Well I'm back in the US - all exhausted and jet-lagged and with my sausage contraband unconfiscated. Sometime the system fails us.
This is a classic short story that I had forgotten all about until logprof mentioned it a week or two back.
I got another barber that comes over from Carterville and helps me out Saturdays, but the rest of the time I can get along all right alone. You can see for yourself that this ain't no New York: City and besides that, the most of the boys works all day and don't have no leisure to drop in here and get themselves prettied up.You're a newcomer, ain't you? I thought I hadn't seen you round before. I hope you like it good enough to stay. As I say, we ain't no New York City or Chicago, but we have pretty good times. Not as good, though, since Jim Kendall got killed. When he was alive, him and Hod Meyers used to keep this town in an uproar. I bet they was more laughin' done here than any town its size in America.
...
It's only a few pages long - so just go read the whole thing here.
By the end you should have caught on to the sub-text. If not, read it again or cheat and go here for a quick analysis.
What does it say about human nature and how does this apply to our modern politics? Discuss.
After he was defeated for reelection in 1989, New York Mayor Ed Koch was asked if he would ever run for office again. "No," Koch replied. "The people have spoken - and they must be punished." Indeed.
I hate to pile on but this just seems inept and thoughtless.
From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself.
Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.
It's a shame the Romney campaign didn't reflect the skills and virtues of Romney the man.
Once worth over $100 million after selling his anti-virus software company while in his 30s, he's now worth far, far less, wanted for murder in Belize and on the run. How did this all happen? Well read this article and then the one above and you'll start to see. I consider his story a cautionary tale about becoming super-rich without a driving purpose in life.
30 Years Ago: A Look Back at 1982
Time Bandits, Delorean, Ed Asner, and the Johnny Wadd.
For once a video showing how a food is made that isn't entirely disgusting. Mostly because people's expectations for hot dog are set so low. Me - I'm getting hankerin' for some dogs.
Heh: Taylor Lautner says werewolf-on-infant love is a "touchy subject"
And John Cusack is making a Rush Limbaugh biography. What could possibly go wrong?

"16 Texas has surpassed the number of signatures needed to petition the WH for permission to leave the Union. Thoughts? "
I am having fun with the fact that the WH will have to waste their time looking into this. Texas will never secede, but we can have fun dreaming of Constitutional Republic since we don't live in one anymore.

So if Texas secedes legally, then what?
Technically, the rest of America gets a lot more Lefty Democrat.
Does Governor Perry still make it fun and easy for illegals to get into Texas and "Dream" about the future?
Just wondering. Because if he doesn't, it will only be a generation until Texas is no different than the rest of the US. Except more Texany, or something like that.

Here is all you need to know about how doing another round of amnesty will go.
Many of you are probably unaware, but the GOP used to own California.
Richard Nixon, yes that Richard Nixon, was a congressman and Senator
and Reagan was Governor from '67 to '75.
Do you think men such as these will ever be elected in California ever again.
Surely not!
A Brief History of the Presidential Voting History for California with a little background
1965 - Immigration and Nationality Act Passes
Ted Kennedy: "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million
immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration
remains substantially the same... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country
will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not
inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most
populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia....
"In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed
measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think."
THIS AS WE KNOW WAS A LIE
1968 - GOP
1972 - GOP.
1976 - GOP.
1980 - GOP.
1984 - GOP.
1986 - Simpson/Mazzoli Amnesty Act Passes. Largest general amnesty for illegal immigrants due to our cities being flooded by the '65 act.
1988 - GOP.
1992 - DEM.
1996 - DEM.
1996 - Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility act - Smoke and mirrors that was neither reform nor responsible.
It's main function was to water down sponsership requirements putting chain migration on steroids.
2000 - DEM.
2004 - DEM.
2008 - The political class tries to do another round of amnesty but is rebuffed by public outcry
2008 - DEM.
2012 - DEM.
California is now entirely Democrat and will never vote for another GOP President again
because of massive unchecked illegal immigration to that state.
Here is an article from the PEW center on hispanic voting patterns.
http://tinyurl.com/6uuc4
No Democrat has received less than 56% of the hispanic vote.
Two years after signing the largest general amnesty for Hispanics, the GOP nominee garnered 30% of the hispanic vote.
John "Mr Amnesty" McCain received 31% of the hispanic vote.
George W. Bush did the best with 40% of the hispanic vote.
On average Democrats get 65% of the hispanic vote.
The GOP will be committing suicide if it does another round of amnesty
This is the fate that awaits the country if we are stupid enough to
commit suicide but seeing as we have idiots in leadership positions and
within the ranks of the Conservative "intelligentsia" this seems the
likely outcome.

