Where Is The TEA Party?
When you don't have a dog in the hunt, the political scene can be quite entertaining. The only problem is that this political game - and it is a very deadly game - has only losers.

Let's go back to 2006, when the American public angrily elected a Progressive majority in the House and a slight majority in the Senate, by staying home. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were monarchs of DC, and Republicans continued their slide into Progressive-lite, completely misreading the American vote.

Fast forward to 2008. The sins of the Liberals had not yet been made public, and the failure of publicly funded and insured housing creating a monetary catastrophe had been placed, not where it belonged, but at the feet of the very people who did not have enough power to stop it. With the help of a complacent lap-dog media, Barack Obama was elected President and the Senate and House majorities grew.

2010 saw a transformational anger create the Taxed Enough Already or TEA party movement. It caused average citizens to fill the streets with peaceful, but emphatic demonstrators, demanding that the Congress stop spending. Had the professionals in both parties not intervened to put down the movement, things would have probably turned out much better. As it was, the South Carolina delegation became more libertarian, representing more of the producers of the state, and the Congress returned to the Republican party.

Now we come to 2012, where the professionals in the Republican party are trying, once again, to hand the reigns to a malleable candidate - one they can control for whatever it is they think America ought to be. A group of union-paid-for demonstrators calling themselves "the 99%," and representing almost everything that is vile and stupid in America, have tried to claim that they are a legitimate movement rather than a rent-a-mob, which they are.

Where is the TEA party? Where are the people dedicated to intelligent thinking and freedom? Where are the people who do not wince from the idea of self-reliance and personal responsibility? They are where they have always been - where they were in 2010 - where, hopefully, they will be again.

Unless I am very much mistaken, the real peoples' movement will come to the fore, again. I believe that they have been watching and waiting and doing their jobs and running their businesses and waiting for the real fight - the 2012 fight - to begin.

Only time will tell if I am right, but, if I am, then we should begin seeing the TEA partiers begin their push very soon. America needs them. South Carolina needs them. Politics cannot be the sole possession of political bosses and lapdog media and cocktail elitists. For if it is, we are doomed to a country of Obama fascism.

And fascism means crony capitalism, poverty handouts, and the consequent end of the middle class in America.

Some Rude (Natural) Gas
The price of natural gas has slipped, again. Just slightly above 3 bucks per million btu's.

Ten-year Henry Hub Spot Price Chart

The answer is simple. They lost millions of dollars, adventuring in the real estate market, since 2006. They currently have a 87% debt-to-equity ratio because of it and government intervention, and still have to pay dividends to the thousands of little old ladies who own Duke stock.

So, the next time you look at your electricity bill, just remember you're keeping your grandmother's retirement fund warm, as well as your home and hearth.

Judges Spitting In Your Eye
How nice of Obama's administration to prove Newt Gingrich right!

Attorney General Holder's attack on South Carolina's immigration law, Texas' immigration law,

Misprision of Treason?

Arizona's immigration law, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration enforcement policy shows how the judiciary can be used to create law.

In my dreams I'm an attorney general of one of these states; I send my marshals to DC and arrest Holder for misprision of treason.

There are so many good people in America. Why do we have to suffer such fools in the administration?

Election-Time Hyperbole
Watched the Ron Paul CNN interview. He did not walk out on the interviewer (one of CNN's weaker reporters). It is obvious that he was ending the interview, as most people with other things to do have done, calmly taking off his lavalier mic, and gently handing it to the reporter's producer.

Ron Paul Finished
Having said that, I would feel a whole lot better about Paul, were he to articulate HOW he would keep wicked countries from destroying our interests and allies around the world.

And I would appreciate it, if the pooh-bahs in the Republican party apologized to Newt about his judiciary comment and Herman Cain for walking away from him, when he got zonked by Romney's hatchet men.

Something Else
Kudos to Fox's Mike Emanuel and his producer on breaking the Capitol Hill compromise story today. You might be surprised how many important political stories are broken by Fox. The Obama-lite bill is less of a horror than it was 24 hours ago, but don't blame the Republicans for it not being pure. They and the country have been taught a lesson about the dirty way that Progressives (who ARE in the majority) play. To get justice in America, the Progressives must be banished from America.

