Pigs, pee, and the "sacred" Koran

February 26, 2012
First, some good news, almost kerygmatic, from WOGsville.
Wild boars –big nasty pigs – are overrunning Islamabad, Pakistan. Who says there is no justice? 100 pound, sharp toothed, fiercely fanged porcine 4 leggers are tearing up the pea patch in Pakistan. Muslim Pakistan. Somewhere Moshe Dayan and Abba Eban are smiling.

Now some bad news.

President Bozo Haitch Obama set a new Guinness record for apologies. The old record was held by the border guard in Bohemia when the Nazis decided to go into Czechoslovakia. For 3 days he said he was sorry that he took so long to get the gate up and waive the tolls on the road to Prague.

He is going to bring George McGovern out of retirement to lead an apology non-crusade. Afghanistan, a nation where men need not remember the admonition “yellow in front, brown in back” when getting dressed because all they ever wear are sheets and curtains, is in an uproar because somebody chucked some books into the garbage dump. Maybe he’ll send his mother-in-law – 3 years under the same roof is enough for any man – as a sacrificial lamb as penance for the harm caused. He might even cast the first stone, metaphorically speaking.

These apologies come from a country whose Supreme Court says it is OK to burn an American flag. This is from a country that uses tax payer dollars to subsidize a play – Corpus Cristi – that says that not only were Jesus and Judas consensual rump wranglers but a lovers’ quarrel caused Judas to do a Gyppo Nolan on him for the dough. This is from a country that uses tax payer dollars to subsidize an art exhibit that has a picture of Mary, AKA, the Mother of God, covered in cow dung. This is from a country that says if you don’t like “Piss Christ” – a photograph of Christ on His Cross – suspended in a vat of urine you are a troglodyte and probably a “bitter clinger”. As far as can be known the pee is not from a pig.

Even if the books were “sacred” – Why is everything inanimate in their heads up their ass world either “sacred” or “holy”? – I have one simple question.

So what?

It’s been about 1000 years since these rotters have done anything good for mankind.

They outlawed whistling. They forbade balloons. Nail polish removal starts with taking the finger nail out with pliers. Their policy towards homosexuals begins with 20 lashes. And if, as modern American Liberals constantly carp, Republicans are anti-woman what in the name of Oprah Winfrey and Martha Steward can you call these bug-eyed apes? If they didn’t have oil they would be like desert Laplanders.

Why the National Organization for Women doesn’t demand oil drilling in the Grand Canyon, on the White House lawn, in Barbra’s backyard, and straight through Lillian Hellman’s grave is beyond me. One possible answer is that the ladies secretly want the security of the burqa and a touch of the lash before the lads go off for a gay night of Boy Dancing.

Here’s my plan to undo the damage done by this buffoonery.

The target date is Saint Patrick’s Day, March 17th. The reason for the date will be revealed presently.

I am going to wrap a Koran and a Bible - both sacred and holy – in American flags. You guessed it. I am going to set them on fire. This will be true performance art. A veritable raree, if you will. I will make stops at all the Irish saloons in town. Mindful of safety I will summon the patrons from inside the pubs should the fire rage out of control.
They will be able to extinguish the fire in an environmentally sensitive manner by peeing on it. People pee. All organic. The ultimate cycle of recycling. I am sponsoring a song contest to mark the event. The words “Allah ain’t so Akbar” must be in a ditty set to the tune of “The Minstrel Boy”.

I have decreed that Bayonne is now a “holy” city. Henceforth, the Speedway Tavern shall be known as “sacred”. You got a problem with that? I’ll fatwa you in the arse so hard you’ll have to take your socks off to take a dump.

RE: “Orwellian mandates” – Some comments on your priceless column in today’s Miami Herald.

Miss Reid,

I probably should preface this with ‘the upturned neck awaits the ax” but I won’t.
Why spoil the fun what with “anticipation being the greater joy”.

