There's a story
Indians tell... those Indian Indians, that is, from the country
they call India, as they must
be... 'bout seven blind men and just one ol’ elephant as somehow dodged Don
Junior’s bullets. An Indian grabs hold its trunk and says "elephants must
be a sort of snake". Another pinches its ear and decides an elephant's
just a big old leaf, covered in wrinkly skin; others as touch its tail, tusks,
feet and so on make up other explanations. None of those blind Indians ever had
one right idea about elephants, on their ownsome,
but, if you slapped 'em all together, why... there it was!
Of course if that
elephant tired of being pinched by blind, from-India-Indians, it might have
just turned round and swatted 'em... then it wouldna
made a pinch of difference what nature of a beast it was! Back in the
eighteenth century, most as could read took comfort in what the likes of Adam
Smith believed: working people were permanently broken in spirit, like farm
animals, by their hard, monotonous labor. So termites thought to pinch 'em
harder, pay them less and less, but finally the hunger in their bellies woke
'em up instead! People got mad, you had the American and French revolutions,
then all kinds of Communist and anarchist seditions and, finally, unions... as
would take another century to shrink back to only 7% of
non-government labor on account of being so corrupted into the uselessness that
even the people whose grandparents they’d saved sneered “Pass ‘em by.”
That is the curse of
Entropy, whether it infects the public or the private sector, left or right. They just can't help
themselves! Dick Nixon was going to make roadkill of
those weenie McGovern Democrats no matter what, in '72, but had to sic the IRS
on his enemies’ list and greenlight the break-in and
coverings-up at Watergate, win Massachusetts and maybe even D.C., he
couldn't help himself! (Djonald Unchained Trump
remembered that and let Muller do his Muellering
around, despite some of his cronies having to go to the klink
but then beached and impeached himself bribing the President of f***ing Ukraine, a f***ing comedian – and on Hunter Biden’s turf,
besides – less the cocaine). We had
Gary Hart doin’ his
thing, as in that movie, then Slick Willie - who had that Arkansas State Patrol,
then his Secret Service, bringing him all the strange as could compete in
quantity, if not quality, with his idol, JFK (the whisky-man's boy, not the pickle
husband as replaced Hillary at State, took his shot in oh four kept flying
around the world telling folks how sorry we Americans are for bein’ Americans and was now, once again, among the top
three or seven Donkey Prospects for the 2020 if convention delegates can’t make
up their minds). Warn't enough! Had to drop his pants
in front of civilians in hotel rooms, finally, desecrate the people's White
House with cigar follies out'n that "Cabaret"
movie. Couldn't help himself! The applause and polls went to Junior's head
after Afghanistan - Congress wouldn't let him invade Iran or Syria, so he dived
into Iraq. We got Edwards, McGravy… whatever his name was… Congressman (and rejected
Mayor) Weiner, the other rich guy in New York and Secretary Flynn. Hastert! Al “I’m good enough, dammit”
Franken! The Urban Spaceman grabbed a
Nobel before even serving a day in office, then pulled troops out’n where they shoulda been
pushed in and vice versa, raised the Nixonian flag on
them thar’ wiretaps and IRS follies and conjured up a
healthcare scheme that, frankly, owed more to Kaiser Bismarck than Karl Marx. Which brought us to the Donald, the midnite Tweeter (apologies to Jagger/Richards),
as paid shady ladies to slap his rear end with pictures of himself – probably
get re-elected because the donkeys think their donkey-feuds more important than
the security and reputation of America, and then got steamed at the European
bankers, the Colombians and Venezuelans, so we invaded Costa Rica. We
couldn't help ourselfies!
Caught with the
fingers in the till and classified documents destination Moscow... Russia, not Idaho... in the storage locker? Repeal the Constitution.
President Joe and
Doctor Jill seem like a nice couple, by contrast… probably too nice.
Too nice to the Taliban, to the tax and
spend liberals, the spend but don’t tax conservatives and to the Manchin Sinema show between them…
too nice to flash mob looters, high school shooters and the billionaires. Too nice to TreaSec Yellin, even after she admitted that she’d flunked the
Inflation Test and to the dolts as ran up student loan bills and whine they
can’t afford even the vig on a hundred twenty five
thou a year. Satan preserve
us from the depradations of the nice people.
A Catfish economy would cut student loan
forgiveness in half after sixty thousand per annum and by nothing above a hundred.
I know that’s unfair to them as have to
live in rent-gouging places on the East and West Coast to get the good jobs as
find techsters and texters
making that hundred thou and surrendering eighty thou back to the slumlords for
their closet-sized apartments, but they’ll just have to move, take their jobs
with them and make those rent-gouging honey traps into Detroit. Better all around.
