Are We Like the Romans?

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

We often talk about the fall of the Roman Empire, but we don’t do anything about it. Let me try. Most of us, me included, do not speak Latin or Greek so, if we are interested in reading the ancient philosophers whose writings helped form the basis of our western culture, we must rely on the interpretation of those classics by modern scholars who do understand how they apply to our modern world today. With that understanding, the parallels become frightening!

The worlds once greatest empire, the Roman Empire, extensively written about in the classics,  existed for over a millennia and covered a vast area of Europe and Africa. The strength of Its existence was its strong foundation based on Roman Law (the Constitution) until, for convenience, the law was circumvented, first by the Emperor (think Obama), then the powerful (think the Clinton’s), and then by anyone else who could get away with it (think the Democrats).

As a result, Roman Law weakened until it was inevitably ignored altogether and the once amending principles of public discourse turned into static positions as solid and unmovable as concrete, resulting in no agreement, no compromise and certainly no advancement. Sport, sensuous pleasure and dissipation were the compromise issues of the day to which all acceded.

Politically, respect for other opinions died and debate was supplanted by tribal loyalties where competitive arguments were only solved on the fields of combat. Here, we use the ballot box. The Romans, at first, absorbed other cultures making them Romans too including, later, the Barbarians (Germans, Celts, Huns) who really didn’t want to be Romans and worked to eventually undermine the Roman Republic. They too were absorbed until they turned on their protectors.

By comparison, today, many Americans, especially democrats, seemingly don’t want to be Americans any more and don’t want the rest of us to be Americans either. To bolster their positions, because America is bounded by two oceans, they import their own foreign barbarians (Islam) who definitely don’t want to be Americans and, are actually intent on introducing their own philosophy (Shariah Law) as Allah’s gifted principles for a happy existence for everyone.

In the end, the great Roman empire is now just Italy, a holiday destination. The former Greek empire of Alexander the Great, is now a bankrupt, motley little collection of islands immobilized at the hands German Bankers (the EU), the former barbarians of old, and Spain, once over run by Visigoths then Muslims, is barely hanging on to its own European identity.

Back then, issues were argued by oratory in public forums. Today, screaming barbarians disrupt Town Halls. The third actor in the play, the Mediocre Media has lost any pretense to objectivity and, by its own account, is attempting the realignment of the American mind along ideological lines it thinks we need to embrace, which includes the unlimited immigration that is bent on destroying our American democracy. They have altered the free flow of information and freedom of thought by believing it’s their responsibility to tell us what to think. They’re in a fight now!

Donald Trump promised he would drain the swamp of its corruption, I hope it includes the Mediocre Media. Trump, like the barbarians of old who lacking stealth were content to just bash in the helmets of anyone standing before them, is using his own weapons, like Tweets, to bash the Mediocre Media into submission. Ossified as they are, the MM will, in its turn, eventually succumb to the lessons of truth and learn its own lesson in objectivity. Only then can America become great again. We can’t, so long as the hounds are braying at our heels.

Who Is Obama?

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Philosophers, even as far back as Aristotle and probably earlier, have tried to explain the difference between man and God in logical, understandable terms. It hasn’t been done, but scripture does tell us man is made in God’s image. But man, looking around him see’s that that could not possibly be so because of the many imperfections man possesses. Maybe man could do it better! That has opened a can of worms to haunt us forever. The operative word that encompasses the whole concept of religion, is “faith.” Either one has it or one does not!

America’s founding documents acknowledge, indeed trumpet the reality of divine providence by actually crediting God with providing the gifts of life, liberty, freedom and etc. Philosophically speaking, our founding fathers credit God with gifting America with the divine providence that America has enjoyed for over two centuries. Religious scholars argue that it’s in man’s providence to lose God’s favor, by choice, as the last forty years have seemed to prove.

In Religion, as in politics, people are fractured into separate groups as disparate churches, each staking a position of having “true belief” through direct communication with God. If they claim so, who can deny it? But, In the book of James, anyone with faith is given that ability. If that’s true, then why do we have organized religion? Well, follow the money!

Political philosophers, like Marx, Engels and Lenin, threw out God as the “Opiate of the people.” Later, Marxist apostles like, Saul Alinsky, Barak Obama, et. al., view mankind’s progress through the eyes of the true anthropogenic, one who considers man to be the most significant entity in the Universe. When applied, these philosophical theories have morphed into unworkable schemes called fascism, communism and socialism. All deny any association with God, except as a tool to be used to corral the masses they consider to be mere sheep.

But, Obama takes it a step further. He is a real narcissist. He believes he alone is the one most significant entity in the universe. Once, mental institutions were filled with like minded people who firmly believed they were the reincarnations of Napoleon or Genghis Khan. Many such people occupy the seats of power in their own spheres holding the reins of government in their grubby hands, dragging their followers with them, to ultimate misery.

That suggests the obvious next question: Was Obama made in God’s image? By our own experience we know he is not God. He’s too inept. That’s an issue that may be argued among the intellectual class for decades. Obama, by word, action and deed has shown he was either a Christian, a Muslim and probably even a hottentot if he’d thought of it, but the evidence of our own eyes indicates, apart from being a fool, that he assiduously worships at the alter of golf.

Fortunately, Obama has never claimed he was the reincarnation of Mohammad. The Jihadists would soon have his head mounted on a stick as a blasphemer. He’s never claimed to be God either because he simply does not believe there really is a God for him to emulate. He would have us believe that he alone is solely the one superior intellect who has risen up from out of the primordial slime that is humanity, to gift the universe with the brilliance of his wisdom.

We are now realizing, I think, that wisdom is the by-product of hands-on work and experience, talents Obama did not bring with him to office. He was a community organizer and created nothing by his own hands. That his ignominious term is coming to an end can’t be soon enough.

I trust we realize the mistake we made, as God fearing people, and do not repeat it.

