Replacement Underway

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

We are in a “Catch-22” Situation. The grassroot voters, those Americans who now see clearly that we are losing our constitution, our culture and our country to proponents of bigger and bigger government, have also made it quite clear that the old, unbending, corrupt GOP, long in league with the Democrat Socialist party, is no longer relevant to today’s changing politics. If America is to survive as it once did, the old GOP must be replaced. The sooner the better.

If the GOP, either through skulduggery or by changing convention rules at the last moment, reneges on their pledge to support the Republican candidate, especially if it should be Trump or even Cruz simply to keep either of them out of contention, then for Trump all bets are off and he will feel no obligation to honor his pledge either.

The worst of it is that the GOP itself has thrown out the idea that it might form a 3rd party. What the heck are these people smoking? Apparently, the roots of fiscal criminality run so deep in Washington that the GOP would prefer a woman they can deal with over a conservative Republican they can’t. Does the GOP really want to destroy America?

The very idea of the odious Clinton crime family returning to the White House is too terrible to contemplate. When they departed eighteen years ago they felt compelled, obligated even, like the marauding Vikings of yore, to loot the place, steal the paintings and furniture, roll up the carpets and pry the “W” buttons off all computer and word processor keyboards. I suppose green astro-turf was no longer good enough for them.

I remember seeing photos of the trashed up White House office spaces Clinton’s acolytes left upon their departure before George W. Bush entered. The Democrats Progressive machine works with the efficiency of political Visigoths, claiming what they can, when they can and destroying everything else they can’t control.

Sunday, Mitt Romney was interviewed on the TV speaking heads shows, and basically repeated the hateful words of his pre-debate speech last week. Michigan voters interviewed since have almost as one, condemned Romney’s anti-Trump remarks and continue to pledge their support for the Donald. Romney is well behind the curve. Remember that Romney’s father was once Michigan’s governor and today, Romney’s sister is Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party.

It is apparent that conservatives voters are no longer confused about who they will vote for, no one except it be Trump of Cruz. Both are quite acceptable. It is the party, now thrown into confusion and disarray because they cannot understand why Republican voters can’t or won’t understand that the party must stay politically moderate so the two main parties can govern together to “help the American people.” Well, how’s that been going for us?

Truly, that notion was abandoned decades ago, but they didn’t tell the base. Now that the base has figured it out, they don’t have an answer to simple questions like: why haven’t you defunded Planned Parenthood like you promised, why did you vote for the Omnibus Spending Bill and why haven’t you started the dismantling of Obamacare and the IRS? Instead, in the face of criticism, they now call their base, “uninformed, stupid, rednecks and worse.” It appears they have actually come to believe it. The blowhard John McCain with his bag carrier Lindsay Graham, and now Mitt Romney, complete the trifecta of idiocy that is disguised as conservative leadership. Don’t forget to throw in Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan as well.

Will the Real Contestants Please Come In and Identify Themselves…

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Mitt Romney came, he saw, he stumbled… and confirmed my original pre-debate assessment that his enlistment to denounce Donald Trump as the very personification of wickedness and evil was simply the establishment Republican’s latest desperate attempt to save the Republican old guard from the destruction they truly deserve. The GOP is being remade. Get over it!

My essay of yesterday, Self-Destruction, was written after Mitt Romney made his grand speech and before the GOP’s debate in Detroit. As an aside, I might add that if Romney had made such a speech against Obama four years ago, he might have been President now running for re-election instead of acting as a shill for the desperate GOP crony capitalists who are watching their fortunes going down the drain. Can we be through with Mitt Romney now?

The debate was a Fox News presentation. Megan Kelly was lovely in white and, as I supposed, she did not repeat her direct attacks on Trump but, correctly, asked him questions that have since presented themselves and should have been asked. Trump didn’t need too be there.

It irks me to say it but John Kasich was the only candidate on the dais who actually looked and talked presidential. He has more than enough experience to be Commander-in-Chief and does, in fact, know how to make a budget and control money, but he’s still an establishment man and we all know it. I suppose if gentle Ben had not left the campaign, even Kasich might have looked rabid up there.

Marco Rubio, “Little Marco” as Trump dismissively labeled him, reminded me of my aunts little Yorkshire terrier, an annoying creature always yapping, never stopping, yapping constantly, its little eyes bugging out but able to stay just out of range of a good swift kick and nobody even remotely understanding what it was yapping about. Good by Marco.

Ted Cruz desperately attempted to remain calm, collected and reasoned. He made his usual good points but still allowed himself to be sucked in by the Donald where even he, as accomplished a debater as he is, lost his self-control and ended up in shouting matches while The Donald, shrugged his shoulders and gave the Italian salute.

Ted Cruz, it appeared to me, is joining the ranks of the near exhausted and was losing control of his argument. The media, Fox News included, are looking for the small, slight changes in policy that the candidates want the voters to know, then they will spend hours discussing the minutia that makes news for them. The candidate becomes wearied by the exercise, forgets a point and the press jumps on ‘em like a hen on a June bug.

Except Trump. He’s like the once famous pool player, Minnesota Fats, calm, collected, cool, who never missed an opportunity to quietly refresh himself, shave, even change into a clean shirt and tie, while his opponent, after hours of pool table combat, was slowly reduced to a losing heap of gelatinous protoplasm, sweaty, smelly, out of control, exhausted beyond further play and, soon out of the game. Beware Ted. I think you might be getting some bad advice.

I quit watching after an hour and a half. These things have been reduced to shouting matches where nothing new is revealed, opponents cling to old arguments and point fingers of accusation at the others. In the end, Rubio would never stand a chance against the Clinton machine. Cruz and Trump definitely can. Don’t know about Kasich. Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (4 Mar 2016)

Only in America

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:
Progressive politicians and Republican ‘Elites’ who have freed themselves from the demands of logic and compensate by distorting facts to support theories, have set America on a crash course to oblivion. Should that unhappy event actually occur it will be a thousand years of turmoil before any other such experiment in self-governing, independence and personal freedom will ever come again. For the moment, it is recoverable if concerned Americans act. It will be painful and it will take time but it must happen because time is running out.

