The Hate and Anger Party
Much of the time at the Democrat Convention was taken up by angry shouting from the podium.  They must have been trying to wake up all those dead voters before the election.  Perhaps they are just angry that the rest of us don’t appreciate their superiority, or that we would rather not subsidize Sandra Fluke’s sex life.  They are certain we don’t have the civility of a  Maxine Waters, Alan Grayson, or Al Sharpton.  We would rather push old ladies off the cliff.  At least we don’t want to kill the other candidate!

The Planet Zumar Party
Debbie Wasserman Schultz isn’t the only Democrat in an alternate universe. Only in that alternate universe are the fictional facts coming from the podium true.  Only on Planet Zumar can men of character like George W. Bush and Mitt Romney be evil villains while Chappaquiddick Teddy and the lecherous Bill Clinton be candidates for political sainthood.  On Planet Zumar they are better off than 4 years ago and millions of new jobs have been created.

The Parasite Party
The hall in Charlotte echoed with code-words like “fair share,” “shared responsibility,” and “we’re all in this together.”  Of course, they didn’t dare say, “We believe in robbing the productive to buy some more votes.”  (They may need some more this time.)
If there is any defining “principle” of the Democrat Party, it is creating more parasites who depend on the party to extort money for them.  Only on Planet Zumar is spreading the wealth around good for everybody.

The Bankruptcy Party
Not satisfied with the covered-wagon pace both parties have been proceeding down the road to national bankruptcy, the Democrats have fired up the new Big-O red Ferrari and roared down the road.  Maybe that’s what “Forward” really means.  Not content with bankrupting the country, their regulations, mandates, and Washington-knows-best attitude have driven many a business out of business.

The God is Dead Party
The loud NO votes against even a passing reference to God in the platform was certainly an eye-opener, especially in a country where most voters believe in God.  The ACLU must be proud.  Cardinal Timothy Dolan, included at the last minute because he was at the RNC, probably is not.  Kudos to the Cardinal for standing up for moral principles while in enemy territory.

The Hoax Party
As Clint Eastwood said:

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

The Deep Bow Party
The administration’s posture on yesterday’s riot and murder in the middle east is no surprise, coming from a President who bends over backwards to placade Islam and bows forward to world leaders (must be a bad back).  Undoubtably he is getting good advice from the Democrat “experts” on foreign policy like John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Hilary Clinton.  Foreign relations are expected to improve next year when he has “more flexibility.”

The Lawyers’ Party
Presidential candidates in the party of John Edwards always seem to be lawyers.  All the better to pass 2000-page laws nobody wants.  In return for all those political contributions, the party ensures Americans have the “right” to play the “Sue and Win the Jackpot game.”

The Mara Party
Mara is the Buddhist evil one, the personification of what is in all human beings which prevent the living of a virtuous life.  Mara would try to prevent anyone from following the Five Precepts (rules of training) to refrain from: (1) Destroying living beings (2) Taking what is not given (3) wrongdoing in sexual desires (4) Speaking falsely, and (5) taking intoxicants.  Mara seems to have influenced the heroes of the Democrat Party, who have violated all of these.  Most are violated by the platform, and the statements and actions of prominent Democrats seem to be in line with Mara.

The Il Duce Party
The way The One frequently sticks his nose up in the air and his head slightly to one side is nearly identical to Mussolini.  An apt analogy for the party which trumpets the idea the we all belong to government, just as in Benito’s fascist Italy where the state was everything:

All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.

The Il Duce Party is not getting my vote, nor are any of the others.  The list of new names could be longer.  No doubt Red Staters can come up with some other good ideas.

The second image was of a CNN reporter covering a demonstration from Saddam’s Baghdad, which she called “spontaneous.”

Not long after I returned to the US, I suffered through the 2008 Presidential election.  My wife had tuned into the CBS Evening News where we saw reported as “news” little more than a Democrat campaign ad.  An angry letter to the station manager went unanswered.  Not long after, I read in the local newspaper, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, their endorsement of Obama, in which they said his lack of experience was trumped by his work as a community organizer.  I kid you not!  An angry letter to the editor went unpublished.

Looking for accuracy and balance in the legacy media is like Diogenes wandering around ancient Greece with a lantern searching for an honest man.

The lantern seemed to reveal a slight shadow with Katie Pavlich’s report of Fast and Furious in October, 2011, and a Solyndra report in January, 2012.  Diogenes is still looking.