December 22, 2011
Hope & Change For Anybody Else
All those people who just LOVE Barack Obama need to understand that they should leave the state. Beyond the fact that Progressives are the morons of the universe, and their leaving would instantly increase the IQ level of the state, there will be no new jobs from their guy, so they need to go some place else to find a job.

Once again, Obama and his regime have denied South Carolina jobs, now, and maybe in the future. He and his EPA are keeping our port of Charleston from getting the dredging it needs, in a timely manner. Even if there were enough private funds to do it without Federal help, they will not allow it. By the time our port could be "studied" and dredged to the proper level, the super ships will go someplace else, killing our shipping industry.

I don't want to hear one more Progressive tell me anything about any of their candidates, ever again. They are ALL anathema to job creation in this state, except government and union jobs. And if they don't know this by now, they are just plain stupid.

Clyburn's unintended demonstration of how
much he can actually help the Palmetto State

This latest bit also just goes to show how truly weak Jim Clyburn actually is among his Progressive pals in Congress.

But then, Progressive misdeeds always speak louder than their words.

Cold Fish
Mitt proved Wednesday that he will get chewed up by Barack Obama in a series of debates. His "heat in this small kitchen" remark is just the kind of silly, advisor-pre-written statement that will get him skewered.

The only people who drooled at the remark, meant to be a cut against one of the front-runners, was Fox News, which is dedicated to the defeat of everybody but their controllable Mitt.

Barack Obama, for good or ill, is a practiced liar. His pre-written remarks are written by better writers. His teleprompter skills are far superior to those of the empty-headed Ken Doll that is Mitt Romney.

Maybe, if Mitt Romney had a set of deeply held beliefs, he might be able to hold his own against Obama. But Romney has no "own" to hold.

Silly Determinism
After falling over 550 points, the market went back up over 330 points. It's understandable, but a silly attempt at determinism.

Traders WANT the market to be good so much, that, on days such as yesterday, they push the market up on anything that even SEEMS like good news. It's not, of course, so you can count on whatever gains were made, yesterday, will be lost in the coming days.

But then, in a few days, it will go back up, again.

I've already discussed in this column, several times, why the market is acting this way - moving sideways. I've also explained why, until we get a real regime change in Washington, we won't see the economy return to a true Bull Market.

Again, the forces which are building to a disastrous peak - unless reversed - are inflation and stagnation, both of which are being encouraged by the redistribution of wealth and threats of wider redistribution from the current administration. They are almost guaranteeing a dissolution of the American success machine, if they get to continue for another four years.

As it is, the myth that is our currency will cause immense pain to the economy when reality sets in, which it must, eventually.

Frozen Cooler Heads
I am not a nihilist. I find the concept and practice odious. If I am anything, I'm a realist. I have ideals - the same ones as Adam Smith, John Locke, Thom Jefferson - but like them, I accept those ideals because those ideals work. Year after year, time after time, capitalism, free will, exceptionalism, and self reliance prove more effective than Marxism, communism, fascism, and the ideals of Barack Obama.

Yet, year after year, time after time, the so-called "cooler heads" admonish the people of America that things have to be fair, the poor must be taken care of, people can't make it on their own.

To be sure, there ARE SOME people who are prevented by circumstance from succeeding. But most of the people collecting welfare are there by public edict rather than circumstance. We all know these facts.

The real question is why do we tolerate the so-called cooler heads? They are almost always wrong. The cooler heads keep us from exceptionalism and point us toward mediocrity.

Dr. Newt Gingrich (PhD) is an exceptionalist. Dr. Ron Paul (MD) is an exceptionalist. Jim DeMint is an exceptionalist. Most of the State DC Caucus believe in American Exceptionalism. And, of course, Ronald Reagan was an Exceptionalist.

When you compare a DeMint or West or a Reagan with an Obama or a Reid or a Romney, you get the idea that the cool heads aren't cool, they're frozen. It may well be that the Republican Party has to be more (little l) libertarian in order to succeed. It is a fact that 70% of Republicans aren't warming up to the "cool head" Romney.

We cannot afford to be Europe. We must be US. And we must eschew the cool head in favor of the lovers of freedom. Freedom involves allowing people to follow their own lights and casting off even the urge to control other people. I have written before that we have never really had a hands-off government and I get proven right every day. It also seems obvious that we only hear solutions that involve the promulgation of more control.

