Forget that Obama is willing to risk the destruction of this nation over ego: what about the fucking American people who are so dumb, so ignorant, so complacent that their thoughts and time are focused on obviously false charges against Trump,with respect to issues that, in comparison to the prospect of the destruction of this nation, are obviously trivial even if they WERE true?

What about the fucking media, which is so corrupt, so driven by ideology, so separated from common sense and a sense of responsibility to this nation and their children, that they are virtually silent?

Let me put on my Czech intellectual hat again and point to how much intellectual and moral corruption was necessarily implied in 2008 when we elected this man about whom we knew almost nothing, and what little we did know was all bad, indicating anti-American radicalism, Islamist sympathies, intellectual mediocrity, and a foundational disingenousness.

Trump is making it impossible for the media to ignore all this.  Even when they are demonizing him, they have to cover him.  The word is getting out.  I said early on that Trump was a fighter and that that was what we needed.

I think people fail to get that it DOESN’T MATTER who the Republicans nominate.  When she was alive we could have nominated Mother Teresa, and if in the likely event they couldn’t find anything, they would have MANUFACTURED it.  They make shit up, then focus on it.

Again: remember Alberto Gonzalez.   That might make a good rallying cry.  Among wonks, at any rate.  Nobody else would remember because the news media is also the amnesia media.  If they don’t talk it, we fucking forget, because we are fat, dumb and sedated.

Increased the national debt more than all his predecessors combined.

Implemented a healthcare plan he promised would lower costs, provide better care, and increase coverage, and which has instead INCREASED costs 3-fold or more for most Americans, forced cancellation of many policies which people had before this law was passed, and caused failures and consolidations in BOTH the healthcare provision industries and the insurance industries.  This, after only enacting the bill on a hyperpartisan basis, with virtually NO Republican input, and no Republican votes.

Signed a deal with Iran which involved great secrecy, prop airplanes filled with pallets of $100 dollar bills, no Congressional ratification I can recall, and which merely delayed the program, while GUARANTEEING they will develop nukes at some future point.  Oh, and giving them $100 billion plus in frozen funds which were frozen in part because they support terrorism, which they can now use AGAIN to fund terrorism. I honestly think many details of this treaty are unknown to Congress or the American public to THIS DAY.

Used the IRS as a political weapon, and refused to prosecute anyone.

Used the Department of Justice as a political shield to protect both the IRS and Hillary from prosecution.

Politicized the FBI.

Oversaw the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression, with jobs numbers only approaching the average under Bush because millions have left the labor force.

Opened our border up to illegal immigration, and facilitated it by releasing anyone they caught accidentally, including thousands of criminals.

Destabilized the Middle East. Libya is an ISIS and Al Queda haven, Egypt is only not dominated by Islamic Brotherhood–who Hillary and Obama supported–because they were so bad that they were deposed in a coup.

CREATED ISIS, both by arming and training people they KNEW were jihadists, and by failing to renegotiate an agreement to keep an adequate number of Americans in Iraq.  AND by failing to take effective action–such as bomb their oil convoys–once they emerged.

Overseen the least transparent Administration in many years, all while using Executive Orders to engineer changes that could not have been passed into law.  Among many, perhaps the most notable is the war on coal, and coal producing regions and coal producing jobs.

He supported people trying to create a race war.

He was made everything political, and by doing so created perhaps the most vicious and heated political divide this country has seen in a long, long time.

The list could be made longer.  But I can’t think of ONE THING Obama has made better and not worse while in office.  The best that can be said is that it could have been much worse.  He failed to push through plans to disarm Americans, and many of his worst social engineering ideas were blocked by Congress.

Just putting it out there, Left.  It would make your list making of our alleged thought crimes a bit smoother.  Repetition has power, and power, of course, is what you want.  And need.

I support Hillary.

I’m sorry to hear that.  I would love to talk with you about the scandals which disqualify her ethically, the apparently serious health issues which disqualify her physically, and the policy failures which disqualify her professionally.

I support Trump.

FUCK YOU YOU RACIST MOTHERFUCKER.  EITHER CHANGE YOUR MIND OR WE WILL NEVER TALK AGAIN.  I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS, AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE A DECENT HUMAN BEING. NOW YOU DISGUST ME.

