaders abroad. This is part of the global campaign to flood all white countries and only white countries with aliens and have them intermarry. I think we should call the neocons and the neolibs as they are: genociders.
PcH, you are missing the boat. To point to the necons or Hillary Clinton is a diversion from the main problem ---the Establishment Republicans Party. The neocons and Hillary are what they are. The regular Republicans are liars and traitors to the good people of the land.
The "7th Herzliya Conference" back in 1/07, had 5 different Presidential Candidates McCain/Guliani/Edwards/Romney/ and Gingrich gathered on one stage for the first and last time prior to the debates..........................Not in America, but in Israel. Yet citizens of Israel can not vote in U.S. elections. Thompson also made a pilgrimage I am told, as well as a visit to Baroness Margaret Thatcher. The Clintons, much more efficient, simply have the Chinese bring them the cash! Meanwhile, the MSM propoganda machine continues to tell "weak in principle conservatives" that candidates WITH PRINCIPLES can't win!....As usual, the war shout is, "But what if Hillary wins!"......Am I a conservative because I am a Republican? Or am I a Republican because I am a conservative?.....I will vote my principles, but I will not join the ranks of the GOP WORSHIPERS!

Sounds very much like a bad dream. The problem being it isn't any dream. Should serve as a jolt to those who still fantasize that our country is not ruled by that Fifth Column. Imagine, a mere 2.2% of the total U.S. population (according to jewishvirtuallibrary.org) decides who our President will be, what our Congress is and does, what our foreign policy is, which wars we fight. The real question remains, what specifically shall we, the 97.8%, do about it?
P.S. Some six years ago or so there was that first US television interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin. One question was about how he and his wife liked to spend their spare time. Putin replied politely, mentioned a few things, said how they also liked to travel, and then (completely unsolicited!) added how they “very much liked to travel to Israel”. I was flabbergasted, and thought to myself, here is even the ruler of mighty Russia, and he still had to bow to them...
Dr. Wilson,
As much as I loathe the Straussian neo-cons and the Trotsky neo-cons, I have long since come to realize that they are merely carrying the water for the Republican elite to whose ranks even the neo-cons are barred.
Dr. Wilson,
You know, I group all current politicians together as foes. But now that I think about it, "neo" can make it sound as if the parties only recently went wrong, when in fact the GOP was founded to slay the Constitution in 1860 and crown Yankee economics (state-capitalism) our form of government.
So do I understand you to mean that by looking too hard at the neos, we make an alibi for Republicanism?
(Which now is genociding us.)

does ANYONE seriously 'believe' that any govts. should be receiving massive tax Bucks... Given the [low] level of development of the human species--with NOTHING to do but spend them, and contrive to GET more of them, from the rubes?
what a joke.
i have a headache said the fool.
give me 40% of your annual income - you'll never have one again, said the charlatan.
ok...said the fool... who was shrewd in that he knew the charlatan would STEAL it one way or another. Now at least the charlatan had to Pretend to be 'moral.' funny.
it's better than 'nothing' thought the fool to himself... prudently.
GO from there - it's REALITY. it's Why people wonder why I 'tend' to be toward the left... funny.

I don't know whether you saw the recent NRO post by Ramesh "Last Chance Armada" Ponnuru, but it confirms what I say above. The neocon “conversion” on immigration is a hoax. Seeing that the mainstream “conservative movement” is falling apart, they have feigned patriotism on the immigration issue, but it is completely insincere. You are not going to make a fish side against water. They are whole-heartedly committed to globalism and all it entails.

Bede-
You are right.
I think everyone here believes you, but they might say that the Republican Party has always played the same game on invasion since 1860, when western Europeans and Irishmen ignorant of American politics, history, and culture were imported to fight Americans. Republicans pretended to represent American tradition. After the war, millions of eastern Europeans and Irishmen were imported to perform menial labour. Republicans made nativist statements. Around the time of WWI, millions of southern and eastern Europeans were imported. Republicans befriended "intelligent populists," ie, "Progressives."
The game has expanded to all the white world. ALL white countries and ONLY white countries are being flooded with millions of aliens, and the whites are encouraged to intermarry with them. This new genocide goes on. Neos pretend to be "converted" against invasion, but they said as much back in the 1860s. The hoax is old.
Now if more people outside Chronicles knew the truth as you do, things might improve.
(I hope I got this issue a little better this time.)
None of Dr. Martin Luther's writings ever stated anything like, "It is better to be ruled by a wise Turk than a foolish Christian". To the contrary, several of his writings present exactly the opposite view. In his "On War Against the Turk" Luther said:
"I say this not because I would teach that worldly rulers ought not be Christians, or that a Christian cannot bear the sword and serve God in temporal government. Would God they were all Christians, or that no one could be a prince unless he were a Christian! Things would be better than they now are and the Turk would not be so powerful."
Later he stated:
"Moreover, I hear it said that there are those in Germany who desire the coming of the Turk and his government, because they would rather be under the Turk than under the emperor or princes... For it is misery enough to be compelled to suffer the Turk as overlord and to endure his government; but willingly to put oneself under it, or to desire it, when one need not and is not compelled – the man who does that ought to be shown the sin he is committing and how terribly he is going on."