Comey, Clinton, Collusion, Cronyism and Corruption = Crime

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

We were confused by FBI Director James Comey’s bizarre explanation, both to the public and later, under oath to a House Committee, trying to explain his convoluted reasons that justify his failure not to recommend prosecution of arguably America’s absolutely greatest criminal, Hillary Rodham Clinton who, with her pervert husband Bill, make Bonnie and Clyde look like childish shoplifters stealing candy. We are confused no longer, and Comey must resign!

The answers are revealing themselves. Prosecution of the criminal, Hillary Clinton was not even contemplated because it would have directly implicated our feckless leader, Barak Obama, as a co-conspirator to a crime of the highest level, the reckless endangering of America’s security. We were once again lied to. That was the very reason why Hillary Clinton escaped the Dock!

The first clue was when the White House refused to disclose twenty-two email communications between Obama and secretary Clinton through her private e-mail server. It soon became apparent that Obama, using a pseudonym, had engaged in the same criminality as Hillary that Congress was investigating. Her mishandling of classified information then becomes an Obama problem too. And, by that act alone, all of Hillary’s staff involved with her communications, now have a free pass from prosecution.

But the waters run even deeper. Dir. Comey, has a brother, Peter Comey, who works for DLA Piper, a law firm that does the Clinton Foundation taxes. FBI Director Comey was paid six million dollars from the Clinton Foundation through his brothers law firm, cash from defense contractor Lockheed-Martin. Lockheed then became a contributing member of the Clinton Foundation and also a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Egypt, the same CoC that paid Bill Clinton a quarter of a million dollars for a short speech in 2010.

Subsequently, Lockheed was awarded seventeen contracts approved by Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, In 2013, FBI Dir. Comey was appointed as a Director on the Board of the Systems Vulnerabilities Committee of London Bank, HSBC. HSBC partnered with The Clinton Foundation, and projected one billion dollars in financing through the Foundation for upgrading 1,500 to 2,000 housing units for green energy conversions.

The Director’s brother, Peter Comey of DLA Piper, is a “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas.” But, his name does not show up on any company roster. However, a phone call to DLA Piper, asking for Jim Comey, will immediately be put through.

Director Comey, as a member of Clinton Foundation corporate partner’s board, apparently has a financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey, at DLA Piper, a home mortgage for one. DLA Piper performed the “independent” audit of the Clinton Foundation during Hillary’s first big push to try to end the email scandal, just starting to engulf her. Also, it appears, employees at DLA Piper apparently represent a major bloc of Hillary Clinton campaign donors. DLA Piper ranks No. 5 on Clinton’s top Contributors list, ahead even of Goldman Sachs.

As the plot thickens and the corrupt cronyism continues to reveal itself, it becomes clearer and clearer that we are heading right into that wonderful utopia that George Orwell warned us about in his book 1984.”We can also thank Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn for his contribution to our understanding of what’s coming with his 1972 book The Gulag Archipelago, a book I first read immediately it came out. It’s scary people, real scary. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (02 Oct. 2016)

Orlando, FL, An Attack on Society

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

The jihadist attack in Orlando, Fl. was unspeakable for the breath of its devastation, but not senseless. Unspeakable because Americans just don’t do that sort of thing anymore but, not senseless because it was an act required by the Koran of all true believers. The attacker was indeed a true believer, a muslim jihadists. When and where such an independent attack occurs is not necessarily prescribed, it’s when any lone avenger of insults to Allah wants to do it. These people are not radicalized, they simply follow the Koran, where It is written!

The reaction of the American media to the fact the attack was specifically directed against homosexuals reveals that Jews are no longer God’s favored people, according to Liberals, homosexuals are! The role of Christians in our secular society no longer matters except as scapegoats to achieve moral equivalency with Islamic depredations. It is also important, for our own individual survival, to know the gay club was a “gun free zone!”

I read that the FBI “never guessed” a gay club would be a target of a Jihadist attack. Well, why not? It’s what they do. It’s demanded in the Qur’an. In their own Islamic countries homosexuals, if not burned to death, stoned or hanged are often precipitated from roof tops. Ouch!

How could a single Jihadist’s attack on a gay bar in a ‘gun free zone’ possibly come as a surprise to the FBI, especially after this wanna be Martyr, Omar Mateen, was twice investigated by the Bureau for radical statements and for making a pilgrimage to Mecca? Profiling perhaps?

The Liberal media, now in shock disbelief because a Muslim attacked one of the their favored class’s, has already started the propaganda argument of Moral Equivalency between the depredations of Islamic Jihadist, and the daily doses of Islamaphobic American Christians we see bullying and murdering muslims right here in the US.

But, as I scan the long list of deadly attacks on Americas city streets by adherents of any religious philosophy, I find one possible association by a white-male, possibly Christian, murdering, not muslim worshippers, but black Christian ones, in a church in Charleston, SC. But alas, he was a Democrat. So far, every armed attack in America by a person other than a professed muslim jihadist, was a registered Democrat, or his parents were registered Democrats, or they were mentally challenged. All of them!

For the uninformed the following short list of non muslim attacks may help: Columbine HS: both shooters were too young to vote but families of both were progressive liberals and registered Democrats. The Virginia Tech, shooter wrote hate mail to President Bush and was a registered Democrat. The Colorado theater shooter was a registered Democrat and a volunteer worker on Obama’s campaign. He was also an ”Occupy Wall Street participant and a progressive liberal. The school shooter in Connecticut, a lovely boy, hated Christians and was a registered Democrat. He murdered him mum as well. One wonders where liberals learn these skills?

Even earlier, the college professor who called himself the Unabomber, after being inspired by Al Gore’s book Earth in the Balance, was a registered Democrat as was Timothy McVey who so cleverly brought down the Oklahoma Federal building several years ago.