I read Obama is considering a cyberattack against Russia, in response to alleged “interference” in our election, which consists entirely in making known the extent of the corruption of, and contempt for the American public of, the Democrat Party. It is not that lies are being told, but highly inconvenient truths.

Putin clearly seems to considering war with us, up to nuclear war. Ponder the priorities of an American President who would risk nuclear war in order to make sure his party wins the election.

The secrets are out, but not all, and supposedly the best are being saved for last, so I don’t this overstating or in any way misstating the case.

Edit: as I think about, even that doesn’t make sense. The hack has slready occurred. The secrets are out. This cyberattack would be solely the result of wounded pride, and petulant striking out of an irritable child. We have no security interest which such an attack would serve. We are governed by fools.

It seems to me the very notion of the importance of emotional depth has been increasingly lost on most of us. What we consider deep is all too often ideological morality plays, with simplistic messages, intended both FOR simpletons, and with the aim of making our dialogue less nuanced, less precise, less probing, and less interesting.

Ponder Jon Stewart for a moment.  He is the model for most millenials.  He is, or was, seemingly all they seek: simple answers for complex problems, and a moral high ground bought through mockery.

I would like to amplify on an earlier comment.  In the same sense that Liberal is related linguistically to Liberty, conservative is related to conservation.  Protection. Preservation.

And what are we preserving?  Some conservatives object to any deviation from the notion that America is a Christian nation.  I am not one of those.

Most of us, now–and the so-called Alt Right would belong in this camp–want to preserve the idealistic notions embodied in our Constitution that we should be free from ruling elites who are accountable to no one, and that all are equal under the rule of law. We should be free to speak and act as we choose, within broad boundaries, and the government has no business interfering with either.

I readily grant that it was an elite who created the Constitution, and who early on were the only ones allowed to vote.  But the system itself is INHERENTLY amenable to peaceful evolution.  An Andrew Jackson, if he had not been the one, would have come along soon enough.

And the question today is where we go from here.  The past is the past.  The Constitution can be amended, and has been.  But that process has been skipped now for 85 years or more.  Many many things have come into being without the consent or vote of the people.

This is the essence of what tyranny looks like.  It was the SPECIFIC outcome the distribution of powers between the Federal government and the States was intended to prevent.

What we seek to conserve, to preserve, is at root the rule of law, which has been perverted increasingly blatantly, increasingly openly, for the lifetime of most of those now living.

You cannot reject the rule of law, and not expect the unscrupulous–like Hillary Clinton–to abuse it.

Donald Trump was married to Ivana in a ceremony conducted by Norman Vincent Peale (who said of Trump, that he was “kindly and courteous in certain business negotiations and has a profound streak of honest humility.”).  


I am going to call this ironic, because of a thesis I am about to advance: the creed of Positive Thinking, which Peale did so much to advance, is almost inherently one which leads to what might be called “emotional exclusionism”.  This exclusionism, or dissociation, is a big part of the psychic split which Trump has done so much to make visible.


We have all met people who were deeply committed to putting the brightest possible light on everything, of always staying upbeat and positive, and of smiling as much and as often as possible.


We have an older gentleman in sales at my company who embodies this now somewhat Old School ethos.  Friendly to a fault, vivacious, always laughing, everyone is terrified to drive with him.  He doesn’t pay attention and he flies into rages at everyone.  You get to the destination, all smiles and positivity again.


It seems to me that in America we have a tendency to confuse pretending with reality; that if we just believe something is so with enough will, it becomes so.  In its most extreme form this manifests as things like The Secret.  There may or may not be something to it, but there is clearly not a core correspondence between what we HOPE will happen, and what actually reliably does happen, unless hard work and a good plan are part of the hoping. 


But this habit accustoms us to confusing surface reality with deep reality.  It makes us more reluctant to go negative places consciously.  It enables an insult driven campaign like Hillary’s to accuse Trump of being insult driven, and not cause any cognitive dissonance.  “They started it” is often a de facto admission of unprocessed feelings of aggression and rage.


And we seem to have internalized a sense that everything has to be OK all the time, and that it is not OK to talk about deep feelings, especially those of anger and rage and fear and disgust. It is OK to EXPRESS them on the political Left, but as feelings one OWNS as one’s own, as not inherently connected to the external world, not so much.


