The Enemy of My Enemy Can Be My Ally, Even if Just for Today

What do White evangelicals, Hispanics and Muslims have in common?  Your first instinct would be to say nothing.  But according to the Left, all of them are complaining about the public schools trying to groom their kids for sexual deviancy.  Apparently in Dearborn Michigan these three groups have been able to agree that the local school shouldn’t be foisting LGBTQ talking points on their children through the school library.

In the breathless narrative of a New Republic expose we read that this unlikely alliance of the Right along with groups that were formerly thought to be owned by the Left is laying siege to the local school board and demanding that deviant sexual propaganda be removed from the school library.  And being a leftist rag, the author presents this as an atrocity that should rally the Left to work even harder to bully parents to submit to the deviant faith.

This was the concluding paragraph:

The developments in Dearborn are a sign that the madness is spreading to new constituencies whom Democrats have long considered allies. Predicated on “protecting our kids” from the “scourge” of sexual progressivism, the anti-democratic right is forming a powerful religious alliance against secular liberalism. Those who believe in eternal torture for heathens are joining forces to establish hell on earth for LGBTQ people, public officials, and anyone who cares about American democracy.

Apparently, the wake-up call to parents when they saw during COVID what their children were being “taught” has been heeded by many and not just traditional people on the Right.  Religious people, even minorities who have traditionally clung to the Democrat party are slowly waking up to the reality of what their “ally” plans for their children.  Finally.

And if the Left is shrieking that means what is happening is effective.  Waking parents up has been an unexpected bright spot in all the havoc that we’ve lived through in the last few years.  Even leftists have been “scared straight” by what they found in their kids’ curriculum.  If the Stupid Party can wake up and latch onto this thing and legislate a real parents’ bill of rights, I think a lot of Democrat politicians will find it difficult to oppose it.  We might even get a veto-proof majority to enact something significant.  But let’s not get too far ahead of our skis here.

The moral of the story is that when it comes to different religious and ethnic constituencies you don’t have to be close friends to cooperate on tackling a threat from the anti-religious, anti-family progressive forces that have infiltrated the government and more specifically the schools.  You can cooperate on a project and get things done.  Later on, you can go back to hating on each other if that’s the only way things work between you.

Maybe that’s the model for the future.  Cooperate where it makes sense and otherwise circle warily around all the other groups that are trapped with us in this gulag our elites have built for us.

All You Zombies

Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, John Fetterman, The Clintons.  The list goes on and on.  Where do these people come from?  They’re all the weirdest individuals imaginable outside of the Arkham Lunatic Asylum.  And yet they’re accepted and elected to high office by tens of millions of American voters.  This alone is an indictment of our society.  Only corruption so ingrained and pervasive as to be virtually the dominant force in our politics could explain Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being the President and Vice President of the United States.

Listen to Nancy Pelosi just once and you’re sure that she’s an inebriated dolt.  Try to follow an answer that Harris gives to a direct question.  It’s like some kind of scene from a Seinfeld episode where George Costanza is pretending to be an architect or a marine biologist.  She’s a complete moron.  Buttigieg is only nominally less stupid.  Now we have an actual stroke victim pretending he’s capable of representing his state in the Senate.  I guess compared to these characters the bald guy wearing the wig, dress and admiral’s hat is the normal one.

And finally, the pinnacle of our dysfunctional government menagerie, Joe Biden.  His advancing dementia is actually his least offensive characteristic.  He’s a congenital liar.  He lies continuously and so outrageously that there’s no way for him to hide it.  He lies to make himself look better.  He lies to hide the incompetence of himself and his administration.  He lies to further his personal gain.  He lies to fool the American people about the terrible policies he wants to adopt.  And sometimes I think he lies just to stay in practice.