Diogenes cannot expect much from the media that publicized Sarah Palin’s e-mails, but refused to release the Obama-Khalidi video.  This is the media that promoted the administration’s BS of “reproductive rights,” and had no comment on nonsense such as this.  This is the media who are quiet about President Obama’s illegal immigration and welfare work actions, but persist in asking about Mitt Romney’s tax returns.

Legacy media malpractice has been well-documented.  There isn’t much for Diogenes’ lantern to illuminate.  Many suspicious stories remain under-reported.  Still, a single investigative reporter could brighten Diogenes’ night.  Here are some suggestions for any old-media reporters wishing to win the Diogenes Award:

The revelation of sealed court records of Obama’s Senate campaign opponents Jack Ryan and Blair Hull in 2004

LightSquared and the FCC

Tactics used in the 2008 Iowa and Texas primary caucuses

Hillary Clinton’s overnight futures profit

Eric Holder and Bill Clinton’s pardon of FALN terrorists in 1999

Eric Holder and Bill Clinton’s  pardon of Marc Rich

The murder of Lt. Quarles Harris, Jr

The release of Herman Cain’s personnel records from the National Restaurant Association (NRA)

The raid on Gibson Guitars

New Coastal Zone Regulations

Offshore drilling moratorium

Overseas contributions to the 2008 Obama campaign

The pressuring of banks to accept bailouts they didn’t want

The preference of unions over bondholders in the GM bankruptcy

IRS audits of Tea Party organizations and Romney contributors.

Media Matters White House connections

SEIU White House connections

Obama’s relationship with ACORN

Lies about Obamacare

I’m sure there are more.  Good hunting, “investigative journalists!”

Judging from the comments, those who do stop by have already been thinking.  These visitors may expand their views and receive some reassurance they are not alone, but they don’t need to be persuaded.  The hard-left aren’t likely to come here, and wouldn’t be receptive to other points of view anyway.  Perhaps enough open-minded individuals will stumble onto the site, change their minds, and cast the deciding votes in a very close election.  Well, maybe.

Sometimes, while doing my 43rd revision of the next article, I wonder if it does any good.  The 2010 election was promising, people seem increasingly concerned about the direction of the nation, but I imagine few of them ever read one of my articles.  The effects of an article are unknown, like putting a message in a bottle and sending it out to sea.  Letters to representatives seem to be ineffective.   My Democratic Senator must think I am Rodney Dangerfield judging from her response to my critical remarks, namely a robo e-mail reply and adding me to her fundraising list.   Did Thomas Paine or Samuel Adams have similar doubts?  Perhaps, but they never stopped providing the intellectual ammunition to keep the revolutionary spirit alive.

In war, victory is achieved by destroying the other side’s weapons faster than they can be replaced.  In a political or philosophical war, victory is achieved by demolishing the other side’s arguments faster than they can be rebuilt.  In the spirit of Paine and Adams, sites like American Thinker provide some ammunition for those on the front lines to do some demolishing, but the writer doesn’t know if his ammo was ever used.

Thinking of futility brings to mind an episode of Little House on the Prairie.   A minister was preaching in a nearly empty church, undeterred by the sound of drunken gunfire from the saloon across the street.  He wasn’t converting anyone, but kept the flock from straying so later they could exert a civilizing influence, which, in the real West, they did.

The signers of The Declaration of Independence, facing a seemingly hopeless cause, pledged to each other “…our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”   Surely, I can do no less.  Theirs is a debt yet unpaid.

Researching my family history, I discovered most of my ancestors lived through the American Revolution.  Simple farmers, mostly, they crossed what was then the country, settled new lands, and endured hardships we can only imagine in our comfortable lives.  If I can do something here, however small, it may help repay what I owe them.  Thousands of other debts are yet unpaid, the Navy pilots at Midway, the Marines at Iwo Jima, the young soldiers on Little Round Top, the ragged Continental Army, just to name a few.

But historical inspirations pale next to a real-life experience.  I was timing my daughter’s swim meet when a pretty 9-year old girl came up to swim.  She was missing the fingers on both hands.  Such a fate might have dragged many of us down, but she smiled enthusiastically as she clapped and cheered on her teammates.   If that little heroine can carry on happily, then I can sit down and write some more.

Excuse me while I brew up some tea.