What we need are fire breathing (little l) libertarians who leave morals to the church, politics to the politicians, and just get on with dismantling the government monster while maintaining a healthy national defense.

Riddle Me This
If the EPA really does arrest people who begin work on the new Canadian pipeline to Texas, does that make them Keystone Cops?

December 18, 2011
Literature Is Not Grammar
For the first time in months, I feel at peace, but not because things are getting better. Things are getting so bad that we may truly be at a breaking point. Economics, politics, ethics, and religion have reached such a state to the left that a retrenchment is inevitable. It is this inevitability that creates a calmness.

What made me decide that a real revolution against the left is coming, is a puff-piece in the Post & Courier. The piece, which was obviously either dictated or pre-approved by the Charleston County school district, extolled the wonders of reading and how all the little children benefited from meeting one of the Great-Great grandchildren of the subject of the book they had been "reading." It was supposed to be an outreach to grade school kids from Charleston University.

On the surface, this is all goodness and light and are we not just the neatest people on earth? The problem is that maybe one of the 400 kids who participated in the program will actually be able to get into Charleston University. The others won't because they won't have the grammar skills necessary to get in. And from where I'm sitting, it's getting worse.

The reason is that literature is not grammar. When all the Charleston University people go away, the kids will still be subjected to their English teachers who don't know the language. I can say, without hesitation, that perhaps one in thirty-five South Carolina public school students will teach themselves the proper grammar they will not be taught in the classroom. The rest will fail at least one of their first college papers miserably, and be forced to catch up. This is not to say that one in thirty-five students will fail - there are plenty of home-schooled and private-schooled students who make it into my classes, and know their grammar, for the most part.

And isn't that a pity. We spend so much money per student on a state public education system, and it is a pathetic failure when it comes to TEACHING English grammar. There are some very few exceptions among the teachers, but most of them are retiring or have retired.

Yet, I do not fear. I am not panicked. Because, now I know the system will probably break of its own stupidity and corruption. There appears no hope for it. Failure seems assured. Only charter schools, home schools, and private schools seem to have what it takes to survive. And, maybe, that's the way it should be. But THAT, I do not know.

Mitt's Get
Nikki is a great "get" for Romney, but this is no surprise. Now that Herman Cain is not in the race, Romney makes perfect sense for anybody who is in power and wants to have some suasion with the power people's new President.

It also makes perfect sense why she didn't support Newt. Newt, if you remember, was asked - begged - by Haley's people to show up at the first SC debate. Even I was P.O.'d because he gave us a pass. And since Romney had not officially joined the race, it's no surprise that she picked anybody but Newt. Bachmann is a slightly different, but mostly similar story.

I still am totally turned off by what Mitt Romney's people did to Herman Cain, so don't expect me to say nice things about him. Period. But as much as I loathe what he did, he could be the nominee. This is why conservatives have to pick their guy or gal and drop the others, or Romney WILL BE the nominee. I can still like Nikki Haley even if I hate her taste in Republicans.

But who to pick? We're left with the late 18th Century Isolationist Ron Paul, the smart but unbearable Michele Bachmann, the inconsequential Rick Santorum, or the brilliant but rude (to SC) Newt Gingrich. A a a a a a a a r r r r r r r r r r r r r r g g g g g g g h !

2000-2006?
The SEC, with large trumpets, are bringing charges against 6 former Fannie and Freddie heads for 2000-2006. They're charged with lying about the solvency of their entities' sub-prime loans - loans to people who couldn't afford loans. I have no problem with blaming both Clinton and Bush, although Bush did try to reform Fannie and Freddie in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, but was deflected by congress each time. I have trouble digesting the reason why they are not also bringing charges against the people who ran Fannie and Freddie from 2006 to 2009. Until they do, this is just another game of Texas Holder. This is another reason why appointed entities like the SEC and EPA should not have law-making and/or enforcement powers. It's also another reason why government should not be involved in business, at all.

Question: why are they doing this, now? Is it because we're about to get news that the employment numbers are about to explode to the downside? And where was Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in all of this, not just Willie C. and W.

Pay Away A Layaway
I was going to write this wonderful article on the debate last night that everybody looked good. In fact, I had written all the clever remarks ahead of time and only had to fill in the names of those who had actually said them. I even had a nice picture of Neil Cavuto, the new question asker, for you to see. Here is the picture of Neil..