Political Hat @ 63.
But what about LGBT and all that?
Seriously, what you need to take away from that is that the meeting was in Connecticut in 1960, when Connecticut was a pretty Republican state. And how long ago was it since Connecticut has voted for a Republican as President?
How about the Ripon Society, founded in Wisconsisn?
I mean really, face it, we've lost the KulturKampf (culture war), and we aren't going to get a rematch. No two falls out of three.

You are very depressed, I get it. What the DoD is probably going to do to your wife's career, your life, you feel really low.
We all have dark days, and dark times. I have walked in some pretty dark days myself.
I grew up in Dayton, and it breaks my heart to go back there and see how it has become a "little Detroit". It's really bad. But everything in its season.
There will be a time for renewal. I know it. God has not forgotten or forsaken you, keep the faith.

Michigan is not a total wasteland of humanity. I've been there many times.
Detroit is an unbelievable disaster area. It beggars the imagination how bad it has become. Coleman Young got his wish. May he roast in Hell for all eternity.
But Western Michigan is full of tough, hard conservative folks who aren't going to run away. It's a beautiful place in summer, with hundreds of small lakes, the western shore of Lake Michigan.

(It had the right to secede, too; but it exercised that right already - and then it idiotically joined the Confederacy a month after that. It wasted so much money, time and troops that it fell apart and surrendered, Germany WW1 style, even though no Union troops were on its soil. So, that secession ship hath sailed. If Texas had done a Kentucky and stayed neutral in the war, it'd be independent to this day.)
(But I digress.)
Everyone needs to read Ramsdell's history of Texas after Reconstruction; it is an older book and so free on several archives. That digression just posted mostly derives from that.
In addition, it deals with the wrangling under which many Texans pondered exactly that - splitting up the state, and making new states, with El Paso going to New Mexico Territory.

Newt jumping to the head of the collaborators line:
Newt Gingrich is joining the cadre of Republicans calling for the Republican Party to more actively reach out to a more diverse electorate, arguing on Monday that the party needs to become more "inclusive."
"I think we need to be inclusive, and I emphasize the difference between inclusive and outreach," Gingrich said Monday morning in an appearance on ABC's "The View." "Outreach is when five white guys have a meeting and call you. Inclusive is when you're in the meeting. And I think we have to understand to be inclusive."
Also:
Former House Speaker and onetime presidential candidate Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Monday said that if President Obama was “sincere” about forging a plan to avoid the looming “fiscal cliff” and cut the deficit, Republicans would have no option but to work with him.
“The president faces the biggest choice since January 2009: Does he sit down in a room and honestly, openly negotiate with Speaker [John] Boehner [R-Ohio] and [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-Ky.], or does he come in, give a set of demands and go hold a press conference?” said Gingrich on NBC’s “Today.”
“If the president’s willing to do it, the Republicans have no choice,” he added. “You can’t turn down a president who’s just won reelection if he’s sincere.”
Vidkun Gingrich...

They've already decimated the economy with government intervention. It isn't going to recover. It's going to get worse and worse. And if they somehow manage to win in 2014 what are they going to do? Rejuvenate the economy? They are economic poison.
All they have done is hasten then end of their beloved State. They will drive down economic activity and continue to spend like drunken sailors until the checks finally bounce. Much of the world has already stopped buying our bonds. It's not that far off.
And we need the State to collapse. Freedom is not compatible with a monster progressive state. It doesn't mean the country will collapse. It does mean we need to work on what comes after, but we do need something to do. Don't we?