In no other country in the history of mankind has its citizens, living under a despot, asserted a combined determined effort to be free of oppression, relieved of taxation without representation, demand equality under the law and demand protection of its citizen’s freedom of religion, to create a country that, by its God given laws and an immutable Constitution made that country exceptional and the envy of the world. Given our country’s darker times of slavery and civil war, America has emerged to become that “shining city on the hill” Ronald Reagan told us about.

Time passes and under a constant barrage of progressive propaganda and implementation of feel good theories of “I’m okay, your okay,” we dropped our defenses, ignored our experiences, disregarded the lessons taught by our history, and we listened to the devil. We have politicians that think they can govern free men better then free men can govern themselves. America’s political leadership, Ivy league intellectuals who never held a job, never earned a working salary, never met a payroll, or paid taxes on their own efforts, would tell the rest of us how to be happy, so long as we shut up, keep up, pay up and do as they tell us.

A Trump presidency, or a Cruz one even will, hopefully provide the shock and awe to start the recover of our nation and return it to its once proud eminence. We have many problems for which no one takes personal responsibility. The problems are always someone else’s fault. It’s was Bush’s fault, it’s the wicked Republicans, it’s this and that but never the fault of the politicians own failed policies. Remember, all of this is driven by money. Politics gives the slick speaker, the thief and the scam artists the perfect vehicle to engage in the organized looting of a country’s treasury under the cover of authority. The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Big companies, in league with big government, heck, they made government big, demand cheap labor, even if it means moving manufacturing facilities abroad for that cheap labor (some of it slave), while ignoring that our own citizens lose their jobs, their homes, and freedoms to face increasingly hostile ideologies of social reforms that they claim are better for us.

I understand how capitalism works but, if it weren’t for unions squeezing every cent they could out of manufactures, perhaps the companies wouldn’t have had to move abroad. But there has to be a limit beyond which even the most money starved corporation will not up root and go. Minimum wage, the stupidest idea to come down the pike, is not the answer. It is simply another manifestation of a feel good, job killing theory, a progressive salve, to sooth the feelings of the unskilled herd workers, to keep them content to their existence in unearned pleasures, to desire what other people earn for them, and to disrespect anyone who complains.

By the time you read this, we’ll know if there is still a Republican party. If it survives, it will not be recognizable as it once was. Any Republican politician who defects because of a Trump or Cruz victory is simply telling us by their action that they were on the take, could not be trusted and could be accused of corruption. Only in America! Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (01 Mar 2016)

 

 

 

The Attacks Begin

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:

I see panic in the streets, politically speaking, at least on the GOP side. The campaign phenomena that is Donald Trump, now clearly acceptable to the conservative voting masses and destructive to the old time political formulas of success, has thrown the soon to be unemployed consulting class and news maker mouthpieces into confusion, despair and disarray. Still, while floundering after each Trump success, they are trying to rally.

I once had great respect for a relative new comer to the opinion stage, Red States Eric Erickson, a recovering attorney, CNN reporter and supposedly an astute commentator of the political scene. However, since the apparently unstoppable Trump Train of primary successes, he has turned into a nearly rabid opponent of Trump. He wants to keep “politics as usual.”

Actually, Erickson unloaded Red State on somebody else (and it hasn’t improved), and has created another blog site called Resurgent with such frightful headlines as: Donald Trump Gets Hillary Clinton Elected The Importance of Disclosing This Immediately #NeverTrump; Dear Donald, It’s Not You, It’s Me; Last Night The Good Associated … Trump Delenda Est! and, Trump and Kerry Have the Same Theory on Dealmaking. Let the attacks begin!

 The attacks from the elite class will never end until Trump either wins or loses decisively. Judging by the vitriol of the assaults since Nevada, it must have been decided in the elites political ranks that Trump must not only lose at the polls but his ideas must be absolutely destroyed, ravaged and forgotten. They could be dangerous ideas for us sheep, after all.

I don’t believe I’ve seen such loathing expressed by organized Republican policymakers and their mouthpieces ever before. They are losing control and don’t know how to stop it. The fearful headlines appearing daily about a Trump presidency, were probably originally drawn up for the equally despised Ted Cruz who is arguably the only real conservative left standing. But Trump has swept all tactics aside and opened political scabs that are starting to bleed. The voters have noticed. Ted may prevail. He would be a great President supported by the base, but still, he is beholden to those PAC’s that financially support his campaign while Trumps is not.

So far, no rabid argument against Trump, “the tell it like it is” candidate, who has ripped open the gossamer fabric of establishment nonsense and focused a bright beam of truth on our border problems and the flooding of illegal’s and Islamic Jihadists into our country without controls, has not dissuaded the minds of voters anywhere. “We can’t have that. Let the attacks begin!”

We ignorant base voters don’t care that his building companies may have hired eastern European craftsmen, especially since hoards of low skilled laborers are invited across the borders by the one world government crowd to do just that. We don’t believe it anymore when the media (Erickson, Red State,& et. al.) try to create flaws in Trumps character, his business practices, his bankruptcy’s or his family. We see Trump as a needed leader and the Mitch McConnell’s, Paul Ryan’s, Christi’s, Bushes and Rubio’s as the establishments attempt to keep the status quo. They change nothing, protect nothing and maintain a tight control over the US treasury (tax payers money) to promote their own crony friends and businesses.

Trump has shown voters the light. He has exposed the man behind the green curtain and he fights, and he knows all the characters. He wants to make America great again. We’re not looking for another baby Jesus. We’re looking for a leader. Take your pick. Trump or Cruz but Remember, freedom is the goal, and the constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em!