THE VALUES OF PERICLES

Pericles is the name I’ve given the red-tailed hawk we see circling over the empty field behind our house.  In Pericles’ natural state, his actions are based on what enhances his own life.   In Pericles’ value system, it is good to be for himself.  Were hawks, or any other creature, not for themselves, they would already be extinct.

The left cringe at the idea of humans using Pericles’ values, dismissing any who do with emotional labels like selfish, unfeeling, lacking compassion, and even immoral, as if it were wrong to act for one’s own benefit.

Clearly not fond of Pericles’ values, President Obama, in recent campaign speeches, has criticized the opposition:

“And their philosophy, what there is of it, seems to be pretty simple: We’re better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves, and everybody can play by their own rules.”

Evidently 34,000 pages of federal regulations are not enough to prevent everybody from “playing by their own rules.”  Since I don’t know anyone playing by their own rules, the word “everybody” is false (a lie).  People I know attempt to follow the law.  Despite mountains of regulations, the President likes to say, “We can’t go back,” as if we had been living in some kind of wild-west, laissez faire society before his election.

The President doesn’t want to “leave” everybody to fend for themselves, so the opposite philosophy, “everybody is not allowed to fend for themselves,” will be forced on us.  If we cannot be for ourselves, we will be dependent on others to be for us.  Kant would be proud.

The President’s insulting statement implies we are incapable of fending for ourselves.  Apparently, he believes  government has not been capable of fending for us either, despite 2200 federal assistance programs, and 1300 federal agencies.

So that no one has to go to the trouble of fending for themselves, the Democrats offer an alternative, the parasite society, in which men are forced to fend for others.  Such a society, by its nature, sets citizens in conflict with each other.  Some are allowed to be the parasites, and the others are supposed to accept being the hosts.  Objections are dealt with by force.  The golden rule in the parasite society is, “Do unto others what they are not allowed to do unto you.”

Pericles is neither a parasite nor a host. He is for himself, but not against his fellow hawks.  In fact, I have seen them hunting together. Rational self-interest works well in a society.  One who is responsible for his own life, without forcing others, does not conflict with his fellow man.  Such a person follows the original Golden Rule, and expects the rule of law to be the same for all.  Individuals in such a society are not in conflict.

Philosophers such as John Locke, understood that Pericles’ values are essential to minimizing conflicts in society:

“Thus, individual sovereignty, for one and all, is the key to understanding, accepting, and preserving the natural state of man and the civil society.”

In part due to John Locke’s influence, the central concept of the new nation created by the Founders was that the individual be as free from government interference as possible. Everybody is to be left alone so they are able to fend for themselves.

To be allowed to fend for yourself not only seems like common sense, but produces positive results.  Individuals acting in their own interest not only better themselves, but also help lift everyone.  The incredible array of products in the supermarket are there because those “evil” corporations want to make a profit for themselves, not because they are obliged, or forced, to sacrifice for the consumers.

Individuals acting for themselves made the United States an economic powerhouse.  People left more or less alone to pursue their fortunes drove  dramatic American economic expansions such as the post-civil war period and the “roaring twenties.”  Should they not have been allowed to fend for themselves?

Pericles once landed on the railing of our deck and looked back at me with a proud, intense stare as if to say, “Don’t mess with me!”  Pericles wants to live his life without interference.  The human values of pride, self-responsibility, and individualism might be said to apply to him. It’s easy to see why his cousin, the eagle, was chosen the symbol of the United States of America!  The Democrats  are not fond of pride, self-responsibility, and individualism, and would likely replace the eagle with the ever-mooching pigeon, if not the leech.  The struggle of our lifetime, and definitely the 2012 election, is between the values of Pericles and those of the pigeons.

I have noticed your recent campaign ads on the St. Louis TV stations, those evil Republicans who want to take away granny’s medicare, and those evil multimillionaires and oil companies.  Spare me!  Can’t you people ever come up with anything new?  This is so trite and fake!  Don’t you have something positive to say?  Why don’t you run on your record?  Well, on second thought, with your record you can’t.
You should worry, because we haven’t forgotten your voting record, especially how you shafted us on Obamacare.  A lot of us will be voting for the Republican, no matter who it is.
I’m sure some staffer will delete this, and you will never read it, but I’m sending it anyway.  If you miss it, you can go over to redstate.com where it will be posted by daconia (that’s me).  If you are open-minded (?) you might find some interesting reading there.
I’m also including below my previous letter to you which you probably missed as well.