But, but, but .....Newt was a REAL conservative! He led the 1994 "revolution".
See here, Newt was always in love with his own voice, and still is. What Newt loves most is Newt and the sound of his own voice.
Interesting guy with lots of ideas, but about 50% of them are total bullshit. He needs a full time press secretary that can control the stupid things that he says that negate the interesting things that he says.
Dick Gephart actually said something that I thought was actually pretty fair and generous about Newt when Newt was Speaker of the House. When asked what happened to Newt as Speaker (especially his fall) , I was expecting something kinda nasty and invective. Instead, Dick said,"Newt thought he was Prime Minister, when he was only Speaker of the House."
He is in the stupid "let's rethink everything!" mode. He really thinks he is Churchill and going to be called back to "save us".
Expect lots more of this kind of bullshit for at least 3 or 4 more months, from all kinds of people that are "trying to help us."

BHUT, ideas DO matter to the Left. For 100 years they've never stopped debating and refining their ideas. However, the entire purpose of all the ideas they've refined has little to do with building or even maintaining a healthy system. To the contrary! The great preoccupation of the Left, the one subject they've spilt more ink on than anything else is this: "How do we take this sucker down?" Remember, these guys started with Marxism, class warfare, and material dialectics. Here's their plan, literally: 1) Replace the system; 2) ???; 3) Profit!

Just a question for academic discussion.
At what point would secession become justified? How far from the original intent of the Constitution would the country have to drift before such a thing could be an acceptable consideration?
I guess what I'm getting at here is there has to be a breaking point when it comes to centralized government and disregard for the Tenth Amendment. I'm not necessarily suggesting it's been reached. What I'm asking is....is there a point where it CAN be reached?

Modern high IQ societies present but one approach. If you want to use natural selection as a tool to evaluate that approach, beware. An argument could be made that high IQ societies are inherently unstable. Classical Greece thrived for only about 50 years. Rome's Golden Age came and went, literallly, in the space of a generation. (Arguably, perhaps a little more. But that's it. A little more). And today, the highest IQ societies are the ones trapped in demographic decimation. A strong argument can be made that we in the west stand at the brink of another, looming Dark Age, scheduled to arrive in the next 50-100 years. Meanwhile those damn Trobianders will still keep on keepin' on. They had their own less dramatic but equally viable survival strategy. And natural selection does not give a whit about all the drama, right?

So if it reached a point where a majority of Texans decided they no longer wished to participate in a mockery of the Constitution, then would secession be an acceptable option?
I should mention also that Vermont has had a secession movement within its ranks for years now, but somehow liberals refrain from calling those people crazy.

Holy crap, if this stuff is true then this whole story makes sense. The BO admin has been supplying weapons to rebels all across the 'arab spring', and BO wanted those weapons back before they could be used to do anything politically damaging in the election year, so the CIA and Stevens (who facilitated the supplying of said weapons) were sent to Benghazi where rebels were being held and interrogated (tortured), and they were there the same time the terrorist rebels launched an attack on the compound killing Stevens and the CIA agents (former Navy SEALs). Now Petreus was blackmailed about his affair and will be the fall guy for the whole Benghazi affair, to cover up the fact that O was supplying weapons to dangerous terrorists and that rebels were being held and tortured in the Benghazi compound on his watch.

There may well be succession if the DC goes tits up, but that would be a formal matter to protect the state's residents from liability for federal debts. And at that point DC would be in no position to enforce the union.
But a classical succession movement is extremely unlikely.

Oh yes! My intention was not to make light of that in any way. To the contrary, I find it disturbing that the head of the CIA didn't spot what amounts to a stalker from a mile away. He has lied and cheated and humiliated his family. He made himself vulnerable to blackmail or to undue influence.
Yet....
If he were playing ball, they would never force him out and if he didn't resign, it might have appeared cheap to appear on the stand as the sitting head and tell it all.
Until he testifies and proves me wrong, I'm still not willing to give up completely.