The Coming Great Struggle

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Some have complained that the polemics that issue from my little essays leave an aura of communal destruction in them against which they feel they must protect themselves. But still, they are assuaged by the deeper feelings of political understanding that leaves them sweating with anticipation, trembling in fear and uncertain of the future. What will happen next… to them?

Nonsense! I write straight from my experiences, with the hard facts at hand and a singular point of view to be made, the heart be damned. I do not invest time and effort to compete with the drivel that’s to be harvested from romance novels, Harlequin books, space adventures or essays by Gloria Steinem. I write to attack the senses, alert the systems, awaken the subconscious and prepare the inexperienced for the battle that is surely coming.

Our current generations, those who did not volunteer for service or experience the horror of combat by volunteering in war zones, have missed the soul altering understanding that comes with war time sacrifice where nobody is exempt. None of us expect to die in the next minute but, we can, because of Marxist Progressivism, the philosophy that releases criminals from prison to continue to prey on unaware citizens, and floods our streets with jihadists determined to convert or kill us. That philosophy is here now, and we stand innocently by waiting our turn to become its victims. We read about the dangers every day. A society divided (by Obama) against itself, a feckless social policy of government stealing from the earners to award the losers, initiating education programs designed to reduce the cognitive reasoning level of one race to the gutter level of another, are not only merely symptoms of the decay but an expression of intent.

One has only to look at Cuba and Venezuela to see where America could soon be headed. By design, Americans are being denied the truth of history, replaced with a multicultural playing field that is gradually permitting the hegemony of the lesser classes over the most capable ones. The rapid attrition of our older, experienced generations is leaving our younger Americans bereft of their experiences, and the rest, lied to about theirs.

The WWII generation is almost gone. The Korean and Vietnam veterans are not far behind. They are memorialized, written about, eulogized and then forgotten except for once or twice a year, or on other special occasions. What’s lost, and cannot be passed on, is the smells of blood, sweat, tears, the sounds of combat, the fear created with adrenalin pumping through the bodies of men who wish they were somewhere else and yet, did their duty and survived.

Today’s generation unknowingly await their deaths at the hands of society’s predators. The dangers comes from drugs put in their bodies, gun put to their heads or clubs wielded by urban thugs, lost souls with no training, no understanding, no compassion and no future except prison or, more likely, their own probable deaths, also as victims.

The Progressives cannot proceed so long as Americans remain armed. The clear and present dangers are starting to seep in. All that is wanting is the strength and determination to act and break away from the sheep-fold ideas that are engulfing us. We need personal training to handle weapons, an understanding of the laws concerning self-defense and knowing the magic words that must accompany a police interrogation when a potential victim is, happily, left the winner. We are running out of time. Our children who have not yet been lost can still be recovered and trained. A new direction to an old, successful past is where to head. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (25 Feb 2016)

 

 

Disasters in the Making

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:

Do we ever see any reaction from Obama to his collapsing foreign policy except to blame Republicans, blame Bush or blame the voters for not understand his genius? America’s foreign policy is a disaster because the lessons learned over decades of prior diplomatic experience have been recklessly chucked out the door so a brilliant amateur, and his equally amateurish executive advisers, can apply their own theories of getting along with our neighbors. It’s failed socialism and is simply a continuation of the 1960’s theory of “I’m okay, your okay.”

The middle-east is blowing up in his face. Unidentifiable groups of Islamic fighters are killing one another with happy abandon; countries are changing sides or arming up, artillery firing is marking boundaries for the beginning of the next war (if it hasn’t already started) and no one trusts anyone else and certainly no one trusts America any more, especially Israel.

As a first time president Obama set the course for our diplomatic distress when he nominated his deadly enemy, a politically unskilled woman whom he hates, Senator Hillary R. Clinton, to negotiate Americas foreign policy in his name. She flames out after four years and then a complete nincompoop, Senator John, the Vietnam vet, Kerry, a failed presidential hopeful, is nominated to replace her. Our government is run by senators. What could go wrong here?

The current conflict in the middle-east lies, completely in Obama’s hands because of his unilateral decision, against professional military advice, to withdraw Americans military forces from Iraq while at the same time destroying the stable country of Libya and attempting the reckless removal of Syria’s president Assad. All is in turmoil and confusion.

Because of Obama’s crypto-Islamic propensities, he refuses to identify Islam as a threat to the the West and by so doing, encourages Iran to proceed with their empire building. The unstable situation in the middle-east is now even drawing Turkey in to morass of armed conflict. Russia of course, invited themselves in, and now, Obama has no one to advise him on how to get out of his mess.

Taking a clue from the GOP, his only possible course of action is to delay until such time as he can kick the diplomatic can down the road for the next president and Congress. This disaster will leave his legacy footprints forever in the sands of time. How do you spell “loser?”

If it seems that Obama has slightly changed his spots, it is nothing more than a stratagem to make it appear he is doing something. If he sends a battalion or two of SF troops, without support, and we start seeing some of those soldiers being beheaded on You Tube, what will his reaction be? One can only wonder. Take another golfing trip to Hawaii.

The Trans Pacific Partnership that the US and eleven other nations signed in New Zealand this month (3 Feb), if ratified by Congress, will do nothing to help America or its downtrodden workers. In fact, it will erode our national sovereignty and place too much power in the hands of U.S. and international corporations. Interestingly, has anybody noticed that the people who support free trade are not the same people who lose their jobs when these deals are made? They’re alway lawyers, lobbyists or liberal arts professionals who don’t have to compete against foreign labor and who prefer cheap, uneducated labor to keep costs down. Disaster!

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go contact your senator(s) and tell them to hold their vote at least until after 20 Jan 2017. (19 Feb 2016)

Obama’s Direction, or Ours?

