"The Coin of Empire Is Always Bought Dear"

Posted by Mike on Thursday, February 09, 2012 11:16:22 PM
http://www.wessternerspective.blogspot.com/
During the Irish Tithe War from 1831 to 1836, one British colonial officer grimly observed that it was costing the Crown "a shilling to collect tuppence" in unpaid back tithes.  This was just a decade or so before my paternal ancestors left Eire for America.

Perhaps there is a lesson for us today, both in terms of government overreaching into the religious realm, and in overextending our military resources in foreign interventions.  Something to think about.

Catholic (and Jewish) Women in Denial

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 7:46:19 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The furor over recent government regulations affecting religious institutions must be laid at the door of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sabellius.  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.  It should be obvious by now that Obama gives each of his cabinet level appointees and czars free reign to do whatever they want essentially rubber stamping after careful consideration all of their decisions, then walking them back if they prove to be politically inexpedient.

Are these Washington virulent pro-choice women including Pelosi, Sanchez, DWS and now Sabellius themselves baby killers, not just in the sense of supporting legalized killing but of actually having murdered one or more persons of their own offspring?  Are they themselves condom carrying, pill popping, sexually active fornicators or adulterers?  People who have access to the truth, and choose to ignore the truth, are God haters, whether or not they personally believe in God.  This may also explain the (apparently) unnecessary cosmetic surgery which they undergo from time to time.

The Church simply carries out Christ's work of healing and redemption, offering sound advise on moral questions.  Those who refuse to accept God's grace create their own living hell.

And Then There Were None

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 4:30:37 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Pawlenty, Johnson, Huntsman, Cain, Bachmann, Perry, Gingrich, Paul, Santorum and Romney.  In the original song written in 1868, each of the Native Americans (or Injuns) does something to reduce by one the number remaining.  The Republican nominees represent these Indians.  In the Republican Primary, six of the ten have already basically shot themselves in the foot, each with a different story, leaving four left standing.  How many will be left going into Super Tuesday?  This could become a major SNL routine.

Will the song end in November with  "Barack takes out Mitt and then there were none", or "Mitt becomes Chief and then there were none"?

Elect a Real American for a Change

Posted by Mike on Friday, February 03, 2012 7:07:40 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Obama and Gingrich are both un-American but in different ways and for different reasons.  If to be pro-American means to put American interests first, then we must defeat Gingrich and elect Romney as our next president.

No man can serve two masters.  Gingrich's political future is solely dependent on Sheldon Adelman who is beholden to Israel and therefore unpatriotic.  Gingrich confuses being pro-capitalism with being pro-American.  Gingrich's vision for America subservient to Israel, America rejecting her Christian values and traditions for the hysterical, bland materialism and utopianism of Fox News, is antithetical with the America we grew up with, the real America we know and love.

Stop China Now

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, February 01, 2012 5:25:34 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
According to IQ studies, Iranians are on average even dumber than Iraqis if such a thing is even imaginable.  It is in our national interest to resolve our differences with Iran peacefully.  Whether or not Iran develops nuclear weapons, she acts a buffer and counterbalance to China's imperial aspirations.  Chinese are among the most intelligent people worldwide.  China is officially atheist.  Iran is theocratic.  It was providential that Bush chose to occupy Iraq because weakening Iraq increases Iranian influence.  If our government is so smart, why don't we flip Iran over to our side and against China.

Game On

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 3:52:48 PM
Today it will be all over but the shoutin'... Mitt will win in Florida, winner take all, and go on to defeat Barack Obama in the Fall.

The spirit of secularism is far more dangerous to American interests than Islamization.  Islam is just a religion that grew out of gnosticism.  It is lacking in orthodox truth, which can easily be overcome.  Secularism is a complete rejection of God placing man at the center of the universe.  Women caught up in the spirit of secularism view the presidency as their number one entitlement.  Obama kept the Clintons out.  Romney will keep Sarah Palin out.  Making peace with Iran will provide her the opportunity to become another regional Asian power to check China's imperial designs. America will not be attacked and will survive at least into mid-century.  After that, it will be a whole new ballgame.