Based on the things we’ve learned about him from his own family he’s a frightening deviant who showered with his teenaged daughter.  He’s very credibly accused of having sexually assaulted a woman on his Senatorial staff in broad daylight.  He sidles up to women and girls and sniffs their hair and fondles their shoulders even while being televised.  And he’s the father and business partner of Hunter Biden, a crack-smoking bagman who has managed to make his father look slightly less insane by comparison.  And this is the President of the United States of America.

So how the hell do we get rid of these people?

There is no answer to this question.  Because there is no simple solution.  The federal government is a Frankenstein’s Monster that has been created by well meaning people to solve problems like World War II and the Great Depression but instead is now uncontrollable and a menace to those it’s supposed to serve.  The FBI, the other intelligence agencies and several other key agencies have been given carte blanche by such laws as the Patriot Act and the FISA court to control Americans at any level they choose to.  Combine that with the data collection resources they’ve amassed and we have something even Stalin would have thought beyond the pale.  So how exactly do you rein in this monster?  It would take the concerted effort of the President and Congress along with the armed forces to dismantle our Deep State.

And don’t get me wrong.  It’s worth doing.  It’s the only way we could wrestle back our country.  But who’s got that kind of power?  We’d need a cadre of supermen to make it happen.  Instead, we’ve got Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.  So as much as I’d like to imagine us draining the swamp, I realize that it would involve first uniting the country in a way that hasn’t happened since World War II.  We’d need a supermajority in the Senate and House and we’d need a President who was personally unafraid to take on people who probably aren’t afraid to use assassination as a problem-solving technique.

But I’m game to see it done.  I just think it’s important not to kid ourselves.  Winning an off-year election or even winning the Congress and Presidency is far from sufficient to make this happen.  Mitch McConnell is bought and sold.  Half of the Congress is too.  We’re so far from seeing anything happen that it’s hard to even imagine how it would.  But let’s see it play out.  If nothing else it’s fodder for a book.  It’s like watching Rome in the time of Julius Caesar or possibly Caligula.  The bad guys control so much of the playing field that it’s hard to even find the good guys.  But let’s watch it unwind.  At least we can watch the freak show go by.  That’s good for a few laughs.

Plan B is Not the End of the World

So, I had my little outburst the other day.  And I guess it was cathartic because I feel better, cheerful even.  I think it’s good to be able to resolve a dilemma.  Two years is a long time to wait for clarity.  Good.

As I said, I’ll almost be disappointed if there is a red wave.  Having to worry about all the subsequent actions and the vicissitudes of political war is exhausting and when your team is the Stupid Party it can be maddening.

So, let’s not go there today.  Let me think about the other outcome.  Suppose on Wednesday I wake up and the Democrats still control the Senate.  Maybe it’s still 50/50 or maybe they’ve padded their lead.  What does my world look like?  What is my mission?

Well, remarkably little will change right away.  I guess the first fruits will be a long post on the reality of living in post-America.  Hopefully I won’t make it too morose or vitriolic.  But it will certainly be an acknowledgement of the position of the Dissident Right’s motto, “We’re not going to vote our way out of this.”

After that I will take some time and try to formulate my own agenda in this “brave new world” of post-republican American life.  Right now, I don’t know many details but I have a sense that mostly it will be making as many separate connections with like-minded individuals and organizations as I can and try to support all the things that used to be the business of our society to support.  I think I’ll change my writing schedule to provide much more time for fiction writing.  Conservatives are grossly underrepresented in the arts and producing works that reflect our values and sensibilities might be good for morale.

Beyond that I’ll be making a minor foray into local government.  It won’t be much but it’ll keep me involved with my neighbors.  Beyond that I intend to see if I can find some like-minded people to form a social club.  Currently I’m thinking it could involve a rotating weekly poker game.  But we’ll see.  Billiards is also possible.

So, you see, it’s actually not so bad being a man without a country.  First off, you’re no longer responsible for justifying the bone-headed actions of the government to foreigners.  And if you happen to live in a deep blue state, you can pick and choose which individuals and groups you consider your community.  So, if Barack Obama says that doing something is “not who we are,” your answer would be, “What “we” are you referring to?”