Good bye and good riddance,

Sincerely,

Ma’am,

As promised in my previous letter, I will no longer refer to you as Senator because your yes vote on the “health care” bill violates your most basic duty as a Senator.  The Constitutional purpose of a Senator is to represent their state, but your yes vote will burden your own state with unfunded Medicaid liabilities.  If that were not enough, you have voted for Missourians to pay the Medicaid liabilities for Nebraska.  If you are not in Congress to represent Missouri, what are you there for?

Despite the anger at your town hall meetings in August, e-mails and phone calls to your office, and numerous polls, you have voted for something the majority of Americans do not want.  You have flashed the bird to your own constituents.  If you are not in Congress to represent the people, what are you there for?

Despite the clear and obscene violation of the Constitution and the rights of the people, you have voted for this 2000+ page manure pile.  You seem to have no reservations about the use of force against your fellow Americans.  I suggest while you are on Christmas break, you read the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and other writings of the Founders, because you don’t seem to have a clue what the Constitution is about.  If you are not in Congress to uphold the Constitution, what are you there for?

You stated on Fox News that you would vote against any bill that is not “deficit neutral.”  This program is in deficit every year of its operation, even if you believe the CBO estimate.  For you to vote for this bill indicates you are either profoundly stupid or a liar.  In neither case should you be in the U.S. Senate.

You also stated that you would vote against any bill that increased out-of-pocket costs for people, yet this bill does increase costs for many even by the CBO’s estimation.

You, ma’am, think the American people are so gullible they will believe that this program will reduce the deficit.  We don’t buy it!! You, ma’am, think the American people are so gullible they will believe you can pay for this with more than 460 billion dollars of savings from Medicare.  We don’t buy it!!

I will not cooperate with your attempt to use force against me, and neither will many Americans:

- I will refuse to purchase government-mandated health insurance.  Any attempt to use other people’s money to help me pay will not work.  I will refuse!

- I will refuse to pay any fine for not purchasing insurance.

- I will participate in any effort to block and reverse this unconstitutional abuse of power.

If you intend to use force against me, be prepared to go all the way.

You voted for a bill that bought the votes of other Senators with hundreds of millions of dollars, paid in part by Missouri taxpayers.  You can call it what you may, I call it corruption!

A visit to your government web site is like a visit to Never-Never Land, everything is fine and you and the Congress are doing wonderful things.  This is like wallpaper pasted over an outhouse.  Evidently you think your constituents are easily fooled.

Your yes vote ensures your defeat in the next election.  Even an unknown ugly, bald, old guy like me with a closet full of skeletons could defeat you.  Regrettably we will have to wait until 2012, but then it’s adios and good riddance.

By then it will also be adios and good riddance to Dear Leader, you know, the one who cocks his nose up in the air like Mussolini, and whose favorite word is “I”.  I know you are very fond of Dear Leader.   If you think most Missourians share your fondness, think again.  The attitude of most of us was summed up in the loud chorus of boos at the all-star game in St. Louis.   Those in this administration would never be allowed past my front door, and neither would you.

Ma’am, you and your party stink!  While trampling us under their feet, they complain about our not being civil.  The Democratic party has become corrupt, arrogant, radical, and tyrannical.   Your support of this party reveals you to be incredibly naive.  The Democratic party is destined for the trash bin of American history, and I will do everything in my power to help it on its miserable way.

Signed,

I was very disappointed to hear of your apology to “Ms” Fluke.  She doesn’t deserve it!  The word you used describes her behavior exactly .  Of course, we all know that the behavior of a liberal is beyond criticism.  Only we, the unwashed masses uneducated into liberalism, can be criticized.

Has anyone ever apologized for calling us “bitter clingers” or “teabaggers?”  Has anyone ever said they were sorry for even one of the names you have been called?  Has anyone apologized to President George W. Bush for calling him Hitler?  Has anyone apologized to Robert Bork, or for all the nasty stuff said about Sarah Palin?  Has anyone apologized to Cindy McCain, or for threatening the life of Joe the Plumber?

My father taught me to respect people so long as they deserve it, but if they prove to be undeserving, go for it!  Believe me, Rush, these people are undeserving of your apology.  What I really think about them is unfit for publication.  The most awful vitriol and hate comes out of their mouths, yet we are supposed to be “civil.”  Well, Rush, I am not going to be civil to a bunch of people whose boot is on my throat.   I am not going to hold back my opinion of people who disrespect the values and customs of my country.  I will not pretend words don’t mean what they mean.  I am not going to say I’m sorry to people who trample on the Constitution of my beloved nation.   NEVER!!

