Ok, so Kerry epitomizes that line by Tommy Lee Jones from Men in Black: “No mam; the FBI does not have a sense of humor that I am aware of.” There is generally an inherent danger to credibility when wrong things are done in order to bolster any position. The uproar by those calling themselves “conservative” over Kerry’s remarks is a case in point.
John Kerry is a despicable politician, and as such a despicable egotist and opportunist still chasing a lost cause making bad situations worse. But his remarks causing such “outrage” by Republicans should be taken as the intended insult to Bush and not our troops. God knows Kerry is lacking any credibility and I doubt there is a sincere bone in his body or a shred of integrity and no one is more ill disposed toward this charlatan than I am, but I am little less ill disposed toward Caesar Bush. However, this current attack on Kerry’s remarks is as phony as the photo op of Caesar Bush and Company’s “approving” the fence to protect our borders from the enemy nation of Mexico. Tony Snow “a little astonished” Kerry hasn’t figured it out? Wrong! I would turn this around except for my believing Caesar Bush and Company had already figured it out despite all the raving to the contrary.
No, the silver spoon Kerry is correct about an apology to We the People and our troops being sacrificed to the personal agenda should be forthcoming from the silver spoon Caesar Bush for his lies and duplicity; and there is good reason for Caesar being the Typhoid Mary to GOP candidates this election cycle. But an apology from Kerry is long overdue for his own despicable remarks about those in our nation’s military. However, no one is holding their breath awaiting an apology from either of these politicians even if one were naïve enough to credit them with any sincerity, and in the meantime those in our military and countless civilians continue to die to what purpose? My opinion remains Caesar’s “plan” was to “Get Saddam” and beyond that there was no plan for war or any exit strategy.
Who of us does not want a “free and democratic Iraq?” But winging it and making it up as you go along is not a strategy, and the whole world sees this as the modus operandi of Caesar Bush and Company. Nevertheless, my main criticism remains that once the gauntlet was cast before the growing threat of Islam failing to prosecute a war to win is unconscionable! But whether Republican or Democrat I do not see any emphasis anywhere to prosecute this WWIII as a war to win, and failing this my opinion remains: Bring the troops home to secure our borders and let the Muslims get on with their bloodletting among themselves as they have done for centuries. Eventually some group will seize power and the oil will continue to flow. It’s the Devil’s bargain, but given the circumstances none can legitimately hope for anything better.
And while I am far from being kindly disposed to any politician neither am I kindly disposed to those like Sean Hannity whose ego is comparable to that of Bush and Kerry boasting of how God has blessed him with his perfect career and perfect family. But I remain of the opinion as expressed in the Bible God does not bless a boastful or haughty spirit. It is appropriate for those who believe to express their gratitude to God, but one should not boast of what they believe to be God’s blessings. People are not favorably disposed toward those that boast and how much less God. I am not going to blame God for either blessing or cursing, but rather take heed to Ecclesiastes 9:11,12: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
And I question why such a blatantly pro-ACLU embarrassment like Alan Colmes continues to find a home on FOX news? Fair and balanced? I don’t think so. But then I find Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty far preferable to Wolf Blitzer. But whomever, I welcome all those keeping the heat on the monsters preying on children and the perverts in Hollywood dedicated to making films glorifying violence done to women and children.
Even as a child I seemed to pick up on things in films that jarred, that seemed out of place. Sometimes such things would ruin the whole film for me, much in the way that glance at the camera by Bogart in the last scene of Key Largo spoiled the effect, the one line in Rear Window by Jimmy Stewart to Grace Kelly “If you want to get vicious about this I’ll be happy to accommodate you” really ruined what otherwise was one of the really great Hitchcock films. Nevertheless, the question in Newsweek some time ago “Will today’s stars stand the test of time?” is legitimate. The further question: “Are movies now being made anyone will still watch in 50 years?” The same questions arise concerning music and books. The answer to my mind is a resounding NO! to all these.
Have you watched Casablanca recently? Or Gone With the Wind, Oklahoma or South Pacific? And have you asked yourself if any other book of the past century compared with To Kill A Mockingbird, why no other great work of literature is being written today? To answer the question, it remains the true test of art is time. But in my opinion, there is little from the past few decades in film, literature, or music that will withstand this final judgment of time.
The loss of such great film making, great literature and great music to our young people is incalculable. But no nation that fails to cherish its young has any future as a nation. Nor does it deserve one! And no nation can glorify and legitimize perversion, pornography, gratuitous violence particularly against women and children and evidence anything but a hypocritical pretense of cherishing children! Add to these the failed system of education in America, the many harmful drugs and chemicals pervading America leading to a damaging of brains and the dumbing down of the intellect and you have a generation unable to produce the great art of the past.
William Buckley: “The charge by assorted gentry that James Webb is not qualified to serve as a U.S. senator from Virginia because there are lewdnesses in his published fiction rattles one's faith in democracy.”
How about this Bill; I wrote a novel of 500 pp. without any profanity, sex, or violence. Why try to dignify the use of these things for the sake of political expediency? Why should calling attention to perversion rattle or put anyone’s faith in democracy in doubt, but rather the contrary?
Any minority that makes itself odious to the majority will eventually pay a high price for doing so. This has nothing whatsoever to do with “fairness,” but it is a pragmatic truth of human nature. Perverts are eventually going to pay a high price for their demands for special status by fiat of unjust laws penalizing those who have a quite normal revulsion for perversion. Equally at risk are minorities demanding special status by fiat of unjust laws penalizing the majority. Walter Williams writes “There are some ideas so ludicrous and mischievous that only an academic would take them seriously. One of them is diversity.”
Public Enemy Number One, the universities of America has put our nation at risk; and from the Ivory Tower has pronounced good evil, and evil good. Hitler idolized Wagner for the wide grandeur of his often dark and Weltanschauung, Gotterdammerung operas. Grand Opera is the most exalted and highest art form expressive of the human spirit. But the operas of Wagner have that diabolical, destructive and very nearly nihilistic element Hitler so admired and praised.
Right now the whole world is the stage for the Grand Opera Gotterdammerung Armageddon! The future of the world is at stake in the final dance of this Grand Opera, this Gotterdammerung Armageddon, where the winner takes all! And the final dance now being enjoined between the children of God and the children of the Devil the grand finale will evidence the last one standing as the victor for whom the very soul of all humankind is the prize!
We the People, the good people of America are going to have to come together and denounce evil and pronounce the good to be good, not subject to the “interpretation” of the universities and their product politicians, judiciary, and media. If good people fail in this, America may find itself forced into this last dance with the Devil. And America cannot win dancing to the Devil’s tune. It seems the dance is being forced upon us, but We the People had better call the tune!