Clearly there are two classes of violent attackers here: Islamic Jihadist and Liberal Democrats. Perhaps Progressive Liberal Democrats should be registered and banned from gun ownership. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now go get ‘em! (6/13/ 16)

The Old Tricks Don’t Work Anymore

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Even two months after the 2016 General Election that, to the complete shock of nearly everyone, swept away decades of carefully crafted, cunningly supported and voraciously defended Marxist tenants of socialism forced upon the American people, the Left’s visible meltdown continues. The rejected class are still publicly displaying paroxysms of angst, garment rendering fits of outrage, weeping scenes of regret and remorse, and spasms of volatile hatred, simply because Trump won the election they thought was Hillary’s by divine right.

Hopefully, like in the five stages of human emotion in reaction to immediate threats, it will all end in resignation and acceptance. It won’t of course, but we can still hope. It is because the past four decades of encroaching socialism, propaganda driven education, imposed diversity and destructive multiculturalism based on a philosophy of political correctness, has ossified their little mushy brains into, how does ‘Rush’ put it? “mind numbed robots.”

Their candidate was visibly flawed, representing as she did, all that was failing in our culture, our government and our institutions. Striking out in anger, her over confident acolytes have even managed to reintroduced, albeit, inadvertently, an old term they once used to beat down weak, simpering Republicans: “McCarthyism.” It is now theirs, except “BuzzFeed” is the new moniker.

For all younger people who are unaware of the term, it comes from Joe McCarthy, a US Senator of the 1950’s who claimed the US government was infiltrated with Communists and he “held in his hand a list of names he would soon expose.” The fallout was enormous, unsubstantiated and destructive to the political process and did serious damage to the era of “good feelings” that once was in our politics. Decades later, some of McCarthy’s claims were verified. There were indeed communist plants in our government, and still are. And, while McCarthy couldn’t prove it then, time has proven him substantially correct. But the negative term, “McCarthyism,” was set in concrete. That’s why we’re where we are today. In any event, the damage was done.

This week, Senate confirmation hearings for Trumps cabinet choices began and suddenly, “Buzz Feed,” in the best traditions of McCarthyism, became itself the purveyor of destructive lies and false innuendos. It has proved the era of fake news is indeed, alive and well. Unlike the 1950’s though, Americans are now aware of the old techniques from the Democrats playbook of dirty tricks, and instead of becoming outraged and cynical, are becoming aware and amused.

Buzz Feeds supposedly explosive anti-Trump revelations allegedly came from foreign intelligence sources and passed on to the FBI and CIA. Senator John McCain, personally claimed credit for this, “as any good citizen would.” The report, quickly exposed as fake news, is the best and latest example, since McCarthy himself, of how low Trumps enemies will go to ruin his presidency, including from the the “Never Trump” GOP crowd, before it even begins.

These people are determined to maintain the corrupt status quo of their political sinecures, advance their desire to stay in the swamp of graft and corruption and reap the rewards of being career politicians. Such false claims, the sole purpose of which is to destroy by innuendo and lies, a persons reputation and adversely affect his or her ability to function without censure or approbation. It is deplorable and, if I judge “The Donald” correctly, actionable. In this era of “fake news,” BuzzFeed has reached new lows and has ensured its place as simply another Democrat rumor mill, not to be trusted. It is the new McCarthyism vehicle for leftist haters, if it survives.

Evolution, Does it Work?

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Political parties are incapable of independent evolution. They strive assiduously to defend themselves against all attempts through the process of natural selection, to change. Politicians are not the cleverest of God’s creatures, but nature, in her wisdom over the eons has created this species then that and if they don’t work out, destroys ‘em like a giant hand angrily sweeping chess pieces off a board. A few creatures may escape or attempt to adapt but, in the end, they are still made redundant. Except politicians. Their survival instincts are unique indeed.

The GOP, steadfastly reluctant to accept Donald Trumps as the Republican nominee, still find any excuse to distance themselves from his brash talk, his politically incorrect comments and his plans for where the country should be going. His simple slogan, “Make America Great Again” has captured the hearts and minds of us descendants from the “Greatest Generation” whose memories are still infused by the blood, sacrifice and tears of WWII, Korea and Vietnam.

The people no longer trust the GOP to do what’s right. The tawdry show they are putting on right now against Donald Trump proves that and yet they still manage to avoid their demise by natural selection. Somehow, they have convinced us to return them to office. That distrust includes their agenda, the same as proposed by House Speaker Ryan, because we have seen it all before and have been disappointed by the inability of the GOP to move it or even try to move it forward. Trump’s candidacy is a hostile takeover of the old ineffective GOP.

Speaker Ryan expects that Donald Trump should embrace the GOP agenda but here, I think, he is barking up the wrong tree because Mr. Trump probably has other ideas the does not included clasping hands across the aisle with the enemy. Mr. Ryan’s assumptions on how Donald Trump should behave underline a basic premise that is both mistaken and, so far, unremarked. He said as much in his halting acknowledgement of Donald Trumps ascendency with these words: “Trump must come to accept the Republican Agenda…” Oh, must he? Why?No one else does.

The GOP agenda, an ambitious, six-part plan to show voters the detailed plan he hopes will unite the party and create guidelines that Donald Trump may embrace, is old news. This quote from an aide intrigues me: “The issues included represent the areas of common ground the speaker has with Donald Trump and he is confident the plans House Republicans would pass in 2017 would be signed into law with a Trump White House.” He does, does he?

The first part of the plan addresses poverty and entitlements. We’ve been there, done that! Poverty has always been with us, will always be with us and will likely increase as Obama’s progressives continued to destroy America’s once productive middle-class work force with onerous taxes, overspending, enforced minimum wages and required unaffordable health care.

A half dozen GOP House committees worked for months to give speaker Ryan the first part of the plan which tackles poverty and ineffective welfare programs. Later the Speaker will introduce the GOP’s foreign policy scheme, hopefully to be followed by illegal Immigration, trade and, one would hope, balancing the budget, eliminating the current tax code and reducing spending, issues that divide the elites from the their base.