Neil Cavuto

Read this article in The State newspaper. If it doesn't give you an idea about how to give in a meaningful way this Hanukkah and Christmas Season, I'll be the male sibling of a simian's parent. How wonderfully inventive and imaginative this is: Paying off some poor person's Christmas layaway!

It doesn't take much - and if you have even a little extra cash, as many of my readers do - you could make a real difference in at least one family's life. Now there is no organization that does this, YOU have to take the time to call Wal-Mart or KMart or Belk or Kohl's or Macy's or Dillard's. You have to take the time to get a name and an amount.

Now, I know you can do this. I hope you will.

Oink! Oink! Oink!
THERE IS NO MARKET REBOUND. At least, there is no market rebound in a Bull Market sense. The Market is moving sideways.

Here are some things to consider:

• Nobody knows what's going to happen in Europe. I think that Deutschland really will wind up über alles in Europe, but whether the Euro goes south is still only a guess.
• Gold is finding its real foundation, which is somewhere around $850/oz., but probably won't go lower than $1,400/oz, and could go as high as $2,000/oz.
• Silver is rising while gold is falling. $30-$35/oz is its real foundation.
• NASDAQ continues sliding down on up DJIA days.
• Up equivolume is thin and fat going down.
• Commodity Futures are reflecting a gloomy slowdown outlook.
• Mid-cap and old-tech companies are CLOSING - sometimes without notification, as happened in Liberty this week.
• New-tech and well-capitalized company employment level is, for the most part, up only in the South and Southwest, while entire Northern cities are debating whether or not to go bankrupt.
• People are shopping for Christmas, but they're doing it on credit cards.
• The Fed continues to create fiat currency at a remarkable rate, creating its own inflation.
• The Administration continues to push the country toward bankruptcy with its fascist (crony capitalism) economic policies.
• Real inflation is something like 15% and is only waiting for an honest administration to come out of the closet.
• Unemployment is unknown because of the dishonest counting system which has been used for decades - probably 15-20%.
• And most importantly, survey polls are showing that the average voter is getting stupid - wanting government to "just do something.." that is to say 'just do anything' - THAT'S STUPID!

Punks ≠ Freedom Fighters
Saw the Time "Person of the Year," trying to equate the children of the rich & Union paid for rent-a-crowds to the cry for freedom in the Middle East. Disgraceful. It would be horrendous if people actually read Time Magazine, but since they don't, it's not important.

Robin Hood & King John Were Both Fascists!
Mark Steyn said it best. "The problem is not the Greek banks, the problem is the Greek People."

My fear is that this pronunciation by the brilliant immigrant author of After America may soon apply to the people of America. There is a very small, but vocal group, sponsored by SEIU, ACORN, and Progressive Billionaires and manned by their pampered, rich children, who are loudly proclaiming that YOU, owe them a free ride. They also want YOU to pay for illegals' health bills and welfare payments. They are deTocqueville's nightmare - the society which votes itself benefits.

I want to be completely clear about this. If we, in South Carolina, wish to use OUR tax money to help the shiftless and the helpless, AND, if we can AFFORD it, that's OUR decision. But it should not be up to some goof-ball in New Hampshire to tell us we HAVE to do it. It is also NOT up to us to demand the same from the goof-balls in New Hampshire, nor funding, either. The operative word, here, is "AFFORD."

The real story of "Robin Hood" is instructive, at this point.

There really was a person who lived in the British Isles, who was the son of a landed knight, who turned land privateer while living in a forest with his men, and I'm quite sure they laughed from time to time. He had a brother who was over 7 feet tall and was called "Little John" (Ian Begg). He had another brother, who was a kirtled friar and who was known for his store of rare foodstuffs (tucker). He took tax monies which had been unjustly levied and returned the proceeds to their rightful owners and he fought and won freedom for his entire country. The legend is that he produced a daughter from an affair with his girlfriend/wife, Marion (Marien).

His name was William Wallace, the Scots national Hero.

Wallace did not steal from the producers and give it to the non-producers. He took the taxes stolen from the producers and gave it BACK to the people who had produced it. This distinction is important, because the real person gave his life for Scottish freedom, while the English myth is an expression of fascism invoked to fix an equally repressive economic failure. Neither English monarchic fascism, nor Hood's redistributive fascist system work. Wallace fought to restore freedom and free will - his system does work - it's called CAPITALISM.