As heartwarming as the day is, dark spots still remain in the land.  Californians pushed the accelerator to the floor to speed even faster on the liberal path that has been leading the state to destruction.  Super liberals like Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Henry Waxman will return to Congress.  Jerry Brown will be governor again.  Perhaps the California state motto should be changed to “The Moonbeam State.”   What were California voters thinking?  Maybe they weren’t!  If there is any redeeming factor about Jerry Brown, it is that he can think out of the box, usually way out of it, a needed skill considering the mess the state finds itself in.   The new governor shouldn’t count on the rest of us bailing them out.

Various “Moonbeam” candidates were elected across the land, including Harry Reid, who mysteriously won by 5 points on election day after being down in the polls.  ??  Barney Frank, Coons, Dingell, Blumenthal, Schumer, Cuomo, and other moonbeamers remain as dark splotches on an otherwise sunny day.  How is it these people are elected?   What were voters thinking?  Maybe they weren’t!  Perhaps voters simply chose the one who can bring home someone else’s bacon.   Maybe they fell for the line that anyone who believes in the principles of the country’s founding is a dangerous, radical extremist.  Count me in!

A caller to 97.1 Talk Radio in St. Louis told of overhearing a conversation between two young voters who were voting to prevent the Republicans from “taking away our free health care.”   Is this what we have come to, a nation of moochers?  Is this what elects a Barbara Boxer?   The two young voters need to realize the people are increasingly fed up with moochers.   Too many parasites are killing the host.  John Galt is speaking, but some are not listening.  What are voters thinking?   Maybe they aren’t!

Perhaps many voters still believe in “hope and change.”  Harry Reid, in his victory speech, said:

Nevada chose hope over fear.

What they were supposed to fear isn’t clear.  Perhaps the Senator feared being restrained by the Constitution.  If Nevada chose “hope,” they fell for the same old Obama slogan, which in essence means “magic.”  Voters who chose such a candidate on the basis of “hope” have voted for a magical fantasy, pasting their wants upon the word “hope.”  They must believe Harry can still make the fantasy come true.  Never mind that it isn’t working and has never worked.  As Spock would say, “This is illogical.”  Of course, being logical requires thinking.  What were they thinking?  Maybe they weren’t!

What is distressing about liberal acceptance speeches is that they are always talking about fighting.  Again, Harry Reid:

…to fight for each of you.
I’m not finished fighting.

I don’t know for whom he is fighting, but it is definitely not for me.   More likely, it is for moochers and his union supporters and against me. When I hear a politician talk about fighting, a red flag goes up.  Did voters think Harry was going to fight for them?  If so, who is he fighting against?  Is someone resisting giving up their bacon?

It is depressing and embarrassing to see some of my fellow Americans vote for the likes of Barbara Boxer and Barney Frank.  Clearly they have not been linking to places like Red State or American Thinker.  Maybe they should.

The fire in my pen will remain. This is a lifetime effort.  None of us can retire early, for we have a sacred duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, for the moonbeamers will not.
In the end the American people will reclaim our Republic.  As Winston Churchill said:

You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they’ve tried everything else.

Your treatment of us, the American People, as a bunch of dunces unable to appreciate your elitist wisdom, is going to come back at you very hard!  Your use of force against us will destroy your party.

I, for one, will never, as long as I live, vote for any Democrat for any office.  Your party’s arrogant disregard for the will of the people earns it a place in the dust bin of American history.  Your party’s corruption and radicalism will eventually leave it marginalized, only able to win votes in isolated far-left regions of the country.

I, for one, will resist, by all peaceful means, your coercive acts.  I WILL NOT cooperate in any way with your “healthcare” mandates.  As they were fond of saying in 1776, …..DON’T TREAD ON ME!

They need to experience the Cowpens strategy.  At the Revolutionary War battle of Cowpens, the militias fired three rounds at the oncoming British, then, as planned, rotated out.  The British, thinking they had routed the enemy, came on into the withering fire of the Continentals, suffering severe losses.  Likewise, Congress is coming on in thinking they have won.  Let them have the second round.  Open fire!

While non-violent, we should feel no need to be civil to those who are trampling us underfoot.  I have already started firing my literary musket (It was not civil):

Dear Ma’am

Merely returning the lump of coal you sent me for Christmas, Senator Ma’am!