Business
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:

What more evidence do Americans need to be convinced that Obama hates America and is doing everything he can do to destroy it? Obama is an evil person, a crypto Islamists, constantly testing the resolve of the American people and our own weak politicians. Why do we continue to accept the evils of this man? Why does our Senate even consider any course other than nullification to neutralize Obama’s unconstitutional executive actions? Why do our politicians join the chorus of the high pitched screamers defending Islam as the religion of peace, while ignoring the depredations committed almost daily around the world in its name and, at the same time pointing the accusing finger of “Islamaphobic” at any dissenter?

If you believe that islam, with it’s soul deadening Shariah Law, is compatible with the US Constitution as the rule and guide of our lives then you are part of the problem. If you do, then it’s because you are yourselves muslim or, you stupidly subscribe to the belief that if you agree with them, you won’t be required to submit. “Let’s all be happy and live together in peace and harmony.” Can our people actually be this stupid? Yes, they can!

Islam, as we see it unfold before us in Europe and the Middle-east, is a fascist ideology that demands obedience from its adherents. Just as most of the citizens of pre-Nazi Germany accepted Hitler as their leader, mostly to avoid being beat up by his brown shirted thugs, by the time they realized their danger, it was too late. Here, it is not too late, yet!

Apologists say of Obama, “Oh, he hasn’t killed people like Hitler did.” Well, not yet! But, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin and Assad, despots all, killed millions of their own people after they gained power. They convinced their people that the Government would protect them and therefore there was no need for citizens to have arms to protect themselves. They destroyed all opposition soon after they took away all guns and made illegal any right to assemble or dissent. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

The Second amendment of our Constitution placed no restrictions on the weapons Americans could own. Of course it was black powder and one shot guns then but, since then, except perhaps for full automatic weapons, the constitution still authorizes Americans to be armed. Our founders suspected that one day our freedoms would be tested. Well, that day is upon us. That was the reason they created the 2nd Amendment. They did not want Americans of the future to be equipped with flintlocks while the tyrants would be armed with more modern weapons.

The founders wrote the Constitution in such away that it would not need interpretation and they knew that one day, the rights guaranteed by that document and the people were going to be tested by some tinpot despot if he could get away with it..

Foreseeing the future, Thomas Jefferson, said: “The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the Blood of Patriots and Tyrants.” He was an early President of this fledgling country and refused to pay ransom to the muslim Barbary pirates. Jefferson declared war on them them and we won.

And now we have a capon in power that if given the chance will deliver our country over to Islam  by weight of numbers if needs be. America is facing a period of turmoil that will last a couple of generations at least. Our earliest hope to reverse this dreadful outcome, is to place real constitutional Americans in the seats of power and remove the weaklings ASAP. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (18 Feb 2016)

The Politics of Justices

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:

Expect Obama to try every stratagem, trick, threat, or hollow promise that allows him to make a signature appointment of another leftist hack to fill the now vacant seat of Antonin Scalia, Supreme Court Justice, recently deceased. Good or bad, for Obama it would be the ultimate act for his legacy. I said, expect Obama to try “every trick, threat or hollow promise” to achieve his ends. I am specifically thinking of the empty suit who is the senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell because, upon McConnell lies the ultimate answer to this non-pressing problem.

McConnell has developed a history of saying one thing and doing the opposite. The senate vote reauthorizing extension of the Import-Export Bank is a case in point. His lies to the Senators, exposed by Ted Cruz, is another. There are others as well! Mitch McConnell is a liar, and cannot be trusted to do the right thing. He must be watched like a coiled snake in the grass.

After Justice Scalia’s untimely death at the Texas Dude Ranch, Obama, who was apparently on a golfing holiday in Palm Springs, Ca., made a few remarks drawing upon the words found in our constitution. He said, appointing a suitable candidate for senate confirmation was “a responsibility he takes seriously…” Really? The duty to faithfully execute the duties of Office of the President of the US, to protect and defend the Constitution of the US are responsibilities he constantly ignores. His legacy will be that his sense of duty leads him to exploit the features of his office that provides him cover for trashing the very document that created his position in the first place.

Hillary Clinton has been awarded the greatest gift of her campaign, a political non-problem that will suck the air out of all campaigns, including hers, to stay out of jail. While nobody pays attention to anything except how the awful GOP is thwarting government, the rule of law, & etc. etc., election time still draws near while she disappears back into the obscurity of her campaign.

I believe we can probably expect the following stratagem to unfold: Obama will delay his choice while the leftist media hypes the Democrats demands to return the Supreme Court to its full nine membership immediately and that Obama should make the selection. His announcement could take up to two months so the maximum damage can be done to the Republican party.

After Obama’s first choice, a volunteer for the destructive sacrifice to follow, with the anguished outcry and demands from the left to get on with it, the GOP will cave in (they always have) and Mitch McConnell will move Obama’s real choice, a Kagen, Sotomayor clone, forward.

McConnell’s collapse will be heralded as true statesmanship by McCain, Graham and the few other GOP moderates in the Senate who feel compelled to “reach across the aisle” to demonstrate true bipartisanship. The cries of ‘traitors, traitors” from the likes of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and possibly Marco Rubio, will be “poo-pooed” by the Democrats as another typical, angry right-wing attempt to crash Obama’s government and bring it to a halt. Oh, woe!

As president, Obama has the constitutional right, not the power or the duty, but the right to appoint candidates to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court. The Senate Majority leader has the right, the power and the duty to let ‘em die, unanswered on his desk until after 20 January 2017. McConnell must proceed with the same determination that Obama will employ to stop any Obama appointment until after Obama is gone, and hopefully forgotten. Will he? I don’t know!

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (16 Feb 2016)

Saturday Night’s GOP Debate

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan

 
Let’s hope the GOP debates are finally over. I can’t go through another one of those debates. The Greenville, SC event was a tawdry spectacle eliciting nothing new except to illuminate what a bunch of idiots we have running for office. I sincerely excuse Dr. Ben Carson who is always a gentleman and demonstrated it yet once again; And, as much as I hate to say it, John Kasich, who is from Ohio, managed to retain some sort of dignity, and he is excused as well.