While the question of whether or not you are dumber than a box of hammers may yet still be in doubt there is one empirical fact we can all agree to. You seem to be, to cite Curley Biden, the greatest Vice President we have, “a clean, articulate Black person”. If that observation is correct there is a possibility that you can still learn. Given sufficient time and reflection you could learn a lot. Perhaps it is not that you are dumb. It is rather that there is so much that you don’t know.

One of the first steps to wisdom, not knowledge, is to shed the blinders of narcissism. Alas, if the only tool you have is a hammer everything begins to look like a nail.

Since I am “bound and determined” not to be cliché-ridden I marvel at the mantra of “level playing field” monotonously proclaimed by modern American Liberals. My other favorites are “slippery slope” and “chilling effect”.

Exactly which “social promises” did George W. Bush break?

“No Child Left Behind” was co-sponsored by Senator Ted “Tosspot” Kennedy. If you have any contacts in DC could you send someone over to Arlington Cemetery to make sure he is still in his grave.

He so greatly increased funding, forgive me, to “Fight AIDS”, that Bono, leader of the U2 think tank, called him ”the greatest man in the world”.

I know you’re going to say “No way, Jose” but he increased funding for stem cell research by 20 times. Look it up.

He introduced a prescription drug benefit for Medicare patients that Democrats never even dreamed of.

As the Constitution demands, he went to war with the consent and approval of Congress. More than 3/4th of the members voted to do so.

Which promises did he break?

Surely you must know someone in the business section of the Herald. If you think the American people have “earned” a profit on its General Motors involvement you also believe the moon is made of green cheese. Maybe blue cheese. Definitely a fromage that reeks sufficiently to offset the supposedly “non-malodorous fecal matter syndrome” that is a universal affliction of modern American Liberals. The American taxpayer is still in the hole for 33 Billion dollars. That’s $33,000,000,000. Look it up.

Maybe the Chinese can help us out. Even though you told us that when Bush borrowed it was immoral it seems that Lord Barack the Beneficent has borrowed as much in 4 years as Bush did in 8 years. Maybe we can get Ming, the Mandarin Moneylender, to take the GM stock owned by the Treasury in a swap for their markers on us. It would be instructive to see how Chinese labor relations differ from ours.

You say that the creation of GM – Government Motors – helped the company “pay its bills”.

Do you think there might be somewhere in East Jabib, Michigan a single mom, doubtless a woman of color, whose Grammy gave her some GM bonds when she died? Perhaps she would have used the interest to buy her child some Lebron sneakers. Now her child must go through life like some discalced mendicant, shunned and outcast, doomed to be a ward of the state, presuming he survives the mean streets of grammar school, because GM stopped “paying its bills”.

Normally I would consign your article to the round file.

That’s the very large bin where I toss articles that sing the praises of “Midnight Basketball”, that swear that the best way to cut urban teen age unemployment is to raise the minimum wage, that swap recipes for “Rainbow Stew”, that pledge fealty to the thought that if enough people sing, sincerely sing, Kumbaya the problem of getting a new lamb to sleep with Simba every night will be solved.

But what set my “high dudgeon” early warning device a quivering was your casual reference to George Orwell.

#1 – I’ll bet a penny to a dollar that you have never read, in its entirety, anything by Eric Wigan. That was Orwell’s birth name but you knew that, didn’t you?

#2 – What did you think of him when he shot an elephant?

#3 – Was he correct in his assessment of the Spanish Civil War? I won’t mention the name of the book he wrote about it. Look it up. Maybe you could even read it. Maybe.

#4 – Is it true that “while all animals are equal some animals are more equal than others”?

#5 – Whatever happened to “The Last Free Man in Europe”?

“The obvious and true have got to be defended. Truisms are true.
Hold on to that. The solid world exists. Laws do not change.
Stones are hard. Water is wet. Objects unsupported fall
Towards the earth’s center…
If that is granted all else follows.”

You go, girl! You don’t have a minute to lose. There will be a test.

RE: What’s an “average White guy” to do? – Some comments on your op-ed on the evils of “stereotyping”.