One other thing that will change will be the contents of my posts.  All of the uncertainty and speculation on the political happenings of the day will sort of fade away.  I’ll restrict myself to practical considerations like how to avoid the real-world problems faced by people like me living in a dystopia.  No more discussions about Washington politics unless they have a direct bearing on day-to-day life.  Probably more attention paid to what is going on in the red states and whether any progress is being made to resist the feds encroachment of their sovereignty.

So, this is the first step at figuring out what comes after a November fail.  Maybe we’ll get lucky and it’ll go our way.  But if it doesn’t Plan B exists.  And right now, that’s good enough for me.

NY Times Election Poll Result: Democrats Suck

photog Current Events

Well, that’s a paraphrase.  But listen to some of the results that the NY Times survey gleaned:

“The poll shows that 49% of likely voters said they planned to vote for a Republican on Nov. 8 to represent them in Congress, compared with 45% who planned to vote for a Democrat.

The biggest shift came from women who identified as independent voters. In September, they favored Democrats by 14 points. Now, independent women backed Republicans by 18 points — a striking swing given the polarization of the American electorate and how intensely Democrats have focused on that group and on the threat Republicans pose to abortion rights.

The survey showed that the economy remained a far more potent political issue in 2022 than abortion.

“I’m shifting more towards Republican because I feel like they’re more geared towards business,” said Robin Ackerman, a 37-year-old Democrat and mortgage loan officer who lives in New Castle, Delaware, and is planning to vote Republican this fall.

Ackerman said she disagreed “1,000%” with the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and erase the national right to an abortion. “But that doesn’t really have a lot to do with my decision,” she said of her fall vote. “I’m more worried about other things.””

And other Democrats are admitting that economic problems trump partisan views.

““It’s all about cost,” said Gerard Lamoureux, a 51-year-old Democratic retiree in Newtown, Connecticut, who is planning to vote Republican this fall. “The price of gas and groceries are through the roof. And I want to eat healthy, but it’s cheaper for me to go to McDonald’s and get a little meal than it is to cook dinner.””

Apparently, the importance of abortion and gun control was exaggerated (as usual) by the Democrats and their friends in the media.

“While the share of voters focused on guns declined, those who identified abortion as the top issue remained flat, at 5%. There is a sizable gender split on the issue’s significance: 9% of women rated it as the top issue compared with just 1% of men.

In taking over the House in 2018 and winning the Senate and White House in 2020, the winning Democratic coalition during the Donald Trump presidency relied on a significant gender gap and on winning women by a wide margin.  But the poll showed that Republicans had entirely erased what had been an 11-point edge for Democrats among women last month in 2022 congressional races to a statistical tie in October.”

So, as you can see the Times is reporting that even their most reliable useful idiots are ready to throw in the towel and vote for the other side in order to avoid starving and freezing to death.

Now, I’m not saying that I take any of this as guaranteeing a Republican landslide.  Far from it.  There are all kinds of things that can make the outcome worse.  Fraud, Republican cowardice and stupidity and the unexpected.  But what this article does do is frighten and depress the Democrat readers.  They open up their copy of the paper of record and they see this article saying that women are more concerned with runaway inflation than they are about abortion on demand.  They hear that Joe Biden is considered a failed president by more than half the country.  And they hear that most probably the Democrats will be losing the Congress in January.  The idea of their anguish makes me happy.  These are the worst people in the world.  These evil people are responsible for all the pain and suffering this country has been through over the last three years.  For them to be afraid and unhappy is totally just.  I only wish it could be worse.  But for what it’s worth it’s welcome news.

As we’re getting closer to the actual election day it appears that even the most in the tank Democrat outlets are trying to prepare their readers for a nasty shock.  So, we have to ask ourselves can the Democrat election fraud machine generate enough fake ballots to overcome the majority of voters who want to kick out the Democrats.  Well, stay tuned.  There are only three weeks left until the Day of Reckoning.  Then I get to find out what’s what.