Where are the Tea Parties? Great principles will only carry their weight when associated with a movement of greater force. The GOP doesn’t have it. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (7June 2016)

What is Becoming of American Politics?

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

It would seem that only the most ruthless or the truly most criminal aspirants to power and control have the chutzpah to even want to run for President of the United States. Good people don’t run because they fear being criminalized by insinuation by a press no longer fairly fulfilling the role of the forth estate, a media firmly lodged in the folds of progressive liberalism.

Americans are now being plied with inimical foreign ideas and philosophies smugly introduced into a once democratic Republic as ideas comparable to our Constitution and rule of law, worthy of emulation and acceptance. Dissenter are quickly crucified on the public alter of humiliation as either homophobic, Islamaphobic, racist or bigoted. They are attacked by screaming mobs of educated illiterates from many walks of society. Trump resists.

This election year marks the beginning of a serious political realignment between new, very partisan coalitions who are determined they will decide whose ideas and beliefs they stand for, and the old guards who are lost in the fading antiquity of their prior existence and don’t know it.

They do it by no longer bothering to consult with the existing political parties who now find themselves lost and bewildered in jungle of competing factions all demanding some form of positive action while their own public platform has been snatched away from them. In the Republicans case, Donald Trump has inevitably changed the course of Republican campaigning attitudes, goals and outcomes.

The Democrats have reinvented their party like it came directly off the pages of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. At their last national convention, they purposefully, intentionally abandoned God and bragged about it. A free criminal has demanded she be installed and anointed as their candidate simply because she is a woman and “isn’t it time for a woman to be President…?” Their party has embraced .03% of the population of sexual deviates, black lives matters activists and Muslims jihadists, as their standards of fairness and inclusion.

The Republicans still pledge allegiance to the flag and start all meetings, etc. with a prayer. But visible changes there can’t be ignored. How is it a Republican Governor, Georgia’s Nathan Deal, wouldn’t even make a quick fight from Atlanta to Augusta (Ga.) to speak to the state GOP party’s convention? Because, being a former Democrat, he still believes in the old ways. He vetoed several conservative bills so as not to offend progressives all in the name of fairness.

American politics are changing in profound and lasting ways. The old shibboleths, once never to be mentioned, like Social Security, illegal border crashers, welfare for all, are now being talked about. Warned against, but not discussed in detail by our old time politicians is the fact that America now spends more money than it takes in and our mediocre Republican congress, all of whom we just returned to have another go, still voted for more indebtedness to keep the happy ball rolling regardless of the inevitable oncoming economic collapse. Anarchy will soon follow.

Trump will be the Republican nominee. The question for the Republican Party now is, are they willing to rally around Trump, someone the people want, or return to the old economic policies of free trade, mass immigration and entitlement reform as the party’s main platform? If so, Trump will have to accept it. If the core of Republican voters reject that platform, Trump must continue to be his own man, set the goals he enlivened the base with and get the changes moving.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (5 June 2016)

Panic in the Beast

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

I marvel at the absolute panic sweeping the two unpopular and totally corrupt political party’s that have usurped their mandates, ruined the culture of America’s exceptionalism and are now attempting to force upon us the concept of a collective “One World Government.” Trump is definitely in the way, causing much panic.

The Progressive/Democrat/Liberal party is the main villain but, alas, the hapless, slavish Republicans, bravely, but stupidly attempting to stay relevant in the face of the Left’s subversive assault on the constitutional rules of law based upon its Judeo-Christian values, has done noting to deter the Democrat created socialist horror descending upon us. The Republican party, having lost its conservative credentials long ago, is feeling the sting of change and they don’t know how to respond. There is panic in the beast.

A sizable portion of conservative American voters, alarmed at the direction Obama and the Democrat Party has taken the country, in frustration, have rallied behind a smart, skillful, wealthy, by his own means, but boisterous candidate, that the party, not recognizing the clear writing on the wall, finds itself in total panic over that candidate we picked for them, denying his relevancy, his conservative legitimacy, and his campaign style which is not theirs.

The GOP panic already has involved seventy, more or less, GOP elites who truly believe that by denying Trump, they will encourage a shadow candidate to step forth and win the election for the GOP. Fat chance! A wonderful., former CIA officer has stepped forward who sounds good, knows all the answers and offers solutions but, he’s not wanted except to ensure the GOP is lost forever. If that unhappy event should occur, it will not be Trump’s fault! it will totally be the fault of the rotten to the core Republican elites who didn’t see it coming. Panic!

On the Democrat side, more than enough evidence exists to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, the complete corruption of Hillary & Bill Clinton and probably even their daughter, for violations of US law on graft & corruption by selling influence, mis-handling of classified documents, and running a self enrichment scheme that benefits only them, The Clinton’s should be thrown so far back in jail that you’ed need a lantern to find ‘em or shoot beans at ‘em with a shotgun.

Remember, Hillary Clinton has a long history of failure. She was a lawyer cashiered from the Watergate investigation committee because of unethical practices, lies, and misrepresentations. That should have been the end of any career she could have anticipated. Obviously, it didn’t! Through thick and thin Hillary clung to Bill’s coat tails over thirty tumultuous years that, so that by default and changes within the Democrat Party, she now emerges as the only Democrat candidate possible because “its her turn and she’s a woman.” Her score of diplomatic failures is unrivaled, except possibly by John, the Vietnam vet, Kerry, who is as equally incompetent.

After Trumps great Wisconsin speech on law and order, I tuned in to CNN after Fox news bored me by trying to tell me what Trump just said. I watched the speech so I know what he said, I do not need talking heads spinning it. CNN on the other hand, brought forth that great Democrat Progressive, Van Jones, the black Commie the Obama administration had to let go early in the first term, to enlighten us with his opinion. What is clear was that CNN, in a sense of pure panic, literally attempted to destroy Trump’s message, not by reporting on what he said, but by regurgitating the common lies already out there the MSM has already established. There’s panic in the beast, folks. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!