I don't care that there are wimpy toffs in the North that are unhappy with the term capitalism. They have been substituting unionist-communism for capitalism for so long they don't know what the word means, much less know how to practice it. Let those who use it name it.

To conclude: Robin Hood was a fascist. William Wallace was a capitalist. Robin Hood is a myth. William Wallace was real.

A Million Dollars for Nothing..
OK, so you read about Radio Nature Health Doctor, Michael Savage offering Newt a double large NOT to run. Besides the fact that it's a stupid move from a guy who should know better, the offer may qualify as bribery. If Newt said yes, he could be breaking at least one federal law.

So, either Savage is dumber than Newt, or he's playing with fire and may get burned. And..

In Case You Were Wondering
I'm still hoping Cain gets back in the race. I might be persuaded to vote for Newt at gunpoint, but, I will stay home if Romney is the GOP candidate. Cain was, for me, the perfect candidate, including the four flavors of Howard Johnson.

Drone
As the National Media continues to be fascinated with the irrelevant, there is a huge problem developing in DC and the world, which will hurt America on many levels.

Our drone system has been compromised. The safe landing of our Stealth Drone in Iran, BY Iran, means that our enemies know how to take control or at least block the signals of these important weapons.

This is exactly the kind of thing that generally does not happen in conservative administrations. Usually, more care is taken with secret dealings, not just to preserve secrecy, but to deal, quietly, with treasonous persons who beleive that stealing America's secrets is a fun thing to do. The advent of this situation also means that whoever is running our black ops is doing a very poor job of things, and we are going to pay for it, make no mistake, in one way or another.

December 12, 2011
Candy
As children, we looked to our parents to be the rewarder and punisher of actions. We understood when our father would bring home a few coins every week, and pass out our allowance. In our household, there was always a special admonition not to waste the money, but save it, perhaps even invest it. Somewhere in there was a piece of candy used to make poignant the idea that we should save in hopes of eventually becoming independent, and so enjoy the sweet things of life.

The "Occupy Anything Stupid Movement" trades on this concept with one dreadful exception. They do not recognize the hard work necessary to obtain the money and the candy. They want it all, now. They don't want to work for it. If that were all of it, the Occupy people would have effervesced by now into the atmosphere.

Now, lets focus here. These Occuparts are basically kids being led around by paid union thugs. History and logic have no place among them. They are odd pets of the leftist fascists who make up the core of this group of thugs.

But this childrens crusade has a wilkommen from shadowy forces on the left, who wish them to seem instantaneous.

The Candy? Daily exposure by the drive by media. All they want.

ABC Debate
I'm in shock. Contrary to public opinion, last night's debate on ABC was even-handed. Although Diane Sawyer appeared inebriated, slurring her words and phrases, she was able to maintain her attention. Her co-inquisitor was also focused.

Again, as in all the other debates, Newt was the smartest guy in the room, followed by Ron Paul, who's idea of foreign policy is still scary.

If anyone lost the debate, it would have to be Mitt Romney, the darling of Fox News. He appeared out of place at times, arrogant at times, confused and stumbling at times. His defenders - including those in the media - will try to defend his actions, but they will be deceiving themselves.

Rick Santorum continued to remind us of the General who followed Julius Ceasar - too much "me, too." Michele Bachmann continues to grate on my ears - I'm sorry, she could use some speech and voice lessons.

Rick Perry scares me, a little. I have come to distrust anyone who says he is a Christian. It usually means he or she WANTS to be a Christian, but has a lot of work before he or she gets there, and it would do one good not to turn his back on them.

Give this one to the Ham Sandwich.

Is It Just Me?
Or, have you noticed that Fox News is campaigning for Mitt Romney as hard as they can. It really makes you wonder what's going to happen if Newt wins the Presidency. There has never been a President, in the past 70 years, who didn't have at least one broadcasting network on his side.

Personally, I thought Fox was more professional than that. Oh well, maybe they'll change if the Ken Doll is beaten like a bad drum in Iowa and only inches by, in New Hampshire.

Also.. Tee Hee..
Once again, the Commander in Chief was sitting on the loser's side at the conclusion of the Army-Navy game. I'm telling you, always bet against the man if you want to win.