Mr. Pitts,

Is another perfectly sound word – “chink” – about to go down the modern American Liberal memory hole?

The subject of your low dudgeon is a New York Knickerbocker, Jeremy Lin. Let it be said that Lin has had a 3 week run etched in brilliance. Sometimes the basket looks as wide as a well. He has the hot hand. I would have him shoot as soon as he gets off the bus. A case could be made for him being a mole planted by the Mandarin money lenders to whom we are in thralldom. As he tours the country he can report back to Ming the merciless about how many “shovel ready” jobs there are. You may recall that Lord Barack the Beneficent borrowed, first billions and then trillions, to finance what is now known as the not quite shovel ready jobs

But back to “stereotyping”.

You say “It is difficult to escape this impression when one hears you using the Ku Klux Klan’s favorite racial epithet.”

The last time I went to an NBA game I thought I had taken the wrong subway. Instead of coming up from the catacombs to Madison Square Garden I thought I had been transported to a Senator Robert Byrd [D-WVA] cross burning KKK recruitment rally. The only word I heard above the cacophony of a Knicks game in the Garden was the dreaded “N” word, the word that “average White guys” dare not use.

Here’s a shocker.

Weren’t no White folk, “average” or otherwise, using it.

I assume that many members of the choir had working knowledge of James Joyce.

The dreaded “N” word was used as a noun, a verb, a gerund, and an exclamation point. The best one was the split infinitive. Maybe we can have a day, a la Bloomsday, during Black History Month to celebrate the advancement of the language. Maybe not.


Speaking of “stereotyping”…

I read this morning of a debate in the non-Caucasian community about the proper name for their group.

I remember when Jesse Jackson proclaimed – the term ex cathedra comes to mind – that the word “Black” was the only acceptable term. That has segued into the more ubiquitous term “African-American”. Now, some of the lanschmen are objecting to one size fits all.

Would you be so kind as to send me a list of “verboten” words, particularly for an “average White guy”?

Would you also tell me if there are words that are universally “stereotypical”, that is to say no one can use them anytime?

How long before an “interloper” could go into the Barnes & Noble in Harlem and ask the clerk for a copy of Dick Gregory’s autobiography by its title? SASE if no one knows its name. Incidentally, it’s a great book.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan

February 19, 2012
Cardinal Timothy Dolan
Saint Patrick’s Cathedral
New York, New York 10022

Eminenza,

Martin Luther.

He should have been, forgive me, the paradigmatic template for mug-wump Catholics.

He was an Augustinian monk who had problems, first with his order, and then with his Church. In the end he left both. In addition to constructing in his mind a new path to God he turned European History upside down. By following his beliefs to their Logical conclusion - he couldn’t stay in a Church whose fundamental tenets were impossible for him to believe – he was an honest man.

The particular points of his theological disagreements are not germane to this discussion. He knew, 600 years ago, he could have his cake and eat it. More importantly, he knew that he could not eat his cake and have it. He left the Church because he could not live within its navigational markers. For that he is given points for honesty.

We have Catholics, people like Vice President Curley Biden, Secretary Kathleen Sibelius, Senator Little Dick Durbin, Senator Patty Murray, Senator Barbara Mikulski, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, all, with no exceptions, all the Kennedys [living and dead] who think that their Church allows 2 from column A, 1 from column B, and a free pick before 6:00 PM. They gape, slack jawed and somewhat embarrassingly, when someone says “Thou art Peter. Upon this Rock I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against It.”

The people mentioned were held over a Baptism fount and had Holy water poured over them. They were anointed with chrism. The stain of original sin was washed from their souls. A few years later they heard the words “Ego te absolvo”. They then ate the body and blood of Christ. A few years after that a Bishop tapped their cheeks and swore them into the Army of Christ.

They became full-fledged members of a marching society that is now into its 3rd millennium.

