Washington Faces Unexpected Reality

Washington Faces Unexpected Reality — Here’s some good news — an unexpected political reality is being imposed on Washington. The American people are realizing they don’t need government as much as those in government claim they do, according to Scott Rasmussen writing for Real Clear Politics.

Rasmussen cites Nicco Mele’s book, “The End of Big” which claims: “The devices and connectivity so essential to modern life put
unprecedented power in the hands of every individual — a radical
redistribution of power that our traditional institutions don’t and
perhaps can’t understand,”

Rasmussen points out that is demonstrated in the reaction to the minor budget trimming known as the sequester. Those in The Beltway were certain it would inspire  outrage among the populace.  Most Americans, however, considered it “a baby step in the right direction.,”

Hopefully, this bit of info gives some of our squishier Republicans some spine.

And here’s a link showing a perspective on education that you aren’t going to get in the establishment media. Paula Bolyard writing for PJMedia.com shows the surprising way homeschooling leads to healthy,  happy and well-educated children and families. Any family that could homeschool would be nuts not to, if what she writes is accurate.

Establishment Wants Two Americas

Establishment Wants Two Americas — That the establishment wants two Americas is the only explanation. One would be poor, frightened and dependent, the other would be themselves and living safe and at leisure.

Christopher Orlet, who spent two years living in the inner city, wrote a wonderful yet painful to read article for The American Spectator about the culture of poverty. He says:

The culture of poverty is many things. Actually it is an accumulation of things. Having one of those things doesn’t necessarily mean you are part of that culture. One characteristic of the culture of poverty is the single-parent household. But there are many middle class and even upper class (though fewer) single-parent households that are doing just fine. That is because they have resources unavailable to the poor. Like savings. Lawyers. Reliable transportation.
But if you are a single parent with multiple children by multiple fathers, and a high school dropout, with a record, then chances are you are part of that culture. If you move to a new rental every six months, yanking your kids out of school after school, and if you do drugs in front of your children, and sell your food stamps for cash, then chances are you are part of that culture. If you are 20 years old, living with your grandmother, with no interest in ever getting a job, or getting married, or doing much of anything, chances are you are part of that culture. If you do not have a kitchen table, but you do have a big flat screen TV, and when the social worker comes to visit someone yells, “The social worker is here, go get the light bulb,” then chances are you are part of that culture.

See anybody trying to change it? Sure, but they are the Sarah Palins of the world and the Ted Cruz’s and the Rick Perrys and the Rush Limbaughs. The people who are actually care about these people are the ones the establishment attacks as uncaring. It’s the ones who don’t see skin color as an impediment to success and happiness but rather culture and mores who are attacked as racists.

Persons of any skin can end up living lives of permanent despair, it should be noted. Maybe that’s the intent. It should scare you.

Establishment Wants Two AmericasAnd who is this establishment anyway? Some guy who owns a car dealership or a pizza shop? An accountant who goes to work in a suit? The local lawyer or doctor?

Don’t be silly. The ones that set the agenda are the ones that control the old media, the entertainment industry and the educational system. They’re supported by those who run places like Goldman Sachs and Brown Brothers Harriman.

It wouldn’t be that hard to change the culture. Once upon a time the vast majority of black kids were born into two parent households.
But rather than being condemned, the ghetto is romanticized in music and film. “The dawg” with a lot of ladies is praised as is the single sassy mom who needs no man. The drug dealer is just a businessman. About the only taboo is to be a “snitch”.

The establishment tells white boys that all you need is tat to make you worthy of approval. White girls get to watch their one-time Disney heroes become sex jokes all while being encouraged to emulate them.

Without love, nobody cares. Without anybody caring there is none to challenge those who lust for power.
Those that do care have a fight on their hands. May God grant us strength.