It is unquestionably the case that Trump’s appeal depends on mass anger on the part of the marginalized majority (hey, that’s a good phrase), who can likely be counted on to turn up to vote in droves, but it is equally the case that the HATRED and FEAR of Trump can best be explained as psychological projection.  He has become a lightning rod for all the feelings the “enlightened left”, the culturally sensitive, always willing to take it up the ass for the team Left, cannot express openly within their group, lest they lose their Club Pass.


But self evidently, given my own commitments, I think the feelings of the conservative majority in this country are healthy, and the ugly vitriol being heaped on us by the Left is not.

We can’t talk any more, and that is not the fault of conservatives.  The Left starts off assuming the most ugly things possible about us, doesn’t have any interest in listening, and abuses us as often as possible, both directly, and amongst the cult members, as a unfunny running joke.


“Ha, ha, ha, he thinks we should have BORDERS.  Fucking hilarious. Where do these fools come up with this stuff?”


One hopes that there remain ACTUALLY sensitive souls–and I have met a few, but very few–who are capable of both retaining a core commitment to the broad idea of Progress, but also seeing and claiming a landscape of failures perpetrated in its name.

It is a truism, it is obvious, in inner work that internally directed violence breeds dissociation.  You can yell at yourself “STOP DOING THAT”, and it will work for a minute.  It really will.  I’ve done it.  You have likely done it.

But the cost is internal conflict which breeds anxiety and emotional inefficiency.  If you bully some part of yourself into submission, it doesn’t go away.  You can’t kill off parts of yourself, at least not without an addiction of some sort.  Drug addiction and alcoholism can be used to manage this dissociated part.  In effect, you strike a deal where one part of you remains in charge, provided the other part can get sedated later.  It is upset and angry at the violence, and the booze or drugs calm it down.

But mental HEALTH is a process of integration, of bringing disparate parts which came into existence to manage different–and sometimes opposite–problems into communication with one another, and then eventually, to use my term (I think, although I may have stolen it from Dan Siegel), coalition. The parts work together harmoniously and even pleasurably for what is good for you, genuinely good for you.

Societies are no different.  You can shout down one segment, but they don’t go away.  You have not convinced them. You have on the contrary alienated and angered them.  And they may stay quiet for a long time, but whatever apparent harmony might appear to exist in the relative silence, it is phony.  It is fake. It is an illusion conjured into existence for the gratification of the bullies and accepted by the bullied on the surface.

But the cause of building bridges has not been served.  You have a deep, deep split.

Donald Trump OBVIOUSLY did not create a split in our society.  I have to hang my head sometimes and wonder how people can be so FUCKING STUPID.  It is particularly egregious when you consider that it is the LEFT which is always talking about sensitivity, and caring and compassion and understanding.  It is the LEFT in general where the “mental health professionals” congregate, and where most of the patients originate.

But you see, this split exists within them too.  They don’t own their undirected rage.  As a general rule, they are able to act as if actual conditions in the world FORCE them to be angry all the time; and not realize that their own psychological debilities, their own lack of integration, is what DRIVES them into lunatic politics in the first place.

Democrats are not “Liberals”.  They haven’t been for a very long time.

Here is the thing: genuine Liberals–who are the large sections of Red which constitute well over 90% of the land mass in our country (which is to say “conservatives”, who “conserve” Liberalism, as opposed to supporting Socialist tyranny)–have been getting called names for decades now, but it has been particularly awful and continuous in the Obama years.  Yes, race absolutely has something to do with it: the term RACIST is used every fucking time anyone disagrees with Obama about ANYTHING.  It is not that actual racism is present, but that it is a convenient cudgel with which to batter the offending individual or group.

Over and over and over and over the politics of division by vilification is used against all white Americans, all Christians, all men, all successful businesspeople–even black people and other minorities who don’t conform to racist Left wing stereotypes, even rape victims who don’t conform to their assigned narrative–and this process breeds anger.  It is inevitable.  You insult someone baselessly for a long period of time, what do you THINK is going to happen?

And it is the height of disingenuousness for these fools to act surprised.  Where did THAT come from, I wonder?  Must be racism again.  NO, IT ISN’T FUCKING RACISM: IT IS A PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY REACTIONS TO YOUR CONTINUAL EMOTIONAL WARFARE ON GOOD PEOPLE.