Their resolve was shaped and hardened by people as diverse as Josephite nuns, Christian Brothers de la Salle, Norbertine monks, and Jesuit priests

If they didn’t know the rules when they signed their contract they do now.

The rules from the Baltimore catechism about mortal sin are still in force. The issue must be grievous, you must have sufficient reflection, and there must be full consent of the will.

With the possible exception of Congresswoman Pelosi, a woman who suffers from diminished capacity that thralldom to the tenets of modern American Liberalism demands of its adherents, particularly those who think that evil results from socio-economic causes, all the others must know that the “conscience thing” won’t go away.

“The world turns and the world changes,
But one thing does not change.
In all of my years, one thing does not change.
However you disguise it, this thing does not change:
The perpetual struggle of Good and Evil.”

Holy Mother Church, and don’t those words sound odd yet reassuring, gives much leeway in things labeled malum prohibitum. Vito Corleone was right when he said the Church turned its gaze away from drinking and gambling. Those things that fall under the very narrow roof of an infamia, things that are malum per se, can not to be treated so casually.

Tevye, from Fiddler on the Roof, said that there was a line he could not cross. It only involved a marriage. No one would have died from it. This is a different as it can be.

Saint Augustine, Luther’s mentor, said “Love God and do what you will”.

20 years ago, Governor Mario Cuomo, a modern American Liberal with 19 years of Roman Catholic instruction told an eager audience at Notre Dame University, the most “Catholic” thing in America, that while he was personally opposed to abortion he had no choice but to countenance it because it was the Law of the Land. Logic would dictate that he would have personally put Dred Scott on the midnight train to Georgia because it too was the Law of the Land.

Although Lord Barack the Beneficent would have benefited from someone wagging a threatening finger in his face during geography class – Hint. The number of states in the Union corresponds to the number of stars on the flag. – he had the political sense to put Roman Catholics in the front line of his assault on life. There was no shortage of volunteers.

Chris Matthews, a Kennedy ass kisser of such sublime ignorance that if film became available of Saint Jack buggering Macaroni, Caroline’s pony, at the Easter Egg Roll – Easter? Egg? Good Friday, Redemption? Resurrection? Spring? New Life? – he would say it was a misunderstanding fueled by the Tea Party, tells us it is OK to acquiesce in murder. Further, the greater good of emptying the emergency rooms of illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, the undeserving poor, and free loading scoundrels is sufficient to overcome infanticide.

It is one of those moments when the choice is clear

.All of the abovementioned names have several things in common. In matters civil they have never seen a tax that shouldn’t be raised or a regulation that couldn’t be tightened. That they are all card carrying modern American Liberals is a given. That they are all elected officials or public people is also a given. They are also Roman Catholics who publicly profess their faith and have raised their children as Catholics.

Thomas More told us that “when statesmen forsake their private consciences for the sake of their public duties…they lead their country by a short route to chaos”.

I don’t think they are in danger of losing their heads.

I can’t, as no man can, speak to the state of them losing their souls.

I know in my lifetime there was a form of excommunication – de facto – for when prominent Catholics gave scandal to the faithful. I don’t know if it survived Vatican 2.

The United States Government is telling the Roman Catholic Church that they must acquiesce in murder. The first line of this murderous phalanx is led by volunteer Judas bulls, Catholics all

The distant sound they will hear is that of the Hound, God’s Hound, picking up their scent.

There is time, there is always time, to come out of the cave and “look up and see the stars”.

Is it time for you to nail some instructions to the front door of Saint Patrick’s?

“All are welcome. The Confessional is always open. If ‘public duties’ require you to genuflect in a church whose only sacrament is abortion stay away from the Communion rail in this Church. That’s freedom of choice, isn’t it?”

RE: “Free Speech For Me But Not For Thee” – With apologies to Nat Hentoff. Some comments on your column on how a new variant of Gresham’s Law has been discovered in this year’s election cycle/

Mr. Pitts,

The pre-dawn reading on my thermometer said 49 degrees.

