Protest Political Correctness on July 3, 2013
From the Canadian Free Press comes this interesting idea...
More than any other cultural artifact, the PC movement dictates what can or can’t be said, and what the nature of truth is. How is it possible that a small group of elites, originally hailing from Germany, of Marxist conviction, have been allowed to dictate the outline of polite discourse for the last few decades? In fact, the PC movement is a hoax obscured under a false definition of civility. In fact, PC is the very opposite of civility, being a tyranny against free expression, driven by a Marxist cultural jihad, meant to extinguish the right of conservatives to express their beliefs, or mount principled dissent against leftism.
Pass this around.

SkyNet Speaks!
Michael Silber sends a message to Siri, then sends it to Google Voice, sends it back to Siri, which sends it back to Google Voice. Repeat until GIGO, which, apparently, doesn't take long.

The Bloomberg Opportunity for Conservatives
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, he of the salt and 16 oz soda ban, not to mention the weapon-clip ban, presents a unique opportunity. His needless meddling in the lives of others is an excellent example of what not to do when it comes to the role of government.
It also presents the occasion to form the "Bite Me" Coalition.
Kurt Schlichter over at Townhall.com has this post, courtesy of Instapundit, that goes into more detail. Here's a couple of tidbits...
We have forgotten that those we elect to office work for us. They answer to us, the people who elected them, and no one else.
They're our employees, not our bosses. We tell them what to do, and we're not doing it.
Would you take any guff from an employee who didn't do what you asked, repeatedly? Certainly not. You'd sit them down and tell them what the score was. You'd tell them to straighten up, follow orders and rules or else they'd be looking for a job in the very near future.
Attitude, yeah, I got one. Whaddaboutit?

Hmm, I'm liking what I hear.Who the hell is New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to presume that he has a say in what I or any other American chooses to drink? Of course, the answer for any self-respecting citizen is that he has no such say, and the proper response to him and his legion of petty fascist fan boys is the suggestion that they pucker up – and I will politely decline to identify what they should kiss.
It’s a sad commentary that the once boisterous, independent, take-no-guff New Yorker of the past has been replaced by a gutless, cowardly supplicant eager to obey the commands of whatever pint—sized potentate occupies Gracie Mansion. Back in the day, a real New Yorker would look that tiny troll in the mayor’s office in his beady little eyes and laugh, “Hey Mikey, I got your Big Gulp right here.”The only reason we've lost control of our government is we've seemingly forgotten our roles as American citizens. We've also lost sight of something very important, a big part of what makes us who we are as a nation.
These bossy snobs are getting out of hand, and it’s time to push back – hard. Besides being the American thing to do, resistance to this creeping liberal totalitarianism is a huge opportunity for conservatives.

Know Your Domestic Enemy - Billy Ayers Edition
This is sort of old, it's from Zombie in 2008, but it's still relevant.
As you read it, understand that William Ayers still believes in revolution against America. I'll say what Zombie won't: the people who wrote this are your enemies and are still working to destroy everything you hold dear. They want to control you, your children, and your way of life. They wish to destroy your ability to have a peaceful life.
Failing that, they want you dead.
William Ayers' forgotten Communist Manifesto: Prairie Fire.
Read the whole thing.

Recorded for Posterity
I'm sure all 15 of you have noticed that I haven't posted anything in a while. A combination of illness and a dead hard drive led to part of that. The rest of it is the result of the presidential election. I just cannot yet believe that we've voted for our own destruction at the hands of our domestic enemies.
It's tough to realize that this is no longer the country I grew up in where freedom from government, personal responsibility and initiative were once valued.
There are several reasons for this, but it all boils down to one thing: we were targeted many years ago. The enemy even told us what they wanted to do and how they were going to do it.
We were defeated not militarily, but socially. And we allowed it to happen by not recognizing "the other" in our midst, challenging it, pointing out it's opposition to our traditional values, and eradicating it.
The anti-American Progressive Left won. We will never be the same. The long-held beliefs that characterized this once-great nation have been undermined and ridiculed to the point that anyone who now holds them are called "extremists." This was done through the media, which is now wholly owned by the left wing.
I had hoped that we'd awaken from our slumber.
I was wrong.
So, I'm retiring this blog. It's sort of painful, but at the same time, I am forced by circumstances beyond my control to concentrate on my own survival. As most of you know, I've been out of work for many years (save one short stint). I must now navigate the maze of government assistance in order to eat and try to find health care. I had hoped the economy would pick up after Mitt Romney's election and I could return to work in my chosen field of manufacturing.
Again, I was wrong.
I leave for you this blog, my heart. Everything here was for you in the hopes that you'd appreciate my viewpoint and that you would be inspired to do your own research so you could see things for yourself and find the Truth. That is still my hope.
I enjoyed my time studying politics. I hope you all enjoyed it too.
There is a lot to find in the archives here. After all, I spent the better part of four years here and wrote almost 500 posts. Not much when compared to my contemporaries, but enough to keep me quite busy and engaged. Feel free to poke around, as I don't think much will change in the next four years: our enemies are quite busy completing the task they began. Now they have the reins of power. Perhaps you'll find something you didn't know.
It was fun.
May God in Heaven have mercy upon us all.

Shirley, You Can't Believe the New Unemployment Numbers
The new unemployment number is out. Magically, it happens to be just under the traditional figure at which presidents can't get re-elected of 8%.
It's at 7.8%
How convenient.
We're supposed to believe this when the most recent GDP numbers show an anemic 1.3% increase?
We're supposed to believe this when the U-6 number remained unchanged at 14.7%?
We're supposed to believe this when factory orders just went down 12%?
We're supposed to believe this is the biggest one-month jump in 29 years?
We're supposed to believe this?

Mitt Thumps Obama in First Debate
If you somehow missed it...
Actually, it was much more than a thumping. It was a smackdown of nearly Biblical proportions.
You could say that Obama had a drug problem: Mitt drug him all over the stage. (*rimshot*)
Needless to say, Republicans and conservatives are all atwitter at the masterful performance by Mitt last night. Confident, self-assured, in command of the facts and figures, presidential, these are just some of the adjectives you could use to describe Mitt's evisceration of Obama.
Early viewer estimates have this as one of the most-watched political debates in history. Over 70 million tuned in. Here in Casa Backwardio, there were high-fives and fist-pumps as Mitt landed one body blow after another to the hapless incumbent.
Mitt pressed buttons I didn't know I had.
I'm pretty sure this debate has sealed the victory for Mitt in a month. Now, we can't go getting cocky. There's still a lot of work to do. Not only must we get Mitt in office, we need to get control of the Senate too. Your job is clear: do whatever you can to get out the vote. Talk to your friends, especially if they're of the Dimocrat persuasion. Volunteer locally if you can. Put up a yard sign.
Every little bit helps.
