Will Audacity Be the Theme? It will have to unless Obama gets a lobotomy

First page of Constitution of the United StatesImage via WikipediaIn this campaign of which the so called 'President' has already embarked upon, one might wonder

*  Will Obama wear the Flag pin showing his patriotic "love" for this country and its people?
     If so ~ How will he explain his change of a staunch unyielding stance he took while giving us a clear indication, hard, fast evidence that this Bum is ANTI-AMERICAN?

     If not ~ Will the Media snap out of it and give him grief for it THIS time?  Will he admit that it's symbolic of his resentment for this nation, and Western civilization, hence the subsequent returning of the bust of Winston Churchill to the U.K. and the endless list of anti-American action and inaction that kept us shaking our heads for the first half and into the second half of his term?   He will HAVE to admit to his resentment and desire to destroy this country for everything it was founded upon and all it stands for.   Weaken us, break down our economy, build up a super power Government, coalesce with thugs and conscienceless scumbags.  The Immigration reform meeting that left out every Governor of every border state and all members of government in all border states, period..inviting AL SHARPTON?!! Michael the mayor of NYC Bloomberg, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Bozo the Fucking Clown!! Are you fucking kidding me? ok, calm, breathe.. The educated idiots, E.I.  (Lenin called them useful idiots) who follow the pied piper into the sewer of disease, illness, despair, disgust, and destruction.

What has he done? Rewind to 2008... The grandiose Hopey Changey thing he proclaimed like a prophetic savior... "Beware the Prophet who speaks so perfectly and seeks a Profit"... His gain, Our Pain.  MY GOD, what other evidence does an ignoramous need?... (wow, this storm is crazy, the power just went out for longer than a flash.. it's wicked out there, yeah, the weather too)..

Had to post before I lost a connection, which I did, but it went through anyway.

This absolute atrocity really gets me and thank God, so many others, so worked up and outraged by disbelief that this could be happening in the United States of America.  Thank the Angels above that an entire movement has jumped on board and kicked it into high gear by the thousands, hundreds of thousands.... It was just a mere several hundred when I first woke up from my ignorant bliss, my dream world, to this insane night mare.  I put these thoughts down as they come, when I'm up for it, as sometimes I can't get it from my thoughts through the CNS to the tips of my fingers.. sometimes it flows effortlessly...  So I leave these small thoughts, the tiny drops in a bucket full of gallons of poisonous liquid Obama is trying to force us to drink.

Remember... This man has waged fiscal warfare against the United States. He ignored, completely disrespected and IGNORED the Oversight Committee's subpoena of the documents that should hold on record where our trillions of dollars have gone... No receipts, no answer, no clue, no impressive metropolis with an underwater world or airspace highway of Jetson style air frisbees.  What the fuck did that thieving lying narcissist spend our money on.  Him and Pelosi went on a binge spending spree and kept NO records?!! BULLSHIT!!!

This man waged internal legislative warfare with the GOP, putting the guise of the Tea Party dissention with the Republicans as the reason for a stalemate.  This psychopath's refusal to give in, compromise, and put a hold on his love affair with spending money on God only knows what and also caused Standard and Poor's to report (regardless of Obama's request for them to keep the information out of the public domain, CRIMINAL, like an inside trader) an impending negative rating on our dollar and our economic standing, basically a AAA rating to a negative, which means fuck the debt ceiling, we won't get a stick of gum on credit.   Mexico won't trade a peso for a buck, we'll be a third world country.... The weakened, sick, divided we fell, spot of useless land...

The storm is blowing like an omen in the dark.  I don't like being too close to the windows, which is what my place is surrounded by--- picture windows, big windows all around it.  Going to the center where it's safe.. Actually, the right side of center is the best place to be right now.  God Bless, good night.

HISTORY CAN TEACH US ~ The Pivot Then, The Pivot is necessary NOW

Winston Churchill and the Pivot of History



Rate This

If there can said to be true turning points in history, when the future of mankind seems to pivot on the outcome of a single event, perhaps the afternoon of May 9, 1940, 70 years ago, might qualify.  This was the day  that British prime minister  Neville Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax ,Government whip David Margesson and  First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill conferred over scotch and cigars at 10 Downing Street on the future of Chamberlain’s Conservative government.