Hey! It’s not Green Bay or even Allen, Texas but crisp winter mornings down here give me 2 great opportunities.

#1 – Put the underwater lights on. Toss some 10 day old endive, arugula, Swiss chard, tofu, and organic pomegranates for fiber into the trap and stand back because here come the dumbass manatees. I know it hasn’t caught on yet but as soon as I get the South Beach Diet dudes to endorse manatee sushi and manatee sweetbreads I’ll “create” more jobs in Florida than those ohmadanish jackasses in the White House could imagine.

#2 – Thanks to Rachel Carson, the Bernie Madoff of pseudo-science and one of the 20th century’s great charlatans, Right Guard deodorant in a spray can was outlawed. Before it became verboten I bought a truckload of it. That’s right. The Ozone layer killer.
3 decades of trial and error experimentation showed me that the best time to spray is on a cool winter morning. Imagine a rocket disguised as a biodegradable inorganic chemical predator. You can almost hear it tearing up the supine Ozone.

As you can see I had my morning all mapped out.

Then I got to your column about “bad” money driving “good” money out of the political arena. I guess Gresham was right. “Bad” vs. “Good” is the kiss of death for “Good”, right?

You say that when Lord Barack the Beneficent and Blessed be his name and may his tribe increase turned his back on his self-proclaimed principles you were “disappointed but not surprised”.

Would I be a cad or a rotter if I point out that the one great principle of modern American Liberalism is that principles don’t count? Since plaid is the favorite color of all card carrying modern American Liberals it is easy to understand. If you believe in nothing you’ll believe in anything.

You say the “2010 Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case was disastrous”. It “paved the way for corporations to pump unlimited money into the electoral process”. .

I was unaware that unions were precluded from doing the same. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Would I be correct in assuming that money from the Koch Brothers is “Bad” while money from George Soros is “Bad”? George Orwell was more prescient than we knew when he said that while “all animals are equal some animals are more equal than others”.

Having spent a long time in various Federal Courthouses I agree with your premise that Justice sometimes is a commodity that serves at the whim of the highest bidder. Only a naïf would believe that Justice and Law are the opposite sides of the same coin. O.J. Simpson and Leopold & Loeb are two separate chapters in the same book.

But I digress.

Let’s say that I am a legatee of the perfectly legal tax dodging trusts created in 1936 by that old corsair Papa Joe Kennedy. My political passion is meatless Tuesdays and putting James Buchanan on the soon to be introduced $3 dollar bill. I will support any candidate who believes likewise. It’s my money, isn’t it? Who the Hell are you to tell me, and worse, try to prevent me from speaking my mind?

There is one guiding principle here.

Even though Justice Ginsberg thinks it’s “old and tired” the Constitution spells it out in 5 magnificent words:

“CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW…”

There is a connection between pregnancy and free speech. Either you are or you aren’t. Either it is or it isn’t

The First Amendment doesn’t say “Congress shall make no law except when rich guys, doubtless all Republicans, give money to people or causes that Emperor Leonard doesn’t like”.

The Constitution, and despite Justice Ginsberg’s speech showing she has lost a bit off her fast ball, is simultaneously the first and last man standing. It was the first to put in writing certain rights that were ours from birth, rights that were ours “from beyond the stars”. It may be the last bastion against men who disdain the Rule of Law without which we become subject to the whims of the thug du jour.

It allows American flags to be burned in America by Americans.
It allows wing nuts to picket American GI funerals.
It allows columnists to say anything.

The consequences of stopping someone from saying something would normally be the classic definitions of modern American Liberal nightmares: the scary “slippery slope” and the more ominous “chilling effect”

Who will decide who will speak?

You?

Me?

Juvenal, another DWEM, said Quis custodiet ipso custodes. Who will guard the custodians?

Now that it is too late to catch some manatees – the babies are the best – or begin an unauthorized incursion into the weakened Ozone layer my day is ruined. I think I’ll try to figure out the difference between “Principle” and “Principal”.