Hot Air, a political internet newsletter, even has a stupid poll based on the noise level of moans, groans, cheers and jeers from the audience and, seriously reported audience reaction as an important polling device. What kind of data collection is that? Are we really supposed to gauge our choices on noise from a packed WWF style audience? Give me a break!

What the heck got into Jeb Bush? Watching Jeb spittle and drool while trying to think up the next awful word to say about Trump, who was already ten steps ahead of him, was a pathetic display of desperation coupled with incompetence, driven by fear. Jeb should have quit the race long before now. His lame attacks on Trump, with his offended schoolboy face, lacked the killer instinct that Trump possesses. He flounders around in panic wondering why all his PAC money can’t buy him the nomination because he’s a Bush. He deserves it, doesn’t he?

For awhile, I believed the audience must have thought they were at a wrestling arena until they realized the show got better than fake falls by grunt and groan artists. This was a real blood letting, and for what purpose? The enemy is Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. That’s where these candidates should have been pointing their barbs. Nothing new can be said about Trump, Bush, Rubio, or Cruz that we haven’t already heard. Yelling about it at this late stage, and egged on by a CBS monitor, only diminishes the yeller. Jeb, go home. Panic doesn’t fit you!

So, if we are to judge by the noise, contrary to Hot Air’s assessment, then Ted Cruz came out dusted, maybe bruised, but certainly ahead. Trump allowed himself to be baited into revealing unnecessary retorts of pique when he could have simply stood there, waved his hand nonchalantly like he does and say nothing. He would have been a winner for sure but now, everyone sees he has a thin skin that can be pricked. Sad.

Listening to master Rubio is also becoming boring. I must admit that Chris Christi was probably right. Rubio’s polished sound bites delivered with his schoolboy enthusiasm never varies. He say’s exactly the same words over and over again. Marco needs a term or even two as Florida’s governor before trying to run for President again. Enough said!

I gave Kasich a pass in the first paragraph because, except for polite applause, the audience reaction was about nil, neither good or bad and certainly he garnered no jeers. His message has remained the same, about how good he has been as a money manager. Maybe that might stick once the base gets really tired of this yelling nonsense. Time will tell.

For Trump, the audience was packed with hostel Indians and he attacked them straight away. Oops! He allowed himself to get snookered when he didn’t need to. Not a good show for him but he lost nothing by it. Basically it’s a waste of time for Trump to even be there because he’s already captured the conservative base. Nobody cares what Bush thinks about him and the sooner he realizes that the better. Isn’t this fun?

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (14 Feb 2016)

One Mans Terrorist is Another Mans Patriot…

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:
Continuing my theme of the Obama administration being the greatest threat to America and American’s, we are now treated to a soft sell plan by the FBI to alert American’s to be aware of their plan to protect us from domestic terrorism. The message is to teach us to be aware of those web sites dedicated to radicalizing and recruiting our youths lest they should act on behalf of terrorist groups to spread hate and discontent. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

The FBI wants to protect us, they say, from violent extremists teaching radical ideologies to impressionable youths. They want to encourage community groups, schools, churches and even families to participate in their anti-terrorism program by monitoring what our youths are saying, doing and watching on their computers. Reading didn’t make the cut.

Upon viewing the FBI web site closely however, one can not help but notice that they are not warning us against the murderous threats from Islamic Jihadism wanting to spread Shariah Law throughout the land. The FBI is focusing instead on such innocuous groups as the Sovereign Citizens Extremists, Anti-abortion extremists, animal rights and environmental extremists, white supremacy extremists, anarchist extremists and militia extremists. In fact, if you were to ‘click’ on each site enumerated, a propagandized description comes up telling the viewer just how awful that group is. They even have a quiz one may take for each group.

Not listed as dangerous, yet, are Tea Party Activists, Constitutional activists, Black Lives Matter extremists, Islamic Jihadists or Democrats. Lest you have may have forgotten, so far, not one murderous outrage committed here in America, with the single possible exception of Timmothy McVey and the Oklahoma bombing, has been done by a tea party member, or a member of any constitutionalist group. By the way, early evidence that was quickly surpassed in the initial Oklahoma Federal Building investigation, showed that Timmothy McVey apparently did have contact with a then unidentified Islamic group.

Indeed, all the killings that make the news have been perpetrated by Islamic Jihadists, i.e.: NYC, twice, Ft. Hood, Tx., Garland, Tx., San Bernardino, Ca., and Chattanooga, Tn.. All the other shootings that sometimes make the news, including the daily slaughter in Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston and New Orleans, have been committed by black or Mexican criminal gangs, registered Democrats or unstable white youths from liberal democrat families.

The most dangerous man in America, Barak Hussain Obama is, I believe, intent on creating a massive outrage before his term is up to justify martial law. That any FBI agent is even remotely involved in such nonsense would be a surprise to me. I reckon the people who create and monitor the web site are not Special Agents of the FBI but are hired or appointed acolytes of the politically controlled, inept, un-American party now in the hands of a crypto-marxist crackpot!

That “violent extremists” here are considered domestic American terrorists, but not Islamists, will be their excuse to further erode, by their own violence, our Constitutional freedoms. Since whites are the 60% majority of the population, then they must therefore, compose the majority of the terrorists that must be dealt with. That’s Obamas thinking. Of course those “terrorists” designated by Obama, so far are not guilty of any violence, destruction of property, deaths or violent assaults except, to be victims of the government in Burns, Oregon themselves. I do not include the animal rights and environmental terrorists in my calculation because they have done considerable damage to private property but they’re not killing anybody.

Who Owns What, Where? Follow the Money!

