New Birthers

New Birthers

In an apparent effort to redeem itself. in the 8/13/19 issue the Wall Street Journal published a Barton Swain article called The New Birthers of which I will publish a few paragraphs.  After decades of ridiculous accusation of Nazism, Hitlerism and Fascism the Left has now in addition to racism begun overusing terms such as White Supremacist.  Swaim compares White Supremacism to the Conservative Birther controversy.  While not exactly comparable there may be some relationship.  After all Obama was born in Kenya, Africa while Trump is not a White Supremacist; in fact he seems to be openly favoring POC much more than Obama ever thought of doing.  Obama was much more sneaky about it.  Here is Swaims argument in his own words:

One of the great annoyances of the 2000s was how Democratic office-holders and media personalities constantly obliged conservatives to defend George W. Bush when we weren’t inclined to.  It felt churlish to criticize a man for signing a terrible budget deal when his enemies were accusing him of invading a foreign country to line the pockets of his friends in the oil industry.

Here we are again, only it’s much worse this time.  You want to fulminate against Donald trump for his cruel tweets and childish behavior or his madcap non-policies on trade and North Korea.  But then the president’s meanest adversaries on the left will level a charge so dishonorable, so wantonly unfair, that you feel almost bound to defend him.

The most common of these charges is that Mr. Trump is a racist.  And lately, the charge having failed to stick the way his despisers thought it would, the charge has been intensified to ‘white supremacist.’

The idea of describing Mr. Trump with any word ending in “ist” has always struck me as risible.  The suffix connotes the conscious holding of a principle or doctrine, whether good or evil—socialist, Dadaist, impressionist, Platonist, meliorist.  But Mr. Trump doesn’t do principles and doctrines.  The only “ist” word that can tenably describe him is “nationalist”, and that fits loosely and only sometimes.  A racist or a white supremacist must at some level consciously hold definably racist or white supremacist beliefs: otherwise the terms are useless.  Mr. Trump may have a neurosis that makes it impossible for him to abide by social conventions, but that does not make him a racist.  His attention span is too short, his eye too firmly fixed on momentary advantage to adopt a creed more complex than “Make America Great Again.”

Yet Mr. Trump’s fiercest adversaries couldn’t be more certain that he is a racist.  They parse his tweets and his spoken words and quote them to each other in versions deliberately stripped of context.  They speak of “dog whistles” and “code language,” as if he were capable of verbal subtlety.  They accuse him of saying what he hasn’t said:  I wonder how many commentators on CNN and MSNBC have stated, as if reporting fact, that Mr. Trump thinks Mexicans are rapists and neo-Nazis “good people”?  If he were an actual racist or white supremacist, Mr. Trump’s verbal incontinence would have made this fully apparent by now.  There would be no need to debate the question.

While not exactly complimentary to the President the essay does show up the ridiculousness of Liberal discourse.  The simply do not listen to themselves or they wouldn’t emote such twaddle.  However, defensiveness is not going to deliver the election.  Only attack after attack displaying the ineptness of the Democrats and whoever their candidate may be is the only method.  Don’t pull punches. The Right must totally disregard these puerile accusations, and attack, undermine, destroy each and every Liberal offensive.

The Left is firmly entrenched in the States they won last election and they are making gains in key States such as Texas and Florida that were tenuous back in ’16.  So-called independents much be convinced that their future lies with Trump.  If these can be won there may be chance for Trump to win.  Quality Republican Congressional candidates have to be found.  That is essential.  Most essential is to realize that this is trench warfare and not some Super Bowl Game.  And that goes for China too.  Xi is probably holding out hoping to ‘influence an American election’ and it may work.  Losing will be catastrophic.  Buckle down, this is serious.

Election Strategies

Election Strategies

It is time to develop election strategies here on the grass roots level.  There is no reason to leave matters up to the RNC which has proven itself singularly incapable.  Obviously the key issue is immigration.  The key point there is that we have more ‘new citizens’ than we can assimilate.  The ‘new people’ have been elected.  All our resources both human and material are fully stressed.  Stressed to the breaking point.

While the Wall is important and should still be pressed it is also useful to present other talking points.  One might be the example of a balloon that can only hold so much air before it bursts.  We being at the point where one more puff of immigrants will burst the balloon.

Another might be that of a cake that when baked to perfection must be removed from the oven lest it burn and shrivel.  The lesson being that immigration has reached that level where more baking will be destructive.

And then there’s that good one- think of the children and their future.  What sort of conditions are we creating for them?

Any such point can be introduced without jeopardizing your job or standing- or worse.  One says merely that while one has no quarrel with immigration per se, one is worried because….  That will keep you on the safe side.

Doubt must be sown among the least dogmatic of the Libs.

Write your Congressman, local TV newscasters or even national newscasters.  Submit them to a barrage.  Make your opinion known; use different names and addresses.  Maybe the ‘Russians’ will pitch in and help.  Who knows?

Now is the time to act.

A November 2018 Election Prediction

A November 2018 Election Prediction

Disregard the strange format, computer acting up. 

I find the Arizona special congressional election interesting.  On its basis I am ready to make my prediction for the November elections.

The Liberal narrative is that Pres. Trump carried such Congressional districts by 20% and since the congressional candidates, who bear little relationship to the Pres. don’t carry the Pres. supposed vast margins that means  the House and Senate will go Democratic  in November.  I don’t believe any such thing is indicated.

The Arizona district is adjacent to Phoenix and swings away from the city center.  With that in mind the further from the center precincts of the district the larger the Republican margins are. Thus in those further out the Republican candidate did carry those precincts by 20% or more.  Thus 65-35 Republican in some precincts.

The margin narrowed the closer the precincts got to Phoenix; the inner precincts went Democratic but by much smaller margins giving the district vote to the Republicans.  It seems a safe conjecture then that the core Phoenix districts would go Democratic.  However, the number of votes cast in any congressional district has no bearing outside the district.  If a district went 100% either way it would not affect the other districts.  So, if we refer to the Presidential map which is totally red except for a few blue big city islands the composition of Congress will depend on how many congressmen represent those city districts and how many represent the larger red areas.  I am of the opinion that the red areas will return Republicans while only the blue cities will return Democrats.  The composition of congress will depend on how many congressmen represent those cities and how many represent the larger red area.

On that basis I am predicting that the composition of Congress will be either unchanged or will swing +10% Republican to possibly a 5% gain for the Democrats.

It doesn’t matter how large the majorities are because whether a fraction or a landslide the winner is still the winner and heads for Washington.

Trump effect or no Trump effect a Republican win, as in Arizona is a Republican win.  Much will depend on how the Pres.’ policies work.  The Korean success, which has boggled the Democratic mind, should weigh heavily in the voters’ mind and any improvement in the economy is also going to strengthen the Republicans which may create a Trump effect and gain more districts.  If the Pres. remains successful Republican  gains may be 10%+.  That means, or should mean, that Pres. Trump can run the board any way he likes thus ending the CFR/Democratic hegemony.

Work to make sure every Republican votes while encouraging Democrats to vote Republican too.  Certain votes, immigrants, Blacks and Jews are completely out of reach as they block vote Democratic, don’t waste time trying to convert them.
