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.

Israeli Lobby May Cost GOP Election

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 1:06:55 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
All of the remaining Republicans in the presidential race except one are set to go to war against Iran over Israel.  Primary voters are now left with a choice between Romney and Paul, the remaining contenders Gingrich, Santorum and Perry being necessary only to keep Sarah Palin out of the race.  Paul represents the German anti-war tradition in America.  Perry and Santorum may soon drop out leaving a three man race going into Super Tuesday.

As it stands now, Romney is the heir presumptive.  If he wins the Republican nomination, Obama will have a clear advantage because the American people are overwhelmingly in favor of peace and against war after what happened on 9/11.  This is not to say that Obama would not attack Iran if he wins a second term.  His pro-Palestinian outlook however would likely deter him from siding with Israel in the event that hostilities were to break out.

In order to beat Obama, Romney would have to make clear to the American people that he is against going to war with Iran and risking further bloodshed at the expense of benefiting Israel, something which Romney is unlikely to do.

Gingrich's "Mea Culpa" not Convincing

Posted by Mike on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 2:20:13 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Newt Gingrich's explanation of why he took money from Freddie Mac will not help him win the Republican presidential nomination.  Even if J.C. Watts had come out, in response to the Romney Super PAC ads in Iowa, saying that Gingrich's compensation was not a quid pro quo for favors received, everyone knows that the $1.6 million paid to Gingrich's company was a waste of taxpayers' money.  The fact that other congressional and government retirees were doing the same thing taking money from Fannie and Freedie, as pointed out by Ann Coulter, only reinforces the true public perception that this was all part of Washington's culture of corruption, or prostitution, which the Tea Party was set up to overthrow, not reward.  Did Gingrich honestly expect that Freddie would take his not-so-cheap advice to stop making bad loans to sub-prime deadbeats?

Calling to mind Paul Krugman's defense of his high priced consulting fees from Enron, who stated of the advisory panel "had no function that I was aware of" and that his role was "just another brick in the wall".

Putting America's House in Order

Posted by Mike on Sunday, January 15, 2012 2:57:42 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
America is in deep trouble.  Mitt Romney has shown considerable proficiency in firing workers during his tenure at Bain Capital.  What the people want to know is whether he can demonstrate the same skills working with a Republican Congress using a meat ax in slashing government budgets, existing government pensions, and unnecessary government jobs without creating more money?  In this context, Gingrich's advice is well taken.  Any government employee, including court Justices and Judges, who diminish or negate citizens' rights are already violating the law and should be summoned before Congress to explain their actions, and fired if necessary by the chief executive using his inherent constitutional authority.  The states should then follow suit to put their own economic houses in order with each governor acting as sovereign.

Will Romney do what is necessary to default or otherwise welch on the national debt while there is still time?  Will he be willing to drastically downsize government and start from scratch to rebuild America, now that the Fed and Treasury Department have already trashed our credit rating through expansion of the money supply and bank bailouts?  Will he be willing to forego war and let Iran and Israel duke it out between each other?  These are questions that must be answered before electing Romney as our next president.

Gutfield's Conspiracy Theories

Posted by Mike on Saturday, January 14, 2012 8:13:02 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Does Fox's Greg Gutfeld even know what a conspiracy is?

He questions what he calls "conspiracy theories" of "9-11 Truthers", a media designation for anyone including reputable scientists who challenge the official conspiracy put forward by the government and written into the 9-11 Commission Report.  So we are supposed to believe every hoax just because the government says that it is true?  Is Gutfeld a Nazi or what?

A conspiracy is whenever two or more people agree to commit a crime.  The government has told us that Osama bin Laden and a number of Islamic males in the US conspired to hijack airplanes and fly them into buildings including the Pentagon and New York's Twin Towers, and that others including KSM helped plan the attack.  This is the official government conspiracy theory.  Gutfeld is defending this conspiracy theory.  How do we know that Gutfeld is not on the government payroll to propagate this ridiculous conspiracy theory, and to make anyone questioning it look like an idiot, as a way of flaunting the government's arrogance, saying in effect "we are everything and you are nothing", in murdering upwards of 2000 Americans whose lives it is for government to protect, not kill?  That is the same question Gutfeld suggests, turned upside down, with regard to the scientific evidence presented by those questioning the official conspiracy theory.

Merely questioning what happened on 9/11 does not rule out the possibility or likelihood that Muslims did in fact intend to do bad things to Americans at that time.  But is the official conspiracy theory the whole story?  The government conspiracy theory also only raises more questions without providing answers.  Was anyone else involved besides the ignorant Muslim hijackers?  What about the Five Dancing Israelis?  Why were they let go?  Are they now on Fox's "The Five"?