Entropy can't help
itself either... which is why people keep coming together to kick it in
the nuts every generation or so. It's waited out Teddy and Frank Roosevelt,
Henry and Georgie Wallace, Ross Perot and certain
others, but, as wrote former Democratic Senator David Boren, after the 1995
polls showing 57% of Americans (up to 64% a decade later, 68% now) want at
least one serious third-party option and the feeling’s
even stronger among young people. And that ain’t the
Greens - as want to make everybody drive a $75,000 electric car, eat tofu and
nearly nominated Roseanne to run for President, stage left, before coming out
as a true believer in Trump’s Deep State and the kindly intentions of the
Russians. Nor Libertarians… sorry, Rand,
sorry guy who never heard of Aleppo… you shot your wad in ’16 by not nominating
that computer guy as murdered his neighbors in Belize. (Allegedly.) And they did it again by rejecting Vermin Supreme
in favor of some stiff white guy in a stiff white suit who’d take out his
little Ayn Rand book and hector you like Jehovah’s
Witnesses. Show some guts and if the
G.O.P. treats Djonald the way he treats his own
people and pick… oh… Jeb?, nominate one of the three
latest Capital Riot conspirators as claim to be libs…
Roger Stone, Alex Jones or Steve-O Bannon, "There is no reason to believe that the
United States is immune to major changes in party structure which are impacting
nations like Japan,” Boren warned. “The people will not forever tolerate a
party system which forces them to choose the lesser of two evils."
2020 was not forever
but… on the other hand…
Biden? Trump? Again???
Well, how about RFK
Junior? Or Manchin. Or
Liz Cheney... who says she hates Djonald, but would
poach enough Donkeycrat votes to ensure his
restoration.
As Washington throws
up walls of dried New World Ordure, states are quietly decoupling with a
repressed fury unseen since December, 1859. Oklahoma, Nevada and Tennessee state
legislatures passed various resolutions of unwelcomement
to the UN peacekeepers and two counties on Michigan's Upper Peninsula actually
passed laws against selling 'em food. (Let ‘em eat
herring!) Them
as consider the new immigration laws proposed by POTUS to be bogus have topped
thirty. Sixteen states, now, hundreds
of mayors, city and county administrators and thousands of neighborhood
watchdog committees, as trust neither Washington nor their own state
legislatures, have passed resolutions reaffirming the 10th Amendment that
reserves to them all powers not expressly delegated to DeeCee
and making Wall Street shysters shiver the way people used to do with the
Yellow Fever. And that’s not even
mentioning the near-open state of insurrection in Alaska, as now seems to be
attempting a sesquicentennial revanché with them
Russians or that on-again, off-again Texas Governor as called for mandatory
AK-47 carry in schools, bars and churches, bringing back secession and fighting
the Civil War all over again, went to Washington and now gets catcalled as the moderate in the Trump cabinet.
That online petition
place has now racked up 1.2 million likes
for the likingness of trashing the Constitution and
going back to the Articles of Confederation.
Barry Goldwater went
to his reward believing extremism in the defense of liberty was no vice, but
what people see now in Washington is just plain extremism in the service of
just plain greed, and without a John McCain or Bob Dole to put on the brakes. The only check on the racial and partisan hate
(and proletarian self-hate) as infects gumment is that
the money-boys riding both elephants and donkeys want to be sure
that spoilers don't get into the race. The human face of the Republican Party's
become a corporate bureaucrat as waves “Mein Kampf”
and lays off Americans as, then, get told by Democratic faces in gumment offices that they'll have to submit to urinalysis, anger-management
seminars and twelve page twelve-step forms to fill out before being put on a
waiting list for the children's medicine and surplus cheese.
At least that last
might be a multicultural or intersectionary face. Those idiots among the donkey boys (and girls,
gay little ponies and those mules as possess the gender of either or neither
sex of equine tendancies) have ruint
another good American word… “Awakening” (which, essentially, means to stop
believing in the lies… any lies, told
by any stripe of politician and for any reason)… and, like the piratical
Democrats as low-jacked “progressive”, have gelded the notion with their
cloudy, clown-concept of the “woke” America… meaning any as whom, out of guilt
or greed, enlist in the peanut-gallery of silliness.
One does not have to
be a self-hating rich white liberal to become “awakened” as opposed to “woke”, one simply has to have the capacity for discerning, then
rejecting, the liberal lies as well as those of the so-called conservatives
(i.e. the crooked or just plain mean people). Practicing discrimination!