I think we have all encountered the “head only” man or woman, who just doesn’t “get” emotions.  They don’t react like normal people, and thus normal reactions puzzle them.  Emotion is a foreign language to them, one they don’t speak and really have little interest in learning how to speak.

Such people are not emotionless.  What they are is emotionally stupid, which usually means that most of the time they are acting out in anger and with malice while pretending to themselves they are enlightened and good.  It is a lie enabled by their own internal deceit, which is to say their own internal dissociation and lack of integration.

This is the landscape I see.  And onto this you have to layer the greedy and power hungry.  The headless people (who present as head only, but are in reality limbic and brain stem only) answer to them readily.  Say the right sorts of words, and the usual suspects will jump to attention and go into action. You can USE these people to get rich. You can pass laws to protect the rich if you say they are to protect the poor, and that anyone who opposes them is awful.  You can say you want to protect the weak while protecting the powerful.  You can say you support justice while shitting on the actual rule of law.  Everything is possible when people NEED YOU emotionally.

I was pondering again this morning Haidt’s moral foundations and it occurs to me that the only real attachment Leftists have is to Authority.  A genuine sense of Fairness would involve balancing all sides, and they have no interest in that.  They don’t care about the opinions of anyone who disagrees with them.  What they do is pick one side and bully it to victory. I have in mind specifically gay marriage.  There was no national dialogue.  There was one side shrieking and the other side shouting back, or separating from the discussion.  Fairness would be if you force a Christian to bake a gay wedding cake, you force a black baker to bake a KKK cake.

Actually, here are some actual cases: not baking a cop a cake for his retirement.

Not baking a Confederate flag cake, but baking an ISIS cake.

Again, why the fuck is the government in the cake business to begin with?  As I’ve established, Liberty is not an important value to the Left, but Fairness supposedly is.  The essence of Fairness is one standard applied to all.  Why are these blatant contradictions not objectionable to them?  Simple: fairness is not ACTUALLY one of their values.

As far as Care this is easy: do leftist economic policies work to care for the sick and poor and elderly?  No, not really.  What helps is economic growth and well being, and their policies accomplish the opposite.  Poverty has existed in the ghettos for many decades.  If they ACTUALLY cared, they would ask what is not working and fix it.  Instead, they continue to push things that don’t work–like Head Start–and ignore and even ban things which do work, like Charter Schools and educational vouchers.

Look at this: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/220912/de-blasios-war-minority-education-arnold-ahlert

These charter schools DEMONSTRATED that black kids from broken families and bad neighbhorhoods can SUCCEED if given decent educations.

The 6,700 students at her 22 Success Academy Charter Schools scored in the top 1 percent in math and top 7 percent in English on the most recent state test. These are students who come overwhelmingly from poor, minority families, who overcame the achievement gap progressives regularly bemoan.

They succeeded.  So what happened?  The Regressives rolled the negroes back into schools where they can now be expected to return to being at the bottom of the heap in test results, and graduate barely able to read, and completely unable to take on jobs in the technology sector, at least without Affirmative Action.  These assholes create the problem then claim they have the solution.

I could go on, but the point is that CARE is not an actual value of the Left.  They are not primarily trying to help people.  They don’t think about.  You go to any left wing website, especially around election time, and their sole focus is polling data, and how to manipulate people into voting Democrat.  They don’t care about issues and more or less directly ban debate, because they don’t care about RESULTS.

This is an anti-humanistic agenda.  These people are mentally and emotionally ill.  They are sick.  And they breed like fucking rabbits.

There is no right and wrong, and our side is always right.

That is the shortest summary I have come up with. Note it is “and”, not “but”.  Doublethink needs to be in the foundational statement.

And it occurs to me from a nervous system perspective, in order to countenance patent logical contradictions you have to take the front cortex off-line.  You retain the use of language, but an emotional disconnection from semantic content.

Rather, behavior is based upon the limbic system and brain stem exclusively.  In effect, you become an obedient animal willing to do and be whatever is necessary.

That is what we see in Cuba, in North Korea, and in China, among the core ideologues. It is a formal system for dehumanizing people, to putting them in retrograde motion in the direction of reverse evolution or atavism.

A savage is merely an animal in a human’s body.  It is someone incapable of reason and abstract planning, and self evidently tolerance is a principle originating in the social brain, the uniquely human part of our neuroanatomy.  Leftism breeds savagery, formally.