Gutfeld, Beck, O'Reilly and the other 9/11 Truth-Deniers label those who question the official version "Truthers" because they themselves are afraid or incapable of confronting truth.  It's called invincible ignorance, something which they lack the capacity to understand.

Murdoch's WSJ Wrong about Super PAC Ads

Posted by Mike on Saturday, January 14, 2012 4:53:58 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
Capitalist media pundits are now complaining that Gingrich suffered a drop in poll numbers and may have lost Iowa because of pro-Romney TV and radio ads.  So what?  This is a free country.  People can say anything they want.  If the public does not like the ads, they are free to turn them off.  That's capitalism, right?   

The court's ruling in Citizens United v. FEC is on target.  All four of the conservative wing voted along with Justice Kennedy in supporting the decision.  Mainstream media want to be sole deciders of what information is available to the masses.  WSJ and the others present a slanted view of the world.  They have that right under our Constitution.  So do the PACs and Super PACs.  The internet has already put a big dent in their ability to mold public opinion.  Now this.

Ads such as Hillary: the Movie and King of Bain are vitally necessary to encourage public discourse.  How else would the public be informed that a bunch of capitalist losers and hypocrites are running this nation's government, economy and mass media?

Iowa voted by caucus.  Most caucus voters had not made up their minds at the time polls showed that Gingrich was ahead.  Each district allowed presentations by all of the candidates or their representatives.

BCRA's restrictions on direct contributions to individual candidate' campaigns are reasonable in limiting the power of wealthy con artists to buy elections, and should not be repealed ever.  Now that the First Amendment liberty interest has been upheld by the court, we are back on a level playing field, and let the chips fall where they may.

Looking Beyond the Present

Posted by Mike on Friday, January 13, 2012 3:35:41 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The question now becomes, which candidate is least likely to take America into a war against Iran, or engage in other unjust military occupations?

The two most immediate concerns are war which would bankrupt America, and socialism which would destroy human freedom.  What is necessary is acceptance of Gospel values.  The central European countries most successful in withstanding and overturning communism were historically Catholic Austria, Hungary, Chechia, Slovakia and Poland.  Germany was cut in half.  All of these nations now have viable market economies. 

The idea that capitalism will somehow save America is crazy.  Greed and avarice never do any good for anyone.  People act in their own self-interest regardless.  What is good and in agreement with Christ should be kept; the rest discarded.

Caylee's Paternity again Questioned

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 4:44:59 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
The latest news is that Casey Anthony is now claiming that Caylee was conceived through rape.  Geraldo is repeating the mantra that DNA from both her brother Lee and her father George was tested by the FBI, and that both Lee and George were excluded from being Caylee's father.  Geraldo says that the 2008 FBI tests were requested by prosecution counsel.  This agrees with chief prosecutor Mr. Ash's objection at trial wherein he contends that defense questioning and FBI testimony creates an inference that the tests were done as a result of a criminal investigation.

Looking at the actual trial video, the conversation with the judge outside of the presence of the jury, which was recorded on tape, did not exclude the possibility of George being the father.  It is my recollection that Lee's test excluded him as the father, whereas George's test was determined to be inconclusive, and sent to a higher level at the lab according to what the FBI analyst Heather Seubert said to the judge, not being sworn testimony at the trial, and that she was then told by a "higher up" that George was also excluded as the father, again without testifying to this under oath.  Defense counsel Jose Baez, perhaps the most reviled man in America, shrewdly did not ask the analyst about the possibility of George being Caylee's father, knowing that she herself had no firsthand knowledge of the second stage test results or their reliability, and that there was no testimony under oath to exculpate George as Caylee's father.  Check out the video.

If in fact the FBI tests were conducted at the prosecution's request, is it not possible that an agreement was reached that if George were found to be the father, it would not be disclosed and that George would not be prosecuted for incest, because that might blow the prosecution's whole case against Casey, as in fact did actually happen?

It is looking more and more like a Florida frame-up of Casey Anthony.

Bain Capital

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 2:16:46 PM
http://www.westernperspective.blogspot.com/
In politics, a defeat by an incumbent is essentially the same as receiving a pink slip from the American people for whom office holders work.  Mitt Romney's statement that he likes to hand out termination notices is applicable to the upcoming elections.  If we don't like the way office holders are misappropriating our money, we have every right to hand them pink slips at election time.  That is how our system works.