Romney's candidacy helps to unite Christians, Mormons, Moslems and Jews in the battle against secularism.  It could not have come at a better time now that the government's attack against religious liberty has reached a tipping point.

Matching IQs

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 3:37:20 PM
My IQ was found from a test taken online to match that of Richard Nixon and German economist Hjalmar Schacht of the Weimar Republic adjusted for his age level after WWII.  The results were well within the range of what would be expected from my composite SAT score in high school.  An earlier test was also done in grade school for myself and my brother but the results were not revealed except for general assurances from my parents.  In college, we opposed the behaviorist approach and attended a presentation by eugenicist William Shockley of Stanford among a group of students verbally challenging his views as racist.  (See video) I also read "The Bell Curve" by Herrnstein and Murray.  Later when studying philosophy in Connecticut, I read "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" by Skinner who inspired Herrnstein, having now a theistic, anti-behaviorist perspective useful in my current line of work providing care.

Steven Jay Gould was right in debunking the IQ myth.  More recent studies demonstrate a correlation between IQ on a broad scale and socioeconomic advancement of nations.  There are also reports that the first intelligence gene has been discovered recently by a British scientist.

Degenerate Man

Posted by Mike on Friday, January 27, 2012 2:20:48 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Mankind is plagued by the effects of Original Sin.  In a true sense, the effects of sins of the fathers are passed down to succeeding generations.

In recent history, arguably if Truman had not dropped the atomic bomb over Japan, we would not be in the fix we are in today over terrorism and WMDs.  We could go on and on with this line of reasoning.

How can man decide whether a particular course of action, whether using atomic weapons against Japan in 1944 or cruise missiles against Iran next year, is a wise or foolish course of action?  This is where moral theology plays a vital role.  We need a president who is grounded in objective reality or truth, not fiction or mythology.

It could be that the NWO, through its media surrogates, is blackmailing our government with the specter of more cities being destroyed as happened in 2001.  That would be the only rational explanation for Gingrich, Santorum and Romney pushing the envelope for war.  Very few things are rational these days.  More likely, they are themselves victims of the effects of the so-called "greatest generation" opening the bottle and being unable to put the genie back inside.

We are now left with a choice between the objective evil of nonstop, aggressive, unjust warfare against nations not hostile to the US, as advocated by media darlings of the Right including Frum, Krauthammer and Krystol, sapping American wealth and power to benefit Israel, or self-destruction from within by ignoring Israel's plight and redistributing wealth to keep the economy going, the course chosen by Obama.  As other empires have declined throughout history, America's democratic light is no exception and is going out with a whimper.

Newt's Marriages in Context

Posted by Mike on Friday, January 27, 2012 1:28:00 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Newt Gingrich's three marriages may be legitimate within the context of Catholic moral theology. His first marriage at age 19 was to his high school geometry teacher, many years his senior. It was apparently the result of immature infatuation although two daughters were born of the marriage. The second marriage occurred when wife number one had terminal cancer and Newt thought that he needed a new wife to be elected president. Again, this was probably not based on a true loving commitment on his part. The third marriage was to a staff member who had been his mistress during his marriage to wife number two who had developed MS. In any case, wife number one had already died. Subsequently, Newt converted to Catholicism, the religion of wife number three.

State of the Union

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 11:51:43 AM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Romney took a beating in South Carolina but is still ahead nationally in the polls.

Gingrich represents the extreme Right of the War Party, pro-Israel and anti-Palestine, putting Israel's national interests before America's interests. If Gingrich wins the nomination, he will be McCain II.

Romney is a wealth elitist whose financial dealings with Bain Capital appeal only to capitalist weaklings, crazy individualists unconcerned with other peoples' welfare. As income inequality rises, Romney and his ilk are becoming more out of touch.

Neither Romney or Gingrich has much of a chance at beating Obama. The Revolution will have to come from within. Obama's State of the Union address was his best speech ever, as echoed by Hillary Clinton. He was positively pro-American, putting America back in her rightful place ahead of Israel and first in the world. Obama now may be the only man alive who can keep America out of a prolonged, dragged out war with Iran beginning with 30 to 60 days of intense carpet bombing of Iran's air defenses.