Beware of the Republican Party

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

The euphoria sweeping the ranks of the GOP upon Trumps election must be tempered with common sense, a commodity sorely lacking in Washington politics, especially the Republicans. Please note that Speaker Paul Ryan did not get a unanimous vote from his caucus for the Speakership, but in his happy talk to the press, surrounded by fawning congressmen and women smiling for the photo op, he said one of the most alarming things I heard for awhile.

Ryan posited a return to the corrupting program of political favoritism, “earmarks,” so beloved of the elite class and hated by the taxpayers. It’s also called “Pork-Barrel” spending and is damaging because it corrupts. If Ryan wants to be the author of the GOP’s plan to follow the DNC into political oblivion, then, by all means he should push ahead for that program.

Be alarmed Republican voters, because Trump’s populist victory, expressly to drain the swamp and stymie the evident corruption ruining our government, is in real danger of being derailed by the Establishment elites, if we let them. We expect competent, honest government, we want it and by damn, if it doesn’t happen we can sweep the GOP away too.

Beware also of complacency. It’s deadly to the process and politicians know it. Here’s a message the GOP should heed: long serving Florida Republican Congressman, John Mica, (22 years), failed in his reelection bid to ride either Trump’s or Rubio’s coattails to Florida election victory because he specifically and proudly, endorsed a return to congressional earmarks. He lost to a Democrat in a district that otherwise went totallyTrump. John Mica was a GOP pillar of corruption and to save his position, his district was gerrymandered to make his re-election assured. Well, he lost!  How’s that for a special kind of stupid?

Younger readers may wonder what “earmarks” are. The short definition is they are legalized political bribery, a mechanism that allows the House Speaker to legislatively direct taxpayer funds to individual members in turn for votes favorable to another member or favored programs. A congressman then, theoretically, gets to spend the earmarked money in his district making his voters happy thus reassuring his reelection in the next campaign. It’s the old “Bridge to Nowhere” scam. It’s corruption!

The Tea Party put an end to the practice and now comes Paul Ryan wanting to reintroduce it to our congress. That folk’s, is the swamp that Trump wants to drain. Our own 9th District Congressman, the Hon. Mr. Doug Collins, has proudly announced his elevation to a position in the House leadership conference somewhere at the fifth level of importance. That might be important to Mr. Doug Collins, but it has no importance to me except to remind me that in politics, leadership positions are ego feeders that rewards those who go along to get along. Corruption is the handmaiden of fiscal mischief.

It alerts me also, to closely watch the voting record of my Congressman and act accordingly. I suggest everyone add GovTrack.us to their bookmarks and keep up with the voting record of your Senator and Congressmen. Complacency will kill us. That this idea still lurks in the incubator of political favoritism and was exposed so easily by the House Speakers off the cuff comment, should alert all voters that Trumps victory is not all inclusive and Trumps path to draining the swamp, is strewn with land mines, traps and extreme dangers.

I am hopeful. Christie, an establishment type along with Mike Rogers, are both gone. That’s just the start. Actually, we can’t afford the old ways. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, got  get ‘em. (18 Nov 2016)

Moral Relativism

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Listening to the various political radio talk show commentators, all conservatives of course because Liberal sites only last long enough to go bankrupt, it’s amusing to hear the liberal callers as they whine about moral relativism when defending Hillary or Bernie. At the moment the issues are really all Trump vs. Hillary. Bernie is nothing but a thorn in Hillary’s side.

What is happening, electorally, is a political earthquake of gigantic proportions, an event where the working middle class, what’s left of it, and the self-centered student class, losers, anarchists, and government dependents, are throwing off the shackles of political serfdom to an elite class that found the system so malleable that it became easy to enrich themselves from the public coffers. So, politically, a chasm exists between both party’s orthodoxy of the past two or so decades and the economic interests of today’s electorate. For both parties, that chasm between voters and the corruption of the political elites, at the moment, is falling in favor of the electorate.

For the Democrat party, that not too long ago shed the image of being old time racist Dixiecrats, Southern white males who ruled their regimes with unyielding power of authoritarianism that satisfied their close followers, the transition of that power to federal authority over the past five decades has changed the face of who’s is in charge or should be. It has shifted from white Southerners to Northern white Liberals besotted with the feel good ethics of moral relativism.

Basically, nobody really knows what they were talking about, especially the black race who by evidence of their continued votes for democrat candidates, still cling to the false hope of economic advancement by their masters, but only if allowed. The Democrat Party is still the party of slave masters.They just changed their uniform.

Hillary Clinton is possessed of none of the leadership traits of the old time Southern white male politicians. She does not have the skills to be a smooth talking white slave master or a political sugar daddy to her clingers-on. She is a screecher and an out and out money grubber. She’s in it for herself. It is one reason, Bernie Sanders has made her campaign such a mess.

The news focus is still on the clash between Hillary and Bernie. Campaigns by pre Bill Clinton Democrats, like Jim Webb for example, went nowhere fast. He lacked a constituency and found himself completely out of place among the other Democrat Socialist thinking politicians who early sought the 2016 Democratic nomination, but died aborning. Bernie Sanders, an avowed Socialist of the old school (think Commie), hangs in there like a bad case of acne claiming a moral relativism that appeals to the educated but still illiterate class.

So, what about the Republicans? Noting the early success of the changed Democrat Party, but lacking the killer infighting skills to combat the Democrats socialist programs, they took the path of least resistance thinking it best simply to “go along to get along”, all the while telling their constituencies how Conservative they really were. Boy, were we stupid letting it go so far. Then, along comes an alpha male, Donald Trump who eschews political correctness, says what’s on his mind, challenges the Liberal press on their lies, and stands for president sweeping all the “usual suspects” aside leaving the organized party, and its think-tank acolytes, in a near state of catatonic shock. Actually, it’s all morally relative. It’s who gets to dip in the coffers!