The final arrests of the four remaining American protesters in the Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon, is simply another step by a rogue government of jihadists, marxists and fascists, to force, at the point of a gun, the compliance of Americans to the unconstitutional practices of a criminal administration. There can be no police state if the people refuse to comply with it. The  few in Burns Oregon have tried and have shown other Americans the way.

This incident, like the Bundy Ranch standoff last year, raises the question of who actually does own the vast stretches of lands in the west, long owned by cattle ranchers, farmers and miners to create the wealth that made America the formidable nation it is. To whom does it belong?  the individual states and therefore the people, or the federal government? This is a question that absolutely must be resolved.

Government, long has arbitrarily made decisions for us, often without our consent but always with our silent acquiescence, because we didn’t know what to do. Over the decades, Americans have come to trust government enough to permit them to make decisions for us while we worried about creating families, earning a living to support and educate our children and to grow old with a sound retirement, hopefully surrounded by our children and grand children.

History, if we study it for the truth it contains, tells of many collusions between government and special interests, like banks, railroads, highway builders and so on. Of course right of ways, had to be claimed (from whom?), buffalo hunted to feed work crews, and farms plowed to provide a greater abundance of food stuffs.

It cannot be argued against that most of these things, early in our history, helped promote an industrialized and agriculturally sufficient America to permit us to claim the exceptionalism that Obama doesn’t recognize. He wants to tear it down, in the name of fairness and income equality and, in so doing, replace the white European-American culture, with its advances in science, industry and medicine, with sub-continent savages, goat herders and camel jockeys.

The feckless arrogance of the federal government, starting as far back as Woodrow Wilson, has enabled them to get away with their Socialization plans because for every one step the Socialists took forward, they would claim three because there was no push back by Republicans who were supposed to defend the constitution. The Republicans have absented themselves from the governing process for so long that they have grown accustomed to it. Now, it is almost too late. We now need a bunch of new Republicans who will do what they pledge to do.

Two hundred years ago, government and industry together, whether for wealth, Indian control, fur trade monopolies or mining and timber concessions, worked fairly well together because most men were at least honorable and kept their word. While no man is expected to work without just compensation, to cheat the systems, as politicians are doing with accounting frauds, reveals that Duty, Honor and Country are only words chiseled onto a wall. Most politicians today, men and women, are without honor, scruples, or dignity. Most lie for a living and most actually get away with it.  Only a police state can save them now, but not for long.

The Burns, Oregon protesters, acting in a righteous cause, clearly did pledge their lives, fortunes and scare honor to defend their beliefs and the Constitution against a rogue and out of control government. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go join ‘em, if you can! (11 Feb 2016)

America and Obama’s Islamic Faith

Business

Opinion by George McClellan:

Obama’s early February visit to the ISIS Mosque in Baltimore, and the asinine remarks he made in the wake of that visit proclaiming Islam to be a religion of peace, but under attack by Christians, are acts by Obama setting the scene for the coming Marshal Law event he intends to inflict on America before he’s gone, if he can get away with it. Any acts of terrorism attributed to Islam (he cannot deny “allahu akbar) are actually crimes committed by apostates to the faith.

A careful review of the National Defense Authorization Act, as I have repeated many times, contains an unconstitutional provision that authorizes the President of the US or the Secretary of Homeland Security, to designate any person or group they don’t like as “terrorist” and, to save the country, it authorizes the apprehension of those designated groups and to incarcerate them until the emergency is over. In fact, the whole Patriot Act is unconstitutional and needs to be scrapped along with the Political Correctness, and the politicians, who supports it.

Obama’s recent rhetoric, and AG Loretta Lynch’s as well, clearly shows that they mean to identify Constitutionalists, NRA members, Tea Party Patriots, & etc., as Americas worst terrorists and that they are prepared to act immediately to enact those onerous provisions. If they are to succeed they need to disarm us immediately and completely. I can not see that happening without imposition of tax rules requiring firearms registrations on penalty of heavy fines and/or imprisonment, because house to house attempts will result in dead policemen and Americans. By the way, it has not worked in Connecticut or in NYC. Those laws were neutered by noncompliance and no policeman but one, was stupid enough to try confiscation.

I believe that before Obama leaves office he will indeed initiate a massive terrorist attack here, against a mosque in a large city, where hundreds may be killed or injured. That act will confirm his public statements and give him the manufactured excuse he wants to proclaim marshal law. Does anybody not remember the Reichstag Fire in Berlin? I don’t believe Obama has enough people to do it, like Hitler had his SA and SD hoodlums, and should he try, it would be a rash act because the American people are not with him.

We’ve seen glimpses of this program in development in Burns, Oregon, like happened at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada last year. The Bundy seizure was a trial run initiated by the government. The ranchers in Oregon precipitated their own event when the government wasn’t prepared. Both events were glimpses into what’s coming.

We already know the muslim mind. It literally follows the teachings in the Koran. Muslim victimhood is a myth. Muslim mosques are not being attacked, wild-eyed Christians are not running around screaming “Praise Jesus” while bashing in muslim heads. Obama said “we’ve seen children bullied, we’ve seen mosques vandalized” and “It’s not who we are. We’re one American family. And when any part of that family begins to feel separate or second class, it tears at the heart of our nation” One may ask “where did he come up with that nonsense?”

Clearly, Obama’s claims are not supported by FBI statistics and that Islamophobia, as he would have us believe, is completely unfounded. Perhaps it shouldn’t be. Islamophobia should be to America Christians what Political Correctness is to American Communists. A working plan that protects our own collective beliefs from destruction. We simply do not need muslim here in America. They don’t fit, they wont fit and they will kill all who object to their demands. It is written!

There is Panic in the Ranks

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:

Reading the supposed unbiased post Iowa poll results declaring Marco Rubio to be the best choice as our Republican candidate because he’s the only Republican who can defeat Hillary in the General Election, smacks of hostile resentment and a deep seated fear lurking within the GOP establishment that things just might not go their way. This is troubling news indeed and suggests some form of chicanery may be afoot. We’ll know for sure if Jeb Bush actually becomes our candidate.

