THE NEW ENLIGHTENMENT

The Civil War

We tend to focus on this ill-named "War on Terror," which ought to be called "War on Islam."  Meanwhile, we are facing every bit as much danger from civil warriors as from jihadi warriors.

The civil warriors share the desire to destroy what is left of the American Republic and convert it to the American Collective, without the Islam.  Make no mistake, they are fully as committed as the jihadis and fully as at war.  While so much attention goes to Iran, etc., we must not walk around with our fly open, disregarding the dangers at home.

To that end, let us resurrect the profound evil of "eminent domain" and that enemy of all Americans' Constitution, the Supreme Court of the United States.  Here is a refresher:

A President Should Not ...

It would be easy to say that America must never elect another religious president.  That statement should be refined first to say that if we have to have a religious president, let's go back to the completely hypocritical type for this single qualification.  This is not enough as a single criterion on which to base presidential selection.

Why bring this up?  It is because of George W. Bush.  He is a "true believer" type of Christian.  He actually believes this stuff and tries to act it.  Because of it, he has become a colossal failure and may jeopardize the survival of America.

"True believers" are those who absorb an ideology (as contrasted with a full philosophy) and try to make the limited ideology fit every situation.  "Ideology, c'est moi."  Bush's mind runs on 100% Christianity, tending strongly to the fundamentalist type a la the "born agains."  What he calls Christian ethics runs his life, and it is running the country--into failure.

Clinton was a thoroughgoing pragmatist who wore his Christianity on occasions like selecting hats for differing occasions.  He carried the white bible and switched on the piety when he thought he could use it to manipulate others.  Other than lip-service, Clinton is about as Christian as an iceberg.  Yet he bought into a Bush-like mindset coming from the same source as Bush.

The notion of prayer breakfasts, bible classes, group hug prayers, and praying in the Oval Office bother severely.  These mean that the president has taken his essential philosophy of life from the ideology of religion.

Well, it is fair to ask:  What is wrong with that?

Can You Point Us to Information?

We are trying to answer the questions, what is required for the USA to withdraw from the United Nations, and what is required to evict the United Nations from its building and the USA?  If you know of any sites or documents, please tell us.  We suspect that someone, somewhere has already done the research, and we would love to rediscover it.

The Cynthia McKinneys

This morning, the news featured Cynthia McKinney bellyaching about her primary loss in Georgia yesterday.  To hear her, it was the fault of the press, the fault of the voting machines, etc.  Then it hit me.

There are a lot of Cynthia McKinney types in Congress:  Maxine Waters, Sheilla Jackson Lee, Stephanie Tubbs, Corrine Brown, and many more.  Yes, they are all blacks and all women.  Throw in John Conyers and all of the Congressional Black Caucus, along with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan, and you can get rid of the gender distinction.  That leaves them having the common denominator physically of being Negro, but being Negro is not important to this discussion.  It has an importance, but it is much more along the line of how hard these loudmouth, hostile blacks make it for all the really good blacks, which is most of them.

No, the point here is that this set of hostile blacks act and sound just like Muslims, yet are not, with the possible exception of Calypso Louie.

Now that the Muslims are doing such a splendid job in teaching Americans to see them for what they are and act accordingly, perhaps the Cynthia McKinneys will soon wear out their welcomes.

This May Not Be Cool, but

we've got to say it, anyhow, cool or not.  This is summer time, and we are busier than we have ever been.  That means our blogging takes second fiddle to other stuff.  Of course, what is not cool is to say that for a new blog.  Well, it is the truth.  We will blog now and then for August and September, but we have to get those 16 tons a day out right now.  When that rainy season returns, we will have no choice:  blog or else.