Sadly, for Georgians, our first real chance to prove that our fears were indeed grounded, we threw it away by returning virtually all the usual suspects to their incumbencies. Sad, very sad! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (02 June 2016)

Who Decides Who and What is a Terrorist?

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

9/11, Boston marathon, Chattanooga, Ft. Hood, San Bernardino and now, Orlando, Fl., will forever be events etched into our history as Islamic attacks against Americans, American culture  and American freedoms.The only question that remains is who will write that history and who will the writers deem to be be the terrorists?

The immediate reaction in the aftermath of the 9/11 incident was the almost immediate appearance and implementation of the Patriot Act. It provided a window for despots to start the ball rolling toward our total subjugation by the fascists who only want power and control. In our need to do something and feel safe, we acceded them that power but, we didn’t ask them how they intended to protect our Constitutional rights. They didn’t intend too!  New data tells us the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia held responsibility for 9/11. That was ignored. Why? Follow the money.

The National Defense Authorization Act, annually voted on by Congress to “protect us” also gives to the President and the Secretary of Homeland Security the arbitrary and extra-judicial, unconstitutional power to name, arrest, and imprison without trial, designated suspected terrorist organizations. Re-read the top line. Not one Islamic group has been hindered by that law, but Americas own Tea Parties, Oath Keepers, etc. etc & etc. are so designated and threatened and will sooner or later become targets of massive federal police attacks on the excuse of keeping America safe (from them not Islamists).

The Bundy Ranch and Burns, Oregon incidents were shocks to the establishment because they  showed supreme resistance to illegal Federal aggression. The Feds temporarily suspended such overt public police actions but, it has intensified their absolute determination to remove our means of self defense by getting our guns. It will not happen without a fight and they know it.

Currently in the news is the issue of the Terrorist Watch List, also an extra-judicial, unconstitutional act that should not exist. It is a secret list. Why? We should demand it be published for all to see and know who the fascists say can and cannot own a gun. I want to know who’s on that list, for my own safety.

Terrorism is not the enemy, Islam is! They have declared war on America and are carrying it out. Obama, a crypto-muslim refuses to condemn let along recognize Islamic jihadists as terrorists. Islam is a religion of peace he say’s but the facts paint a different picture. For example, this item that didn’t make the news: ‘Islamic Refugee’ with Gas Pipeline Plans Arrested in New Mexico Border County.” Police in a U.S. town bordering Mexico have apprehended an undocumented, Middle Eastern woman in possession of the region’s gas pipeline plans. What could possibly go wrong? If she’s undocumented then she’s cannot possibly be a refugee, can she?

Or this one: “A (muslim) man is jailed on a charge of terroristic threat Wednesday after threatening to impose the death penalty on several people who refused to take copies of the Quran, Denton, Tx. police say.  This happens every single day here in our American towns.

 Obama said this a few days before the Islamic murders in Orlando: “The administration is deeply committed to the proposition that it would be wrong and harmful to identify the jihad threat for what it is.” In reality, its politically correct willful ignorance, hamstringing a proper analysis of the problem and endangering Americans.” So, who is the real enemy and who is the

terrorist? According to Obama, we are!   Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (15 June 2016)

Defender of the Faith

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:
I have no doubt that Mr. Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, is a good man, intelligent and well meaning, pure in his intentions, who loves America and little children. I also think he sees himself filling the titular role of the late Mr. Bill Buckley, the one and only original Mr. Conservative (except for Ronald Reagan of course), and true defender of the faith. Maybe!

Mr. Kristol stands adamantly opposed to the peoples choice and seeks to impose his own candidate on the people because he knows better than the sheep. The problem is, there is no other choice, all have been eliminated and besides, there is already a third party, the Libertarians who are mounting their own spoiler campaign.

Too, another problem for Mr. Kristol, is that he remains so convinced of his own omnipotence in conservative political thinking, that he recklessly proceeds without considering the awful ramifications his fourth party dream will achieve. His ideas, if enacted, are in danger of assuring the awful outcome so decried by us lesser individuals who are the fading GOP’s base that his intelligentsia class so thoroughly despises. Ouch!

Even in light of Trumps sweeping Republican delegate victory, long before the GOP convention where opposition could be organized to thwart him, Mr. Kristol performs as an avid, immovable, defender of the political status quo intent on installing his own version of a true conservative candidate against the wishes of the voters who have very clearly expressed their antipathy toward the Republican political governing class. He names no candidate yet to fill that role.
It cannot be a rehashed Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz and certainly not Mitt Romney…again, could it? Oh, its a David French. Who?

One wonders could Trump’s presidency affect Mr. Kristol’s future earning potential of his magazine? Maybe. No matter what we read, see or hear, or how any argument is phrased, you still follow the money! For the Weekly Standard, it’s life depends upon subscriptions from people who want to hear what the “real conservatives”, (i.e.: Weekly Standard staff), who believe they have the true measure of the American people, have to say.

Trumps early, stunning electoral victories have washed all that “we know what’s best for you” nonsense away, Mr. Kristol now finds himself, almost alone, struggling in a boat without an oar, against the inevitable force of the flowing tide of coming change. Mr. Kristol’s soul mate in this losing enterprise, Mr. Mitt Romney, former Governor, failed Presidential candidate and slobbering loser who pines for lost opportunities and clings to the remote notion of sweeping out of the convention wings to selflessly throw himself on the stage in front of the stacked convention masses pleading for him to save them. From what? Fat chance!

Listening to “the Donald” on the campaign trail knocking off the other contenders like ten pins, the talking heads, Kristol, et. al, firm in their beliefs that Trump would soon implode and be quickly swept off the stage so the grown ups could get on with the business of ruling, have made the greatest error of their careers. They actually believe themselves, not the evidence!