By that time Britain had been at war with Germany for eight months but had  little to show for it.   Germany had invaded and then crushingly defeated Poland and Czechoslovakia the previous Fall.  Denmark had capitulated in April in less than 12 hours with barely a fight.   Norway, where the British Expeditionary Force had fought a two week, half-hearted and poorly planned campaign, was fighting a losing battle for its existence against overwhelming German force.

But even more devastatingly, British intelligence reported that Belgium, the Netherlands  and Luxembourg were likely to be invaded within hours by the advancing Wehrmacht – its aim a lightning Panzer strike on France itself through the Ardennes.  The Blitzkrieg, confined at that time to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, was now ripping through the heart of Europe and rumbling dangerously close to home.

Neville Chamberlain, whose policies of appeasement had led Britain into such dire straits, was being increasingly ridiculed in Parliament and had suffered a division in the House of Commons only the day before on the issues of his governmental stewardship.  Although Chamberlain won the contest, his usual muscular majority of 250 was reduced to a feeble 80 – which was read as a bitter, humiliating defeat.
At this point, Chamberlain had two options:  He could attempt to form his own national government, bringing in Labour and the Liberals members into a unity coalition.  Or he could resign and hand over his prime ministerial responsibilities to another man more capable of inspiring the confidence of parliament and the citizenry.  He chose to go on.  Yet when the answer returned that neither Labour nor the Liberal leaders would serve under him, he accepted that he had no choice but to tender his resignation to the King.

The four men sitting together at Downing Street, then had to make a fateful decision about the leadership succession. Chamberlain’s own choice was Halifax, a man who had loyally supported his policies of appeasement and had demonstrated little taste for war.

Churchill, the alternate choice, had many things going against him.   He was intensely distrusted by senior members of his own Conservative Party, who saw him as vainglorious and unstable.  Members of the Opposition had been aggrieved by his steadfast commitment to Chamberlain’s lackadaisical conduct of the war (he had been appointed as First Lord of the Admiralty in September) and largely blamed him for the Norwegian fiasco.
Moreover, there was Churchill’s resistance to the idea himself.   Once in government, he had become a loyal supporter of Chamberlain and had even mounted a vigorous defense of the prime minister when he was denounced in Parliament the day before.  He made it clear to Chamberlain that he would accept any decision the prime minister made about a successor.   For the young and aggressive back-benchers who had, since Munich, been clamoring for a Churchill prime-ministership, this was deeply puzzling, if not tantamount to a betrayal.

The one thing that tipped the balance was Halifax himself.   Noting how difficult it might prove to lead the government during wartime from the House of Lords, he made it clear that he didn’t want the job, even if there was support from the Commons.   After he made that comment, a long silence followed and Chamberlain, looking at Churchill, designated him as his heir.


How the world might have looked today if things has swung the other way and Halifax had accepted Chamberlain’s choice is one of the truly great counter-factual questions of history.   For Halifax was not a fighter, nor a particularly inspiring figure.  A sense of his thinking on the matter of war and peace was revealed two weeks later when the Italians sent feelers to the British government to help negotiate a separate peace between the U.K. and Germany.   Churchill had retained Halifax (along with a number of Chamberlain’s appeaser crew) in his government in an effort to maintain continuity.  Halifax argued aggressively for a peace treaty with Hitler, essentially conceding the European continent to the German dictator.  This, he argued, might keep the British fleet in tact and allow the U.K, to use its over stretched resources to defend against grave threats to the British Empire in Asia and the Pacific.

After four days of heated debate, Churchill rejected Halifax’s proposals out of hand and soon enough went on to rally not only Parliament but the entire nation behind his defiant policy.  “Then and there,”  historian John Lukacs has written, ”Churchill saved Britain and Europe and Western civilization.”

But what if it had been Halifax in charge and not Churchill who led  that cabinet debate in late May?   The likely outcome would have been a peace treaty that surrendered not just the Continent, but also Britain’s control of the Atlantic, giving the Germans effective command, through unrestricted submarine warfare, of its sea lanes.   The United States would then have stood alone, relatively unprepared, as the sole major world democracy facing totalitarian challenges on two fronts.

