Call Me Simple . . .
But I don’t understand:
Why the government spends billions on welfare but people keep saying hunger is a big problem.
Why the government spends billions on education and the population gets dumber and dumber.
Why the government spends billions on “intelligence” and defense but could not prevent September 11.
Why pointless filthy language has taken over in popular entertainment
Why every newspaper and TV news program has exactly the same reaction to every event.
How America stopped being a Christian country.
Why American fighting men had lots of Confederate symbols around in World War II but the armed forces now class them with swastikas.
Why all the generals you see on TV seem more like bureaucrats than soldiers.
Why all the recent Supreme Court appointments seem odd.
Why there are almost no Anglo-Saxon Protestants on the Supreme Court although the U.S. was founded by Anglo-Saxon Protestants.
How all those Muslim terrorists got into the country and became citizens and even army oficers.

Mr. Wilson my good friend, you have brought me (temporarily) out of retirement.
In answer to two related questions of yours (Why American fighting men had lots of Confederate symbols around in World War II but the armed forces now class them with swastikas? And, Why there are almost no Anglo-Saxon Protestants on the Supreme Court although the U.S. was founded by Anglo-Saxon Protestants?) I think I might have a single unified answer for you,sir.
It's an insightful little quotation by the French orator Pierre Vergniaud.
It goes a little something like this (a 1, and a 2, and a 1 2 3, hit it boys!):
You see, it's all rather simple really. The trick is to steer clear of la Revolution. In all of it's manifold manifestations. Once you do that, the rest is a piece of cake.
Cheers mate!
"Why all the generals you see on TV seem more like bureaucrats than soldiers."
Isn't that the truth? I think Cooper and Halleck are the only generals from the last unpleasantness who would be on tv today.
Welcome back, Semproni! The common thread in most of Prof. Wilson's question is how did we ever accept the revolution against everything normal, family loyalty, love of country and region, the God of our Fathers, the sense of the normal. If I were a conservative, my approach to the Court would not be to elect a Republican President who could appoint conservatives to the Court but to strip the Court--and its current freakish majority--of the powers it has arrogated.
Re Confederate symbols in WWII: Does the Army now ban that sweetest sound, the rebel yell, during a fire fight?
"Why there are almost no Anglo-Saxon Protestants on the Supreme Court although the U.S. was founded by Anglo-Saxon Protestants."
Even though I am a WSC (White Scottish Catholic), I was disappointed that even B.O. didnt find at least a liberal WASP female for the court. Not that it would matter much; the imperial court will be evil no matter who sits on it.
'Why all the generals you see on TV seem more like bureaucrats than soldiers.'
That's because they are bureaucrats. When promoted to general officer most cease being combatants and become politicized. There's even a special school they attend -- in the Marines it was called 'Charm School' -- in order to learn how to be a general...according to the generals' code. Mostly aloof separatism with a distinct personality makeover. Those who fail to toe that line usually don't make it beyond brigadier. As the old saw goes...'nice guys finish last.'
In line with Dr. Fleming's post, how did the Court become the arbiter
of just about everything?
Dr. Wilson.....here is an answer......100 years of gradual brainwashing starting beginning with the introduction of movies by Hollywood; oligopolization of 'free enterprise'; the decline of 'real' religion; and lastly the compulsory public education dumbing down generation after generation.....all orchestrated by generations of Yankee Harvard and Yale elitists and foreigners who hate the real America and its history.
Salutiamoci, Mr. Fleming. My point regarding Mr. Wilson's questions was that Anglo/Confederates have left themselves vulnerable to the inevitable and predictable winnowing process that the Revolution makes use of in it's drive for absolute domination and power.
Having pursued the path they have, the Anglo/Confederates are now trapped in the cul-de-sac of that path.
After all, you can't be swallowed-up by Saturn (or the Revolution) unless you're one of his (or it's) sons.
Ci risentiamo.
"Why the government spends billions on “intelligence” and defense but could not prevent September 11."
Dr. Wilson, how about "Why did no one resign in shame or why no one was fired after the attacks on September 11?". It is laughable to believe, "No one could have possibly seen this coming". But those who gave us that line of bull also told us, "This changes everything!", and "If you're not with us, you're against us." As politicians shamelessly wrapped themselves in the American flag and promised to "protect" us from further attacks, more American freedoms were lost in another opportunistic power grab.
John @ # 4: There are no rebel yells in a firefight. There are screams, though, of terror, pain, exertion, and elation, but you will never hear the true sounds anywhere except on the battlefield. What you hear and see on TV is an absurdity, worse than an idiotic, nonsensical caricature.
"Why the government spends billions on welfare but people keep saying hunger is a big problem.
Why the government spends billions on education and the population gets dumber and dumber.
Why the government spends billions on “intelligence” and defense but could not prevent September 11."
Simple enough, Dr. Wilson. These things happen because spending billions on "welfare" (including SocSec and Medicare), education and "intelligence" is not about actually allaying poverty, educating children or preventing attacks.
Spending those billions is all about building a dependent class, funding the useless, paying bureaucrats and building empires.
As one R. Heinlein once wrote: Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