When asked what was the main thing to look for in a candidate for public office James Madison, a true Constitutional scholar, replied “Character. Character is all.”

RE: Allen West, Black Conservatives, Conservative Blacks, and what a diet of “Rainbow Stew” will do to you. Some comments on your column on why Congressman West should move to Mars.

Mr. Lyons,

“Allen West is moving north”
Today
You

Does that mean he is moving to Maryland like former Congressman Robert Wexler, AKA “Toad”? If memory serves Wexler’s Florida address was a Chinese takeaway in Delray. Is it racist to ask a White man for a photo ID? That way his domicile would have been made clear.

As you say, Congressman West has made a career in “berating liberals”. He does this for the self-evident fact that it is so very, very easy to do so. I have been told by confidential sources that must remain anonymous that berating liberals is good for the environment. Whatever I can do to save even one drowning polar bear I’ll do.

#1 – You may recall the caterwauling about the Bush administration borrowing money to finance its deficit. Modern American Liberals sounded like Jacob Marley and Ebenezer Scrooge had gotten back together again. Lord Barack the Beneficent will have borrowed more money in 4 years than Bush borrowed in 8. If there is a difference between Republicans borrowing and Democrats borrowing I have failed to find it. Perhaps you could tell me.

#2 – One of the more perpetual mantras of modern American Liberals is FREEDOM. Speech, thought, art, expression – Woe betide any Conservative who dares to limit any of the above! That brings us face to face with the political cognitive dissonance that modern American Liberalism demands of its votaries.

It is OK to burn an American Flag. It is OK to have American taxpayers subsidize a play – Corpus Cristi – that says the reason Christ was crucified was because of a lovers’ quarrel with Judas. It is OK to have an exhibit of photographs showing one man urinating into the mouth of another man. It is OK to show one man inserting a whip handle into the anus of another man. Robert Mapplethorpe was the photographer. It’s OK to show a cross suspended in a clear cylinder filled with urine. The artist on that one was Andres Serrano.

Would it be fair to say that anyone who objected to any of the above would fit the description of “bitter clingers”?

The contradiction comes when someone suggests that maybe Allah ain’t so Akbar. Maybe he started the first traveling troupe of the world famous Moslem “Dancing Boys”. Maybe he was a bit too friendly with the outcast goat, the one with the limp and the so sad eyes.

Heaven forefend if anyone mentions this. The heavens would tumble if anyone should draw a cartoon of this. Thousands of turd eating WOGs in Kafiristan would rise up and burn down the only house in the province with indoor plumbing to show how much they hate the Zionist loving infidels.

[As an aside, perhaps you could tell me why everything inanimate in a Muslim country is described either as “holy” or “sacred”? The “sacred” Koran in the “holy” city of Bugfug must be protected at all costs lest infidels steal it and wipe their asses with the torn pages. How about the “holy” city of Wilton Manors? How about the “sacred” Elbo Room?]

It is a level of contradictory madness not seen since Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz sent 2 Florida Department of Law Enforcement Agents to my house to question me about something I wrote.

Would “slippery slope” or the more ominous “chilling effect” be appropriate?

Agent Thomas [the good cop] and Agent Mineva [the bad cop] came to my house to suggest that free speech isn’t exactly free. Of course it depends on whose Gore is being oxed but modern American Liberals are constantly astonished and outraged when someone reminds them that “Free men speak with free tongues”. The “bad cop” actually told me to stop writing to public officials. This man had a badge, a gun and, more importantly, the majestic force of the law behind him. You would have thought I was protesting in front of an abortion clinic.

But I digress.

Here’s a thought.

Allen West versus Alcee Hastings.

In a district rigged so that either Nat Turner or Aunt Jemima would have been elected it would be a true test of voter sentiment. The voters of that district are to be commended. By sending a felon to Congress they cut back on the learning curve.

You say that “finger waggin’” at a black President is as racist as a white sheeted Robert Byrd [D-WV] burning a cross on the White House lawn.