¡Advertencia, Memo Petirrojez! ¡Advertencia!
This is the kind of thing that will drive you to drink.

There is a guy, Gabino Sanchez, who came to the US and outstaid his visa. The only thing he didn't do is sneak into the country. Short of coming from another planet, he's as illegal an alien as you can get. That was years ago. He has two "anchor" children - they were "born in the USA," as the song goes. The Post & Courier has the whole story.

Naturally, some yankee jackwagon has decided to teach us, dumb hicks, a lesson in caring, and come from the home of ethics and morals, Chicago, to do so. And while the better part of my nature says to ride his free-riding butt back to Chi-town, I would rather see him leave on his own. He is a cipher, and irrelevant.

But what do we do about Sr. Sanchez? Do we banish this Mexican as a poser and a criminal? Do we send his children to Children's Services? Obviously, he is a miscreant. By breaking our laws he has deserved a punishment. That makes him a bad parent, right? We could do that.

Or..

• We could keep his family together,
• Fine him - with the funds going to reduce the national debt,
• Lend him a green card which he has to renew, every year,
• Deny him citizenship, the right to vote, or bear arms - except in his home,
• Mandate him to learn and pass a rigorous test of spoken and written English.
  

The problem is, the current administration doesn't understand what it is to be an American Citizen. And their disease is spreading.

Zowie Kadow!
Most Progressives and even political pundits simply can't help showing how ignorant they are. Newt Gingrich was absolutely correct when he stated that the Palestinian movement has, basically, developed from a work of fiction. Read the history, yourself.

"Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Ancient Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Sunni Arab Caliphate, the Shia Fatimid Caliphate, the Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mameluks, Ottomans, the British and modern Israelis and Palestinians. Other terms for the same area include Canaan, Zion, the Land of Israel, Syria Palaestina, Southern Syria, Jund Filastin, Outremer, the Holy Land and the Southern Levant. Modern archaeologists and historians of the region refer to their field of study as Syro-Palestinian archaeology."

The Jews, for good or ill, now own the land. Yet, in order to have peace, they have agreed to break off a piece of their land for a belligerent Palestine, which is an invention of whole fiction - just for peace!

Newt was telling the truth.

To that instance, the ever-confused weekend Fox anchorette, Uma Pemmaraju, had a discussion about Newt's telling the truth, and, of course, had on a nihilist Progressive and a Romney supporter to discuss the independent and vocal, far more intelligent, and much more conservative Newt.

Now, I have a natural bias. I am a South Carolinian. South Carolina has always been, from the very beginning, a place where Jews have been welcomed, embraced, and encouraged to flourish. We KNOW how to light a Menorah.

Whomever you support for President, never forget that the Palestinian Movement is a militant Islamicist PR putsch, as well as a terrorist movement. At the heart of the movement is the annihilation and assimilation of the Jewish homeland. At the heart of the movement there is a falsehood. At the heart of the movement there is a fiction.

Newt wasn't being racist. He was telling the truth. Of course, to a liberal progressive, telling the truth IS racism, is it not?

Forget, Hell!
Now that Herman Cain is out of the race, those of us who supported him are being told by the very people who aced him out of the running with red herrings, dirt, and phony charges, that we should support them. While it is true - according to my sources and those of Matt Towery - that the actual crud was churned up by the Obama Chicago re-election campaign with a little help from Louisiana, the USER of the dirt was a very small group of agents from the Mitt Romney campaign, who were fed the info through a third party.

If, for no other reason than this cretinous action, Romney should be shunned by reasonable, ethical and/or moral Republicans. But there were many "Cocktail" Republicans who felt that it was Mitt's turn, and getting rid of what was considered to be Mitt's greatest challenger (at the time) was paramount. "So what," they said, "politics is a blood sport."

Right.

This is NOT the Republican Party I want to be a part of. I have supported Republican candidates for years because I am done with the Progressive party and its band of liars, lovers, and clowns, and have been since 1979. What Romney did - or at the very least, allowed - is what Progressives do. It's filth. I will have no part in it, and many people will not forget what he did to Herman Cain, even if they do go on to support another conservative Republican.

If you can stomach Romney and his "Obama lite" politics, more power to you. If honest men remain honest, it will NEVER be Mitt Romney's time.