We shall name the names of the naughty
and nice as our movement progresses and those who espouse meaningless and vapid
language and rituals shall stand exposed by their words and their gestures and
then those as flimflam Americans the way Mister Trump did shall be opposed in
2024.
Our CNC face... race and
gender inclusive, near as I can see the manufacture of it... should be an old
fashioned American milkman, going door to door in his truck (or... once the
oil's gone... a horse and buggy as will recruit more of the greenies to our side). Some Americans of a certain
age remember milkmen, and wish we had 'em back. It's the
Neighborhood Watch volunteer with a wink for the children... and a carbine
slung over his shoulder for them as persist in being up to no good.
What the CNC brings
to America's table is its enthusiasm and... at the
risk of losing the few Virtuecrats as already don't
have us on their list of naughties... a sense of
adventure. Fun, even! For us,
not Vladimir Putin, nor the G-7!
There's an attitude I
take in helping see the CNC erected from the ground up, like a kid at Christmas
experimenting with plastic building logs. Refuse to concentrate on those as
don't fit and get mad, pay attention to those as do and politics can be fun as
taking a pint and rifle out to the county dump to blow away a few dirty rats!
I think we understand
that Donald Trump will win in the primaries (he could have had a chance if a
huge field destroyed one another, but no he has to contend with Kanye siphoning off enough of his votes to throw the
nomination to Mike Pence or somebody from Florida. And if, perchance, he failes, then Trump will run as an independent and vie with
Ye to gain the endorsement of Nick Fuentes. Given the Sharpton/Farrakhan/2Crazy/Jackson
axis of other mattering, nattering blackiness simultaneously deriding their exiled President
and casting him as a martyr, that M-Thirteen "Christian" party as
seems to have come into being after the incumbent broke his promise to deport
twelve million Catholic Mexicans inside thirty days and those beer-drinkin’ conservative Supremes slapped restrictions on just
how much probable cause police needed to dragnet them... might be two
Christian parties jumping the Trump and siphoning off votes from the elephant
men, one pre-millenial, one post!... and stage left,
various leftover Greens flush with roubles,
dropped-out liberals, socialists, gays, bitter Berniecrats,
Hollywood celebrities, feminists and other practitioners of identity
politics... with, maybe, the sons of Brother Ross and the Reform remnants
rallying behind fired attorney Rudy Giuliani (now that his client stabbed him
and Ivanka in the back?); that the powers that be in
the Deep State are preparin’ them Saturday Night Live
clips of him in a dress means ol’ Rood is to be taken seriously as either a
Republican challenger or third (twelfth?) party candidate. Hey – he’s about the right age for the job! Or how about Coffee Man or that other New York
Mayor… not that tossed-out Billy D as polled behind the psychic and those
Mayors of Notre Dame and someplace in Florida last go-round who garnered
Federal jobs for their unelectable gall, but the one with lots of money and his
own magazine, too, as wanted to lock up people who drink soda plus some
inevitable October surprise, and you've got Constitutional goulash as smells
frightening to some, but... to the CNC... reeks of opportunity.
Well, a little
competition... the desperate attempts afoot to close off ballot access to all
but Uncle Joe and the MAGA-millionaire, the pole-vaulting Termite Twins duly
noted... makes for strong bodies, and stronger wills, as are gonna be
necessary. Because when a party founded on Catfish principles of charity,
thrift, justice, enterprise and common sense wins, the Democrats and
Republicans are not just going to let us take over. No... I firmly believe
they'll do anything, up to and including ordering police and
soldiers to fire on our crowds, like in Belarus, Syria, Paris, Hong Kong, Mariupol and Costa Rica, to keep power and, if they refuse,
the DeVos clan will emerge from their caves of exile
and commission their Blackwater mercenaries to mount
a coup. A proper coup... even Betsy Wetsy herself
ratted out Djonald to the one-sixers
to the effect that his plotting wasn’t just evil, it was incompetent. Those ten weeks
between election and inauguration weren't a tenth of the time needed to overthrow
the Constitution and shred documents as would send vast quantities of our
legislative, executive and judicial termites marching off to prison!
Those Indian people I
mention... or, maybe, the Chinese... have a saying: "may you live in the interesting
times". It's a curse. But, the building of Renaissance requires a
cleansing as has to be performed from the ground up, I would prefer to second
Daniel Boorstin, the author and former Librarian of
Congress as coined the term "American Exceptionalism".
We are Exceptional, not only for being the Land of the Free, or
the Brave, (racist slur!), but for having been... and, let us hope, still
being... "the land of the blessedly
Unexpected."