Would he not have been better off if a teacher had “wagged” his finger at him and said “It’s 50 states. Not 57 and not 58. Remember that.” Also, some kind soul should have told him that Austrian is an adjective like in Austrian Alps. It is not a language spoken in Vienna. Wagner wrote all his librettos in German, not Austrian.

You say, “Blacks can be conservative.”

Would it be fair to say that almost all modern American Liberals favor abortion? Nat Hentoff would be a notable exception. Would it be fair to say that almost all Conservatives are opposed to abortion? Perhaps you could help me understand a most disturbing fact.

Since Roe v Wade almost 50,000,000 babies have been aborted. Black women make up about 6% of the population. Between 35% and 40% of the abortions performed in this country have been on Black women. As many as 20,000,000 wanabee Douglas Lyons or Allen Wests have been denied their chance to excel, indeed even their chance to live. Is this racist per se? Is it Affirmative Action on steroids? I suppose there is some consolation in knowing that as many as 20,000,000 people will not have to endure the humiliation of having someone wag a finger in their faces. I have seen a picture of Brian Williams wagging his finger in George W. Bush’s face. If a White finger being waved in a Black President’s face is bad is a White finger being waved in a White President’s face neutral? If a Black finger – say the imposing digit of Al Sharpton – were to be wagged in a White President’s face would that be good?

As usual, our little dialogue ends with no resolution.

Your last paragraph suggests that someone should have wagged his finger in your face. You say that it is all about jobs. I read where the Black teenage unemployment rate in Washington, DC, AKA the Land of the Immortal Golden Goose, the Land from where all milk and honey flow, is 50%. I will bet a penny to $10 that you believe that one way to stop this would be to raise the minimum wage.

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is King. God Bless Congressman West wherever he lives.

RE: CURSES! FOILED AGAIN – Some comments on your 11th hour conversion [not really] to what those DWEMs [Dead White European Males] were talking about.

My dear Professor,

The power of the vampire comes from the fact that no one believes he exists.

Here it is, Super Bowl Sunday, and you made me feel like Charley Brown. You, like Lucy, told me not to worry. This time you’ll hold the ball. This time, honest to God, you’ll let me kick it.

From a mechanical engineering standpoint it is the plant leg, not the kicking leg, that is vital. I have my plant leg in the grasp of 25 centuries of the political science branch of Western Civilization. My kicking leg is arcing, gracefully but powerfully, towards the elongated spheroid – Do you think it would be sign of our maturity as a multi-cultural rainbow quilt society if we were to drop the term “pigskin”? – when you drop the ball yet again.

Boy oh boy but do I feel like a fool. Now I know why you never stand in front of a mirror.

Your column is about the perils of democracy.

The Greeks knew that the people, unfettered, would be an unruly mob. They would be in constant thralldom to the Sophist du jour. They knew that man will either control his passions or they will control him.

25 centuries since men began to argue about how to govern themselves it comes down, as it always has, to the conflict between order and freedom.

All, absolutely all, of the Western World’s political progress has been made when citizens control, restrict, impede, hamper, fill in the blank, the power of those who are in charge. The agora, the forum, the 5 Emperors, the Magna Carta, the Glorious Revolution, the miracle at Philadelphia, leap to mind. I would be remiss if I were not to include Thermopylae, Zama, Tours, Lepanto, Shiloh, and Midway inter alia. Free men, and men who would be free, are ferocious in a most feral manner when their rights, “rights that are theirs from beyond the stars”, are threatened.



The best evidence of this – man reigning in government rather than having other men afflicted with the Fatal Conceit of knowing what is best for all other men – comes from the first five words of the First Amendment.

CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW…

Then you broke my heart by not letting me kick the ball. I’m young. I’ll get over it.

You may be the proto-fascist that Plato had in mind when you said that the way to make men free is to make them less free. Ergo, the Internet, Twitter, Facebook – avenues of information that could be harmful to modern American Liberals, men infected with ”non-malodorous fecal matter syndrome”, men such as yourself – must be controlled.