Many are now almost prostate with grief, seek their solace in terms of his qualifications. Trump is unqualified, an inarticulate boor, loud, politically incorrect and etc., etc., & etc. Well, Trump is a multibillionaire by his own effort, a showman with an Alpha personality and, more importantly, he is not soon to be interrogated by the FBI like somebody else we know.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go et ‘em! (31 May 2016)

America For Sale—Sold!

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Think, Supreme Court, Supreme Court, Supreme Court. Hillary Clinton will fill at least three, possibly four of those seats with marxist oriented, feel good, probably “gay” lawyers with ACLU backgrounds who believe, like she does, that the US Constitution is not relevant to our modern times and is so out of date that it should simply be ignored if not relegated to the trash heap.

Any such Supreme Court will enfranchise corruption as the norm for conducting government business. Why? because they will simply ignore the Constitution effectively relegating it to inconsequence. To work, Americans have got to know the Constitution and still believe that the Constitution and the rule of law matters, not what marxist judges say what matters.

The Left has worked decades for this moment, changing definitions, enfranchising deviancy, forcing our school children to accept it; challenging our Judeo-Christian moral codes and enfranchising the odious tenants of Islam as an acceptable alternative for our Christian values. If this is not true, why then have Islam roll plays in schools? Because the Saudi’s paid for it. Christianity? Sold! Moral values? Gone! Our culture? Multicultural, tending to “Gangster Rap” and Islamic prayers. American values? Sold and long gone!

The Clintons, and their RICO reeking Clinton Foundation, are the epitome of graft and corruption, greed and avarice. Obama’s Dept. of Justice has been so corrupted by the Marxist political class that it’s only mission is to protect the political elites that rule us and attack and destroy all opposition that threaten them. I also included most of our GOP establishment among the poisoned and corrupted politicians, those that want to help lead America to a one world government. They’re safe so long as individual politicians (Tea Partiers) don’t attempt to break out of the favors corral that enslaves them and they know it. Integrity, bought and paid for!

Hillary Clinton has already taken options from foreign dictators and international business’s to sell America by purchasing influence through our equally corrupted State Dept. of which she was once the leader. Sales do not necessarily go to the highest bidder. Her negotiations were not in the form of an auction but rather massive bids for influence paid under the table on the potential of her becoming President. Sales for favors. Hillary, selling American uranium to Russia through a Canadian businessman who bought favors, is only one case in point. Has that trade deal been rescinded? I haven’t heard that it has. Uranium for sale. Sold!

The Obama administration resists all plans that would economically help America. Denying the Canadian crude oil pipeline, for example; the refusal to allow fracking and sale of US fossil fuels abroad and, slamming the doors of the coal industry, exemplify his perfidy. Clinton has accepted money from the oil producing Islamic Arab countries who’s own goals are emphatically inimical to Americas interests. The Saudi’s spend to spread Islam of the Wahhabism version. Sold!

How much money do the Clinton’s need? They should have enough by now. Remember, she said they were “flat broke “when she and Bill left the White House, also taking US government furniture and paintings with ‘em! That’s theft and embezzlement, but of course, the Clinton’s escaped again. What could possibly be left for her to sell? Our advanced Submarine plans, details on our fleet operations? Remember, Bill sold the Hughes Aircraft intercontinental missile guidance systems to the Chinese. Isn’t it wonderful that so many American’s see Trump as cruel and callous but Hillary as honest and trustworthy enough to become C-in-C and President? Don’t bet on it. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (12 August 2016)

Damage Party’s

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

The tatters that is the Democrat party still survives, barely, as the evil antithesis of Constitutional government, morality and decency. For the next four to eight years the total aim of the Democrat Party will be to destroy, delegitimize or render ineffective, anything the Trump administration attempts to do. It will be a hard task, but, It’s for the children, isn’t it?

Thanks to Harry Reid, the Democrats, having little political leverage left, will resort to all manner of tricks to keep their narrative in the publics mind, abetted naturally, by the media. In any event, they will have a tough row to hoe as they have no vision that is truly American or fits within the Constitutional framework Americans demanded in November. But, that’s their problem.

How did they arrive at this unhappy state? I believe it was because their charming, black candidate Barak Hussain Obama, was just that, a candidate, a Democrat in name only. In intelligence trade craft lingo, it was good cover. He allowed the party to go its way, slavishly lingering on the periphery of his marxist leadership. Basically, he ignored the Democrat party and allowed it to atrophy. They didn’t even realize it until after the shock that was Nov. 8th.

Populism swept all that away and ushered in the era of Donald Trump, as a Republican candidate. But, here is the caution: Trump is, and will remain just that, the Republican candidate, pushing ahead with his own vision just like Barak did. He will do so with or without the establishment Republican’s active support. If they don’t catch on they too, ignored and unwanted, will atrophy. Both parties are severely damaged clinging as they do to failed ideas.

The Republicans, however, unlike the Democrats, still have some political leverage because they control the majorities of both houses of Congress. But, they do not have the good will of their voter base. Donald Trump has the “Bully Pulpit” and knows how to use it. It will be a sad fate for the establishment Republicans if they fail to recognize the populist juggernaught that has overwhelmed them and crushed the Democrats. Socialism is endemic but not incurable.

Unenlightened GOP advocates, like John McCain and Lindsay Graham, will still stubbornly cling to their old philosophies of crony conservatism, unfettered immigration, extending the hand of friendship across the aisle, and find value in the Democrats narrative that should be nourished, all in the name of bipartisanship. The comparisons are complete!

Republicans beware! You are still distrusted and the Tea Party activists will start moving their populist message forward, just like the never dead Democrats will try to do. Right now, appears to be the best open window available to start making the changes to enfranchise the Independent conservative Republican movement, the one built on the corpse of the out of date establishment Republican Party. The mechanism is in place, only the people need to be changed. Remember, all politics are local. That’s where populisms greatest strength lies.