Haven’t we heard this story from them before: “Only McCain can beat Obama” and, “only Romney can beat Obama?” A full court press is underway by the media, in league with the GOP north-eastern establishment Republicans, to make sure they choose, if it’s not to be Hillary, our (their) candidate for us so they can continue business as usual.

Poor ol’ Jeb Bush. He’s so far back in the running they need a spot light to tell if he’s still really there at all. Things for him are so bad they drug out his brother and even trotted out his sainted ol’ mother, Barbara Bush, to tout for him like betting on a racehorse.

The fact is, anybody can beat Hillary! Just consider what that aging old socialist dingbat, Bernie Sanders, is doing to her. She has no record of accomplishment to defend, she has to guardedly explain why she’s keeping one step ahead of the FBI, possibly going to prison soon, and then concocts such obvious lies that there is a growing deep despair within the democrat ranks.

Hillary is shameless and without character. She even tries to include Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice as co-conspirators by claiming they did the same thing when they occupied that office, i.e.: “everybody does it!” (use private email server) I don’t think so!

The Dems. even drug out their first woman Sec. State, Madeleine Albright who said there is a ‘special place in Hell for women who don’t support women,’’ meaning Hillary. So, support Carley Fiorina instead. The Democrats are in panic folks. Any candidate running against her will win.

To further signal their growing panic, newspaper magnate Rupert Murdock suggested, perhaps tongue in cheek, that John, the Vietnam Vet, Kerry, should be ready to stand in for his second smack down. And, don’t let’s forget that Uncle Joe Biden lurks in the wings ready to spring to the rescue as his last chance. I wonder where he keeps his mask, costume and cape?

Having said that, conservatives still have a serious problem with how to deal with our ineffective, do nothing Republican politicians, those that don’t keep their promises and vote to fund every program Obama demanded without a whimper in the Omnibus Spending bill. Sad, very sad.

Watching the New Hampshire GOP debate changed little for me. It’s a shame that Chris Christi is one of those eastern establishment company men types. He all but chewed up Marco Rubio tonight and spit him out. He’s great fun. Trump is Trump and his answer to the question, “how does he define a conservative” could have been easily answered if he said “hey, I’m a capitalist, a wealth creating businessman.” the best conservative by definition there is!  And gentle Ben, who does have answers, simply gets forgotten in the heat of rhetorical debate. I know that John Kasich is governor of Ohio, that he balanced budgets, made things grow and still loves little children, but he’s still annoying. Ted Crus continues to be a spot on debater and my only big question is: Where was Carley?

What Way is Progress?

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:

Obama promised Americans “Hope and Change.” He also promised to fundamentally change America. He did not promise to do it in the best interests of Americans. We have since learned that “Hope” is not a policy and “Change” is unaffordable. We should have learned this lesson in Obama’s first four years in office. For Obama, progress is backwards like is his reckless “leading from behind” foreign policy schemes!

Hillary, The Awful, represents neither “Hope” or “Change.” except she hopes, this time, that she actually gets to become president. Clearly, her mission, besides enjoying the novelty of being the first female president, is to complete the looting of the US treasury, the Saudi Arabian treasury, Russia’s treasury if she can open it, and anybody else who has a couple of coins to rub together. She is the female version of a Rumplestiltskin as she clutches her gold coins, and the Clinton Foundation is her counting house. Of course, if she does become president, a steady stream of young female flesh will be made available for the First Husband if only to keep him occupied and out of her way. Progress, for her means to remain stationary until the smoke clears, then get out of Dodge. By then, it will be all over for America anyway.

Obama’s “change”, what is it? We know the unemployed labor force is disastrously high and that unskilled, low cost workers are being imported to fill labor type jobs that Americans once held. That’s change, certainly. Also, Americas skilled technical work force is being replaced by skilled foreign technocrats under a corrupted visa waiver program. That’s change too! Who is it good for? Not Americans, that’s for sure.

Jeb Bush used an interesting word in the debates. He said there has to be a “Consensus”, presumably meaning agreement(s) between…political parties? Political parties and the voters? Opposing candidates of political parties? Big money donors and political candidates? Big money donors and voters? Consensus with whom, I ask? There are barriers here too deep to ford, too high climb and too broad to go around. It’s the difference between a Constitutional America that was once the envy of the world and the squalid socialism Obama and Clinton want that we saw in Mother Russia, Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Apparently we have not learned our lessons.

What consensus can be obtained when there is a divergent viewpoint on where the United States should be headed? Trump and Cruz supporters look far beyond the contest between Conservative and Socialist forms of government. What they see, what we see, is a festering isolation between our elected politicians and the American people. The voters correctly believe that a sufficient number of politicians have been bought and paid for by financial interests so great and so formidable that no change can ever come from within.

How else does one explain the populist Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders phenomena? The insiders hate and fearTed Cruz. They only fear the Donald and only laugh at the aging Sanders, the man behind the curtain in the wonderful city of Oz. I jest, but Sanders may just knock the criminal Hillary Clinton off her pedestal and right into prison. That’s a consensus!

Obama for Supreme Court Justice? It’s happened once before with Taft. What hasn’t happened before is Obama, or any President, to be nominated to prison for treason. That could happen under a Cruz or Trump presidency. As Hillary said herself, “Nobody is too big not to go to jail.” Prophetic words indeed. And, that certainly defines “hope and change,” doesn’t it?

No Accountability For Dishonesty

Opinion

Opinion written by George McClellan:

Many feel that government is incapable of doing anything honestly and will, by habit, consistently operate in a corrupt manner that alway’s ends up screwing the tax payers. The formula is so entrenched that any GOP reformer will wilt in the face of stiff opposition to any attempts at correction. It must have something to do with all the very rich lawyers up there.