Montco Dem Activist Allegedly Took Boy’s Photo In Restroom

Montco Dem Activist Allegedly Took Boy’s Photo In Restroom — A Lansdale man has been charged  by Orange County, Fla.,  with one count of felony video voyeurism against a child younger than 16 years of age for taking a photo of a young boy in a restroom stall at Walt Disney World on Aug. 2
The charge was duly reported by NBC10. Certain things, however, were left out that one is confident would otherwise would not have been if things had not been just a tad different — namely his political affiliation.

The accused, Joseph M. Cionzynski, 59, you see, is active with Friends of Lansdale, a left-leaning political action committee that supported the Democratic Party establishment against a couple of of party mavericks, according to RedState.com, which notes that he is also works for the National Labor Relations Board.

Cionzynski allegedly placed his cell phone under the stall and took several photographs of the boy, age 8, who was sitting on the toilet. The boy saw what was occurring and ran from the room crying. He got his mother and the two re-entered the room where the boy was able to identify Cionzynski by his shoes.

Cionzynski voluntarily turned the phone over to a sheriff’s deputy who did not find pictures of the child but did find two pictures of adult genitalia. The phone was seized  and Cionzynski was given a trespass warning but not arrested.  Investigators later found pictures of the boy, however, according to BayNews9.com.

An arrest warrant was issued Aug.15 and Cionzynski was arrested in Montco for extradition.

Wonder where Cionzynski stands on gay marriage? You think he might have supported D. Bruce Hanes for Montgomery County Register of Wills?

George Zimmerman Question Of The Day — If Trayvon Martin was beating George Zimmerman because he was gay, would those who get their news from MSNBC, Comedy Central and the Philadelphia Inquirer still call Zimmerman a murderer?

Hep C, Hipsters And Tats

Hep C, Hipsters And Tats — A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated that the number of people in the United States infected with the  Hepatitis C virus is between 3.2 and 3.5 million.

of people infected with the virus develop such things. Hep C, Hipsters And Tats

And what are the primary causes of the disease? Intravenous abuse of drugs and tattooing.

Just something to consider when making unforced lifestyle choices.

Hipster Billionaire Has $9m wedding

Sean Parker, the first president of Facebook and co-founder of Napster who has a net worth estimated at $2 billion, married his singer girlfriend and mother of his child,  Saturday at a ceremony in Big Sur, California that cost $9 million.

Landscapers spent weeks building fake waterfalls, ruins and a $600,000 stone gate. The couple and guests were garbed by Oscar-winning designer Ngila Dickson.

Wow. How many poor children could he have fed with that money? How many illegal immigrants could he have supplied with health care?

OTOH, one supposes it beats giving it to Democrats as he had been doing.

New Patent Law; Little Guy Loses Again

New Patent Law; Little Guy Loses Again — The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, signed into law on Sept. 16, 2011, went into effect on March 16.

The act changes American patent law from “first to invent”, as it was since 1952,  to “first to file”. Under the old, and more just, system if you could prove using lab notes and witness testimony that you were first the first to invent a product you would win the patent.

Now, the cards are all held by those with the best legal staff.

“It’s great news – if ytou have an in-house patent department,” writes Issie Lapowksy of Inc. magazine.

The bill’s co-sponsors Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX21) have a reputation for being in the pocket of corporate high tech.

Something To Ponder

Why did the IRS investigate Tea Party groups but no establishment Republican groups? Just throwing it out there to give you something to think about on sleepless nights.

Fight feudalism.

Progressive Nazis At Swarthmore

Progressive Nazis At Swarthmore — Delaware County has got itself in the national spotlight due the actions of progressives who crashed a Swarthmore College’s Board of Managers demanding the college divest from fossil-fuel businesses.

The activists took over the microphone, shouted down those who objected and completely violated the rules of order.

Who needs laws if your cause is just? Or at least if you convince yourself that it is.

Once suspects this crowd could easily rationalize serious violations of the rights of others — siccing the IRS on them if they should object to their policies perhaps or wiretapping their phones– if they should ever obtain the power to do so.