The demographic trends were artificially created and are artificially maintained. They can be reversed.
The alternative is to accept permanent mass immigration into White countries and forced integration and assimilation, with the result that all the Black countries will stay Black, all the Asian countries will stay Asia, and so on, but all the White countries will be gone. So will all the White people.
That means the end of all the values and institutions beloved by White people. Don't kid yourself that you can kill all the silkworms and still get silk.
There is no reward for giving up. The only future that offers hope is one where we reverse the demographic trends.

Nowadays, race-based politics is just bringing a gun to a gunfight. Race is what the Democratic Party is all about. Race is why they are winning. They're importing a new nation on the assumption that it will vote the way the want, and they are right.
The Republican Party gets 90% of its votes from Whites, and Mitt Romney won both sexes and every age group among Whites, but he lost because non-Whites vote 80% Democrat, and the Democrats take care to import millions of them while promoting anti-family values that drive down the fertility of Whites.
That is what the fight is about. If you don't address that, you're just kidding yourself. And you will lose.
And the Republican Party is indeed losing, specifically by not living up to its responsibility to give political protection to its mass base. The party acts like a general who thinks he can afford to let his soldiers all be killed and he will win anyway through his abstract principles and genius. It's not working.

---which is why i used the term "I THINK" before my little theory....idiot.
man's migration patterns are also just a little scientific theory in case you slept that little lesson away....in 4th grade...
************
No, man's historical migration patterns are a matter of fact, not "theory".
It's your unsupported assertion that nomadic life somehow led to more human intelligence that is dumb.
If nomads are so shit smaht, then why is the invention of agriculture considered a key event in the rise of civilization? Nomads don't tend crops, create cities, develop centralized defense, build public works, and the like. They just wander back and forth, tending their flocks.
Face it: you're just making things up. Your theory is not just "little", it is infinitesmal.
Just to add local color, I was stoned by Baluchis in Afghanistan a long time ago. They didn't impress me as so shit intelligent, just the opposite ---they were dumbasses.
After all, here we are living in the modern world, and they're still living in tents, tending sheep and wandering between Afghanistan's mountains and Baluchistan.
As someone said, "there's a big difference between putting a man on the moon and putting a bone in your nose".
Derrrr....

Maybe.
But the reality of race-based politics will still be there. This is how it works in the sort of state the Democrats have built and are still building.
Failing to address this is like bringing a slingshot to a gunfight, politically. You lose.

Yeah, historically monarchs are elected in republics.
That's the way it's always been.
Monarch = Republic

I think, generally, men go for the cold vengeance and women got for the heat of the moment. Which, btw, made the case of the diaper-wearing astronaut so compelling.
It was a very elaborate and time-consuming plan although, for a woman of her intelligence, not particularly brilliant.

what was your linen decision '12?
Posted by: Kalneva at November 12, 2012 10:59 PM (cQmXn)
Howdy, Kalneva! After going back and forth with what was available in store at Bed, Bath & Beyond I eventually settled on the teal. Gray wasn't me, purple and red insisted on themselves, chocolate and tan remind me of work, and white...well, I had to debate it but eventually teal won out. Something about it just seemed more inviting.
Now as for the comforter I've decided any cheap piece of shite will do. I'll hardly use it save for a total of a month out of the year and nothing at BB&B looked good or if it did was too expensive whereas Target has some better ones and will be selling 'em cheap on Black Friday. Give Kohl's a look-see, too.

You can get too caught up in IQ issues even if it's all true. You could say lower IQ non-racial groups need free stuff at Whitey's expense more because they are less able to earn good money themselves, or you could say higher IQ non-White groups see the advantages of free stuff at Whitey's expense more clearly.
You can argue about all the different national cultures that go into the "Hispanic" category, and all the different national cultures that go into the "Asian" category.
And when you are done arguing, the election returns will come in and show that, Hispanic or Asian, low IQ or high IQ, this culture or that culture, "let's take Whitey's stuff and give it to ourselves" commands big majorities of non-Whites.