And, let’s not forget how Trumps victory is affecting the Democratic world. Populism is sweeping Europe. It started with the Brexit and was confirmed with Trumps victory. The path forward has been revealed and soon, we’ll see the cracks in the EU’s foundation open wider. France, Germany and the Netherlands are right behind. It’s a bright day dawning, but it will not be an easy one. Among our other problems, the fascist forces of Islam still hovers within our midsts and like a cancer, must be cut out and neutralized.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (27 Dec 16)

The Black Problem With White Society

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Generally, we feel safe when we know that we and our neighbors respect and obey the laws. It’s so engrained in fact, that we rarely gave it a second thought. For most of us it used to be that our first and only contact with law enforcement was when we got stopped for a traffic violation. That first encounter, good or bad, firmly sets in our minds our lasting opinion of the police. The police know it and try to meet the confrontation politely to spread the message of compliance to the laws, even with the little ones like traffic laws.

Today, all that has been swept away. It is now almost expected that a push-back should occur. The officer is now screamed at, personally maligned and even assaulted. Whites don’t do this. Blacks are doing it more and more feeling enfranchised to resist “racism” as they call it, because two US Attorney Generals, have made it okay. Police push-back is met with violent resistance often ending in gunfire, the losers being the black thugs who thought they had an obligation to their community to resist “whitey,” even if “whitey’ is a black officer. Let the rioting begin.

Businesses in black occupied urban areas are robbed, looted and burned, cars are smashed and rioters openly assault the police considering them enemies of the people. The local media quickly descends on the scenes of carnage to fan the flames of racial discord. The national media picks up the thread to spin it into their anti-American narrative to protect and preserve failed liberal policies, all a part of a long planned assault on America’s freedoms.

Stories of urban collapse are coming to us at rapidly increasing intervals. Rioting, on the slightest pretext, is characteristic of a people who have lost faith in their democratic government. They arise on any provocation and the police get the blame, being the visible face of that government. Assaults on the police are excused now as the norm, a response to racism.

In Milwaukee recently, black mobs believed that another innocent black man had been shot in the back by a local policeman. Video’s shows that he wasn’t an innocent black man, but was actually raising a pistol toward a black policeman. The story died right there and so did the rioting.

The imposed dream of a multicultural society isn’t working. The purposeful hunting down and beatings of whites on the streets, the rabid, screaming calling for more attacks on whites has now become part of the recorded history of a nations collapse. Naturally, the media scrubs out what doesn’t support the multicultural narrative that Liberalism demands.

The MSM denies we are experiencing a racial insurgency claiming that out of control law enforcement is the problem as evidenced by the disproportionate arrests of blacks for crimes and the daily indiscriminate shootings of blacks by police. Blacks are unmistakably gripped by a powerful racial hatred of white people. This is no accident. It has long been preplanned.

In Milwaukee until the truth came out, the screaming black mobs immediately attacked whites. A black woman screamed that blacks should burn the suburbs of whites. This was on the video first put out but CNN quickly cut that part out. If you don’t admit that you have cancer, will it go away?…Naw!  We are now entering the final stages of Saul Alinsky plan, implemented by Obama using the Cloward-Piven scheme to bring America to heel. We had better get ready.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (31 August 2016)

Islam, It’s Time to Take Action – Part 2

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Where does American really stand in it’s relation with Islam? We already know where Obama stands, it’s with the muslims. He has said so, many times. He denies that the decades long assault of middle eastern terrorism has anything to do with the religion of peace. Europe is finding out how wrong that assessment is. It may be too late but, as I said in a previous essay, some European countries are taking action to resolve that problem.

New information has surfaced this week and reported in the NYT, of all sources,reporting that a secretive branch of ISIS has already built a global network of killers and has already dispersed them throughout the world.

For example, “Believing he was answering a holy call, Harry Sarfo left his home in the working-class city of Bremen (Germany) last year and drove for four straight days to reach the territory controlled by the Islamic State in Syria.

He barely had time to settle in before members of the Islamic State’s secret service, wearing masks over their faces, came to inform him and his German friend that they no longer wanted Europeans to come to Syria. Where they were really needed was back home, to help carry out the group’s plan of waging terrorism across the globe.

“He was speaking openly about the situation, saying that they have loads of people living in European countries and waiting for commands to attack the European people,” Mr. Sarfo recounted on Monday, in an interview with The New York Times conducted in English inside the maximum-security prison near Bremen. “And that was before the Brussels attacks, before the Paris attacks.”

“The masked man explained that, although the group was well set up in some European countries, it needed more attackers in Germany and Britain, in particular. “They said, ‘Would you mind to go back to Germany, because that’s what we need at the moment,'” Mr. Sarfo recalled. “And they always said they wanted to have something that is occurring in the same time: They want to have loads of attacks at the same time in England and Germany and France.” [Read more: Callimachi/NYTimes/3August2016

So, the question is, have they avoided America? I don’t think so! The rising body count here is proof enough that inexpensive lone-wolf operations perpetrated by on-line trained muslim youths, is just beginning. We are our own worst enemy because of our governments back door investments to ISIS controlled countries. A partial solution, of course, is to root out contributors to political candidates, like Hillary, and the media that don’t tell the truth, by working against our national interests, and expose them for their unAmericanism by making them as “radioactive as the Ku Klux Klan.” Properly applied, boycotts do work.

Where does the danger for us lie?, in Obama’s government! He has installed the enemy in the DHS ranks as employees. Security screenings of federal employees in sensitive positions who do not currently undergo security clearance investigations, is a must. Full security inquiries of those in elected office including their staffs, is also a must. Did you know that seventy-two employees in the DHS are on the terror watch lists? What’s to be done about that? For a start, let’s elect Trump!. We don’t need them here for whatever good intention may apply.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (12 Aug 2016)