There is little hope of ever correcting the constant stream of injustices tax payers suffer at the hands of politicians who are beholden to Unions, Wall Street bankers, sanctified non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) and liberal do gooders groups who are all permitted to wallow in the trough of tax payer largess through grants, quantitive easing schemes and awarded contracts. This corruption, hidden behind the gossamer curtain of doing good deeds, causes untold destruction to the free enterprise system and does so without accountability.

Consider the sad case of former first lady and Democrat presidential hopeful, Hillary Rodham Clinton, once a lawyer, whose active time in the trenches of government service left a trail of bribes, deaths, destruction, misery and despair. Yet, she’s still abides among us, unfazed and untouched wanting to do even more good deeds “for the American people.” She denies any accountability for her crimes because she is protected by the corrupted media and, to do so would ensure her a bed in a prison cell. Why is she even here now? One can only hope!

This moral malaise of political corruption has also infected our judicial system, one of appointing cronies as jurists who adjudicate according to the political philosophy of the individual(s) who appointed them. Appointed Jurists bask in their sinecures for life; elected Jurists do not. The justice system, once considered trustworthy, is now often proven to be a flawed system where corruption becomes apparent and citizens are exposed to the whims of local despots, federal, state and local, who operate as rouges under the color of their authority. We see that it has even extended to the Supreme Court where no accountability is ever expected or required.

Laws are made by politicians often with no reference to the people who will be adversely affected. It has become fashionable for lawyers, presumably knowledgable in the legal systems, to believe, and convince voters to believe, that only a lawyer is really capable of being an elected politician. So, character and common sense are trumped by law degrees.

If lawyers in the judicial systems were actually salaried employees of government, then perhaps incentives to game the system for profit would disappear. A lawyer would be told, “you prosecute this case” and “defend that one.” I realized this idea stands counter to my firm belief in the free-enterprise system but, corruption and injustice calls for sterner measures. I also realize a salaried lawyer, without fear of losing his/her position, can also become a lazy lawyer allowing injustice to prevail often without accountability. The whole system really needs some serious cleaning but, unhappily, there are enough folks involved in the system who are dishonest and corrupt as to consider changes to the system as unnecessary.

Overall, the government and Judicial systems are flawed and to believe that any corrections will come from within is naïve. This applies to the politicians who rely on Wall Street companies with huge lobbing firms working for more schemes to rip off the tax payers, not reduce them.

That’s probably why America is nearly $20 Trillion in debt. Corruption, in the hands of dishonest corrupted, immoral people, is devastating to our society and gives Obama and Hillary the very reason to continue their attack on our once great nation. When do we demand an accountability? The political sands are shifting. I think we’ll see it, but it could be awful.

A Paradox: Trump or Cruz?

Opinion
City of Hiawassee

Opinion by George McClellan:

I frequently rail against the GOP “elites” for their betrayed of America. Nothing has occurred yet to cause me to alter my opinion. Too, I no longer blindly donate funds to the RNC. I do donate to the Georgia Republican party but the majority of my funding goes to the candidate(s) of my choice until such time as I determine they too have betrayed the base (and me).

Because the GOP has been brained washed into believing that if they don’t remain “moderate” and cooperate with democrats they will forever abide in perdition, struggling for recognition in a long and futile exercise rarely interrupted by electoral promotion. 2012 and 2014 put the lie to that assessment, yet under the leadership of weaklings like Mitch McConnell (and formerly, John Boehner), the GOP still recoils in fear of offending, being accused of racism, islamiphobia and recklessly shutting down the government. Oh, the humanity!

Obama’s continued presence as President remains as much an abomination on the body politic as it is a puzzle to the GOP’s base. The Tea parties formed up because of the GOP’s inaction in the face of evil with the dashed hopes that loud admonitions from outraged voters would encourage a change in the “elites” habits. No such luck. The base was ignore indeed, chastised as fools, hicks and knaves and otherwise ignored, all the time allowing the creature in the White House free reign to do his promised damage to America.

No one stood up to Obama except Ted Cruz who decided enough was enough and threw his hat in the ring as a Presidential candidate promising the complete reversal of Obama’s destructive schemes. And, he called McConnell a liar, which claim has not been refuted nor disproved. The Elite GOP establishment, realizing the potential danger, recoiled in horror when Cruz held a mirror up for them to see themselves and, prove by his actions, that he listened to the base, heard they entities and was ready to make those necessary changes. Even living in perdition, a comfortable existence can be had so long as one is warm, dry and the dinner bowl is kept full, But, with Cruz they are in dire danger of losing all that. Losing candidates can go back to their imaginations, but the campaigners must continue to campaign, or they die.

Then, enters Donald Trump. He too had had enough and, not beholding to any monied group, Trump, telling it like it is, speaks in tones that the base understands and has become the anti-Obama hero. Now we will have, if not an actual blood letting, a contest for the leadership that will forever change the way election campaigns are conducted. No longer will the elites or the media, including Fox News, presume to select our conservative presidential candidate for us.

Trump does not need Fox News. They need him. Look at the panic in the Fox ranks after Trump said he wouldn’t participate in Thursdays debate. He doesn’t need to. Immediately, I suspect the advertisement fees for the debate will plummet; not good for business. Trump does not need to debate Cruz, mano y mano. Read Trumps book, The Art of the Deal and all becomes clear.

We now have a three way fight! Trump vs Cruz vs the GOP ‘elites.’ The ‘elites’ are without principles. They have no honor; they have no integrity. It’s easy to fight weaklings when they lack the necessary scruples that should keep them the conservative foil to the marxist led Democrat Party, but they can’t. That day is gone. Trump and Cruz have given voice to the GOP base here in “Ignored-land.” I suspect Trump and Cruz can make up but not with McConnell, (et. al) and the rest of the career types that see their sinecures in peril.

Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (28 Jan 2016)