A victory by Obama would mean a lost opportunity to appoint solid conservatives on the Supreme Court. Continued disrespect for life, chastity and marital fidelity will mean that our government is too far gone to continue in being. At the Capitol gathering, the Three Stooges were back again in center stage. TV cameras in the congressional hall picked up glimpses of the depths to which American democracy has sunk into greed and corruption on the faces, demeanor, and applause of the self-obsessed elitist zombies and their guests attending the ceremony.

America Comes of Age

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 2:26:31 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The new information technology has brought about a new paradigm.  None of the old rules apply.  In a matter of months, several formerly secular Islamic nations have been overthrown through popular uprisings via iPhone, Mac and PC alerts during the so-called Arab Spring.  The same phenomena is now happening in America.

Republicans ambivalent about attending the prom with Mitt may now find themselves going with Newt, a master at working the New Media for his own advantage.  Transitioning from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, there is a potential for real democracy and popular sovereignty to replace the media gurus, intellectuals and politicians, dinosaurs of the old elite, incessantly trying to put something over on the American people with lies and trickery.  The open blogosphere is rapidly replacing government-controlled media outlets.

Under Newt's leadership if he is elected, natural law will replace arbitrary court decisions as the basis for our judicial system.  Local free markets, each with its own currency, will replace global capitalism and the gold standard which are not even mentioned in our founding documents.  The American people will no longer be deceived or intimidated by government bullying and scare tactics leading us into unjust wars.

Quitters Are Losers

Posted by Mike on Monday, January 23, 2012 6:10:48 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot,com/
Sarah Palin is again playing to her feminist base by making crude references to cross-dressing.  Is she worried that Chris Christie will destroy her chances in 2016 or 2020?  She quit and walked away as governor of Alaska.  Christie wisely chose to stick it out in New Jersey rather than waste time running for president.  In America, the job of president is below that of governor because governors make day-to-day decisions directly affecting the people of their states.  Anyone who would quit as governor does not deserve to be president.  Who would you vote for?

Ethnic Politics

Posted by Mike on Sunday, January 22, 2012 1:31:40 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
What would a Gingrich presidency look like?  If nominated, Newt stands a good chance of beating Obama by drawing the blue collar "Reagan Democrats" back to the white man's fold.  He would carry on the noble tradition of German American presidents which now includes Herbert Hoover and Dwight Eisenhower.  This will be a time just after Hoover's WWII classic memoir "Freedom Betrayed" has just been published, chastising FDR and Truman for their mishandling of the war and its aftermath.

Gingrich is a problem solver.  He would restore the economic order by again providing jobs for unemployed young people by with Black and Mexican men working as janitors rather than dealing drugs. Black and Mexican women would be hired as maids, babysitters and caregivers, with no minimum wage and including child labor.  This way, they can learn the value of honest work within the capitalist system.  Women generally would again be expected to raise children in the home rather than getting jobs outside the home. 

The population alarmists beginning with Malthus were wrong.  There is no overpopulation.  All of the world's people could live comfortably within the state of Texas with a house and yard for every family.  Gingrich would do away with reproductive rights by firing recalcitrant jurists, outlawing abortion, and putting restrictions on the sale of contraceptives such as condoms.  This will help to revitalize America by strengthening our White European heritage.  Is this the kind of America we want?

Splitting the Ninth Circuit

Posted by Mike on Friday, January 20, 2012 3:27:31 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals should be divided as follows:

Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana making up the new Ninth Circuit.

California, Nevada, Arizona, and Hawaii, also including jurisdiction over Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, making up the new Eleventh Circuit.

This will keep the formerly Nueva España states of California, Nevada and Arizona in one piece, all deriving from the same Spanish civil law and community property as opposed to English common law, as well as recognizing the geographical proximity and historical and economic connections between California, Hawaii, Guam and the Mariana Islands.