Recognizing American vulnerability, the Japanese might well have stepped up their planned attack on Pearl Harbor to December, 1940 – a year early, giving the United States little time for its rearmament  program to have any significant impact on the war’s  outcome.    The Soviet Union, after many setbacks, including the destruction of Moscow and the defeat of Stalingrad, but drawing on its enormous human resources, may have recovered sufficiently to force back a German retreat, which would have led to the Russians’ ultimate advance on Berlin.

Without the presence of Allied forces to prevent their progress, the Soviet armies would have quickly swept into France, Spain and Italy and crushed any resistance.   The entire European continent would inevitably have come under the shadow of Communist rule, leaving a brittle, ineffectual Britain and a struggling United States to defend the last bastion of world democracy.   In such a scenario, the Cold War might have taken on a completely different complexion, as the appeasement of an indomitable Soviet Union became the governing foreign policy of a succession of American administrations.

Not many people today realize how close the world came in those crucial Spring days to the utter decimation of Western civilization.  It was the West’s great fortune to produce a man of Winston Churchill’s charisma, energy and fighting spirit at the moment of its greatest challenge.  As prosaic as it may sound, this one man did indeed stand on the division between a world given over to slavery and oppression and one where freedom and liberty are both cherished and defended.   He understood the stakes and appreciated the importance of his role.  Would we have leaders today who are similarly endowed with such a breadth of vision and greatness of purpose.

Their absence is made all the more glaring by Churchill’s extraordinary example.

Winston Churchill and Western Civilization


The Western Civilization is by far the most outstanding, brilliant, inventive, creative, freest, diverse civilization which has brought technological progress and betterment for mankind in terms of standard of living, health, freedom, freedom of speech, individual liberty, equality, human rights, just law and a myriad of other achievements through providing the qualities necessary for man's intellect and genius to prosper than no other civilization in the history of mankind.
Our civilization, culture and way of life is in danger from exterior forces with a retrovision of the dark ages and barbarism motivated by a religious ideology of supremacism and conquest.
Our goal is to defend our Civilization, Freedom Of Expression and to raise awareness about the very issues which threatens our freedoms, way of life and society.

Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message.”- - Sir Winston Churchill on Adolf Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf, in The Second World War, Vol. I (The Gathering Storm).

“In a very few years, perhaps in a very few months, we shall be confronted with demands with which we shall no doubt be invited to comply. Those demands may affect the surrender of territory or the surrender of liberty. I foresee and foretell that the policy of submission will carry with it restrictions upon the freedom of speech and debate in Parliament, on public platforms, and discussions in the press, for it will be said--indeed, I hear it said sometimes now - that we cannot allow the Nazi system of dictatorship to be criticized by ordinary, common English politicians. Then, with a press under control, in part direct but more potently indirect, with every organ of public opinion doped and chloroformed into acquiescence, we shall be conducted along further stages of our journey.” -- Sir Winston Churchill

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The man who holds a huge part in Western Civilization as we've enjoyed it for so long we've taken it for granted also had a vision that kept "Peace Treaties" such as those at Munich from allowing him
to feel at ease. He had a sense that Russian Communism and Nazi German were imminent
threats, and his vision and "paranoia" seemed to be more than that, they were
Harsh Realities that cost millions of lives.  The myth that he knew the holocaust
was taking place and he could crack German codes is absurd.  He spoke,
He tried, but a one man army he couldn't be,and with the naysayers he
was helpless and despite outside optimism and encouraging attitudes,
these facts ate him up iniside. There are a bunch of us who 
see modern day Winston Churchills in some brave brilliant
leaders today, Allen West to Geert Wilders, but they
suffer the same frustrations of appeasers, deniers
IDIOTS who are aiders and abettors to the 
demise of our civilized Western way of life,
to the demise of our lives, period. When 
the Genocide begins, we are among the
first to hit the ditches, six feet under
or six inches, either way, dignity
will not be a factor, no glorious
headstones filled with accomplishments
just dirt thrown on multiple bodies
like those of the jews in Nazi Germany
Bring on the Modern Day Winston Churchills We couldn't need you more than we do now, more than ever.
