Washington

Washington, D.C. Then and Now

We are now a grass roots movement which continues to grow and spread.  The People peacefully assembled to petition the government for redress of grievances on Saturday with the March on Washington and the 9/12 Tea Party.  By doing so, we changed history.  It was orderly, it was rational, far larger, more respresentative than what happened in 1968.   I was a small child in the summer of 1968 when my father took the family on a vacation to Gettysburg, Williamburg, VA and Washington, D.C..  In Washington, we ran right into the Left exercising their First Amendment rights.  We could see it all from the top of the Washington Monument.  One demonstration was going up one street and another going down another.  Both had thousands of protesters.  Neither demonstration were large enough to fill their respective street, far from it.  There were also rallies in front of the Lincoln Monument, other monuments and at certain major cross streets.  Contrary to the Media, the city was not flooded with demonstrators, only well placed knots of people helping to back up traffic.  There were only tens of thousands of scruffy protesters attending these rallies.  The Media, however, did their best to spread the misinformation.  They concentrated on covering the disjointed groups, didn't look too closely at the shantytown of Resurrection City at the foot of the Washington Monument and along the Reflecting Pool and misrepresented the demonstrators as an example of massive public support for the new Left.  By misrepresenting reality, the News Media were then able to change the world with a lie.   In contrast, one to two million people showed up in Washignton, D.C., a city of three quarters of a million people, for the 9/12 Tea Party and March.  This figure did not include all the other people who showed up at local Tea Parties.  Who knows how many will show up peacefully again to attend the three days of the Values Meetings next week?  They will be more than the scruffy malcontents who showed up in 1968.  Take your cameras and video cams and record everything you can then post on the internet from every possible vantage point.   At the same time, we need people to record the tantrums of the Left occuring in Pittsburgh during the G-20 meeting.  We are anticipating tens of thousands here, possibly 40,000 lunatics.  These are of the violent, scruffy type with the tendency to riot and throw more than a fit, so be careful.  In Pittsburgh, safe vantage points for recording the mind numbed robots might include Mt. Washington and the North Side.  Remember, no feeding the animals.  In other words, don't confront the spoiled children and feed their rage, just record their antics if you can.   The momentum is now with us, so we can't rest on our accomplishments, but continue to push for re-instatement and protection of our rights through our own efforts.  We are the New Press and the New Media and we will hold the News Media to task from now on.

 

Mom Said NO Porkulus!

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

John Adams

 

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately what with all the brouhaha surrounding the Porkulus bill and other asinine quests of those in Washington. It of course has got me too rambling quite a bit so I thought I might as well jot some of that babbling down.

My mother, much like yours I’m sure, was famous for hurling occasionally befuddling statements at us as kids. Things like;

“Am I talking to a brick wall?” “Are you deaf or something?” “Does anyone in this house listen?” See a pattern here? And of course the typical favorites; “Shut up and Answer me when I ask you a question!” “I hope someday you have children just like you” (careful this curse actually works)

There were always the really confusing ones such as; “Enough is enough!” Huh? And “If wishes were horses...” I’ve never heard the conclusion and I’m somewhat disturbed by how many wishes I may have wasted trying to figure that one out. “I've had it up to here with you.” Now that one would’ve been easier to avoid had she only once given us some inclination as to where the hell ‘here’ was.

There was the infamous “Don’t” list. A veritable cornucopia of kids desires simply round up into a parental manifesto of “absolutely not.”

“Don’t . . . eat that, you'll get worms! . . . Go out with a wet head, you'll catch cold. . . . Make me get up! . . . Run in the house. . . . Sit too close to the television; it'll ruin your eyes. . . . Walk away when I'm talking to you! . . . And on and on and on.

At times she would question or very sense of reality with such conviction us ourselves would take pause . . . “Who do you think you're talking to?” “Who do you think you are?”

Perhaps because of her faith in the aforementioned curse she had no doubt she could simply will things into existence . . . “You WILL eat it, and you WILL like it!”

There was the occasional “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.” Line, that remains a subject of great debate to this very day.

Eventually all of the day’s speeches were sure to be followed by the always faithful and dreaded . . . “You just wait until your FATHER gets home!”

This always brought immediate thoughts best described by Ralphie; “It was all over - I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child's play compared to what surely awaited me.”

Force Democrats to Commit to a Particular Vision for America!!

 

 

There is any easy path back: Force Democrats to Commit to a Particular Vision for America.

To do this, consider a coalition between the Green and the Republican Parties.

Crazy you say?

Hear me out.

What is the best way to expose the basic fraud in the democrat appeal?

Force them to choose between the liberal base and the broad coalition.

What is the best way to do that?

Help the Green Party win those "safe" liberal seats tucked away in the inner cities.

Usually, the Republican Party doesn't even run a candidate in these seats. Why not contribute to Green Party victories in those Gerrymandered Liberal State Representative, State Senate, and U.S. Congressional seats?

How can you do that?

Prevent the democrats from blocking Green Party ballot access. Relax restrictions on ballot access. Contribute money to Green Party campaigns. At every opportunity, attack the hypocrisy of Democrat candidates in comparison to Green candidates.

Don't let the Democrats get away with installing another Baraka tHUSAME Obama in a nice safe State Senate seat like the one in Hyde Park, Chicago. Make the would be "liberal" democrats fight the Green Party for those seats. Make them prove their liberal credentials so that they can't run away from their commitments as soon as they see lobby money waived in their faces.

This is way better than the K-Street project. The Green Party project would actually work.

Think of the effect on the Democrat Party.

Democrats would have to choose between, on the one hand, an honest and straightforward socialist approach, or, on the other hand, a weasel-worded, flim-flam, Obama type campaign of deception in which they promise everything and deliver nothing but image.

How can Republicans continue letting the Democrats finesse all the major issues of the day, without forcing them to commit to their best solution?

Exhibit A: immigration policy.

Exhibit B: trade policy and globalism

Exhibit C: income redistribution

Force the democrat liberals to choose.

You really want "Choice not an Echo," then start by forcing the liberals to choose. It'll make your job easier.

If Green members take the liberal seats in the State Houses and Congress, the Green Party can form a coalition with the Republican Party, just as happens with third parties in Canada, Europe and Israel.

Coalitions allow the parties to unite to accomplish specific goals. It's not true that there could never be a project on which Republicans and Greens could agree. Starting with the selection of a Speaker of the House (state or federal), the opportunity to form a coalition with the Green Party could offer significant advantages to Republicans over their Democrat rivals.

The beauty of a multi-party system is that each party passionately represents it's own constituency. As the constituencies expand, the influence of the party expands. Each party negotiates on behalf of its constituency for the best government possible. There is less ideological fraud.

The Republicans have been trying to run on ideology since 1964 - as if Republicans were in a multi-party system. Instead of a straight up debate, Republicans keep using wedge issues and sleezy (Atwater type) campaigns in order to win. This must be frustrating to those who want to have a full opportunity to work out a functioning philosophy of government. How can you do this if the Democrats can't be pinned down?

Force the democrats to stick with a message. Force them to represent their constituents.

Force the democrats to face the Green Party.

Force liberal democrats to chose between the Democrat Party and the Green Party.

Liberal democrats will either disappear; or, the Democrat Party will accept a fixed ideological position. Either way, is good for Republicans. And, coincidentally, it would be good for America.