As you say, “[how} could we possible know?”

In the heart of every card carrying, fire breathing, if only they would just understand, true believing modern American Liberal is a storm trooper waiting to be unleashed. The Horst Wessel song has been replaced with Kumbaya. Be good or we’ll make you. Soon we’ll need a photo id to have a milk shake on the way to the voting booth where we won’t need one. The photo id; not the milk shake.

Once we have our thinking straight, once we hit the Reset button on the mystery of human nature, the lion and the lamb will cuddle peacefully. Of course, we will still need a new lamb every evening.

I’m sure there will be a government program to level that playing field.

“How stands the Republic, neighbor?”

For the first time the answer is unclear.

RE: “Dog Whistling” – Some comments on your column about how Republicans, rotters all, will goose step us straight to Avernus. Also, they’re really mean because those words mean, as the Red Queen said, exactly what you want them to mean.

Mr. Goldberg,

In the aftermath of Vince Foster, counsel to President Clinton and a very special friend to Hillary Clinton eating his gun, there was a chaotic scene in the White House.

In an effort to protect his client one Bernie Nussbaum, Esq. danced around post mortem police procedure involving securing evidence after a suspicious death. He grabbed so many documents out of Foster’s office that he risked having a hernia. That he inspired Sandy Berger, National Security Advisor, to stuff Top Secret documents into his knickers in the later glory days of the Clinton administration may be apocryphal. It’s such a natural segue that I hope it isn’t.

The White House staff said, over and over ad nauseam, that he was a” New York lawyer”. Imagine if Pat Buchanan had said that! You would have had him producing a Broadway musical based on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

“New York lawyer” is a synonym for members of the Bar who are known for their aggressiveness. They tend to like their rib eyes done past medium. They marvel at the magic in Chinese restaurants that changes pork into chicken. Many of them would be the children of, as modern American Liberal and Democratic Party shill Al Sharpton calls them, “hook nosed diamond merchants”. Many of them lived in what modern American Liberal and Democratic shill Jesse Jackson called “hymietown”.

Send up a flare when it’s time to use the term “dog whistling”. [Are those whistles breed or group specific?]

I always get the adage, maybe the maxim, possibly the truism, about the goose, the gander, and the sauce arse backward.

You say that Herman Cain said that Obama was too “International”. I recall a constant criticism of George W. Bush in 2000 was that he wasn’t “International” enough. [I recall in 2004 how many modern American Liberals became visibly tumescent at the thought of John Kerry, who served in Vietnam and is married to Tereza, the mad cap Gypsy lady, being able to address the Frog Assembly in French. Any combination of merde, beret, or chapeau would be acceptable.

What passes for political commentary in the covens inhabited by modern American Liberal dog whistlers is akin to the classic Saturday Night Live skit about Oprah Winfrey. “She’s too fat; she’s too skinny; repeat. It’s either too much or too little. Aristotle one of those pesky DWEMs, said that something cannot be what it is not. Too bad that he never met any modern American Liberals.

Talk about mixing metaphors!

Of course you can have your cake and eat it.

You can’t eat your cake and have it.

The one exception is if your favorite color is plaid, plaid being the favorite color of all modern American Liberals – ink stained wretch division.

Do you know if the Ku Klux Klan Deputy Grand Kleagle robes of Senator Robert Byrd [D-WVA] have become available? You may remember that he spent a lot of time in his youth burning crosses, scaring Nigrahs, and hating New York lawyers. He was the Senator that the same White House bum kissers who excused Boinie’s brashness because he was brissed called the Cicero of the Senate during the Clinton unpleasantness. Memory fades but the issue was perjury, wasn’t it?

PS - Apropos of nothing I have been having my knee drained. It is astonishing how much fluid comes out. Looking at your picture for the first time I know that a skilled technician could get 8 to 10 ounces of schmaltz out of your jowls. Don’t bother dog whistling. Bowser would be drooling at your feet