Socialism and Nationalism
Are you kidding me? Cousin Teddy Roosevelt? Listen, Barry, you want to quote somebody, don't quote my second cousin, ok? I consider that an insult to the family. I also don't think you even approach the understanding of the concepts and the history of my family.

Cousin Teddy was pissed off with the big industrialists who wouldn't support him for another run for President under the Republican flag. He was vain enough to think that the Country would follow him into another party. He was dead wrong. He was wrong about socialism, too.

His Progressivism was more about his Roosevelt ego than helping anybody, although he found a way to combine the two. As Great Grandmother used to say when the subject of Cousin Teddy came up, "Thank God for the Finneys!"

So, if I were you, Mr. Wannabe Liberal President, I would look to somebody to quote that nobody knows about. That way, when you want to foment jealousy among Americans, you can lay it at the feet of someone they can't trace.

In any case, Barry has decided to get his PR flaks to call his new idea "New Nationalism." Since it's obviously Socialism - taking from the producers to give to the non-producers - that means he's a new Nationalist Socialist. Hmmmm. Where have we heard THAT phrase before???

I didn't know Barry spoke German.. Maybe THAT'S why he doesn't like Isreal, and England, and Canada..

Next thing you know, he'll be asking for living room.

LSU 42 - Georgia 10
That's not the Georgia Carolina beat. Gamecocks may not have beaten LSU, but they would have played a closer game. In any case, the two best teams in the country are Alabama and LSU. We have already seen the Championship Bowl Game. Would SOMEBODY please arrest the guy who thought up the BCS? Please?

Nice Win For Clemson
Now, that is the Clemson Carolina beat. On another note, that was the worst officiating I've seen this season - not that Clemson did not play well enough to win, they won the game, no doubt about it. But, the terrible referees reminded me of one of the reasons Carolina left the ACC - bunch of fumbling, incompetent convicts.

Herman Cain Suspends
Seems like everybody I want to be president drops out - and yes, I understand why he did it. To think, Fred Thompson could be sitting on a remarkable economic recovery, with America approaching dollar-gold parity, the recession having been dealt with two years ago, getting ready to run for a second term. Sigh.

Romney Behind Cain Shoot-Down
Matt Towery said on the Neal Boortz show, this morning, that he knows for a fact that Mitt Romney and his campaign are behind the mud slinging against Cain. Told ya.

What Towery knows and won't say is that the information comes from no less than the Obama campaign with a little help from the old Clinton election group. It was no coincidence that ABC arranged an interview with Cain's alleged mistress for George Stephanapolous.

I am sad that Cain was not wise enough to deal with this from the beginning - we have all fallen short of the Glory - but this is not something in the past, this is days ago, and it's a deal breaker for me. If it was wrong for Clinton, it's wrong for Herman Cain.

I had said, previously, that I would vote for a ham sandwich over Barack Obama. Romney, having proven himself, by this action, to be of a more fecal composition, makes it a sandwich of a like consistency, and impossible to digest - or support.

Frankly speaking, if Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate for President of the United States, I will vote for a third party candidate, as I do not vote for watery crap.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does
DJIA 490 points up? An 800 point swing in three days? Are you kidding me? The news from Europe hasn't changed. All they've done is make it harder for them to save themselves from their own profligacy.

And sure enough, it's the Fed enabling them like a weak brother of an alcoholic, as I reported to you a couple of days ago. Through the Fed, we are insuring the liquidity of Europe - but it will only work IF they pay it back. It's stupid to think they will throw off socialistic practices all of a sudden. They can't.

Heck, the banks around the world don't even trust each other! The system is NOT stable.

The fact that the opaque Federal Reserve loaned trillions of dollars to Europe through American multi-national banks, two years ago, certainly proves that they have the lack of morals necessary to lend a mere 800-Billion by dollar-swapping. And don't forget that we taxpayers are on the hook for ALL OF IT, when those foreign countries who support those banks default, AS THEY SURELY WILL.

In a fortnight, they will be right back where they were, because they aren't going to change their spendthrift behavior. Only Progressives and other morons think this money-printing will work. You cannot loan or tax and spend your way out of recession - KEYNES WAS WRONG. The Federal Reserve is a Keynesian device.

Right now, the market continues moving sideways as the hogs continue to fight over parcels in the market. My fear, however, is that the market will crash - by 2-3,000 points, and soon. I hope I am wrong.
