Bloomberg for President???

I am starting to think this country needs a kick in the pants. It needs someone who is beholden to
no parties and has proven he can govern and run things effectively.

It is true I do not share Bloomburg's green mania or his war on Sodium. Those positions are abominations, but are better than the status quo.

We need an outsider who will look at our current mess and demand results. Bloomburg understands and hires the best. He is forgiving of people who make errors because they are trying too hard, but woe unto thee who is a slacker on the public dole. Our nation needs professionalism and accountability in government and Bloomburg is uniquely able to provide this. He looks to surround himself with the best and brightest administrators.

If he decides to run I may go to work for the campaign. This is not about left or right in my case. It is about a government that is unaccountable, unfocused and needs professional guidance. He has proven he can deal with intransigent unions and get the job done.

The question is what do we get for our tax dollars? What is the plan for growth and getting America back on track? Bloomburg can handle those questions even if his green goofiness and war on sodium are inane.

The Tea Parties Paul Problem

I have been to Tea Party events and no bigotry and I went looking for it. The Paul problem is caused by the Tea Party crew's identification with the kooky Paul family. Rand Paul does not share his fathers mania about Israel. However, his comments and floundering on the Civil Rights Act is disturbing but not shocking.

Rand Paul's repeated appearances on Alex Jones radio show that features Tuther material that is frequently antisemitic is cause for concern. This would not be a problem if Paul were not the son of a crank who has accepted support from KKK types.

Hopefully, Rand Paul will be asked these questions in the coming days. Truthers have no place in any respectable group.

It is obvious who is obsessed with whom

The ancient rabid mongrel has an obsession with this site and CM. We have not commented on Yeagley's site for quite some time. The subject of his idiotic writings does get raised by commenters
such as the Duck.

CM is well liked by the readers and participants here. We do not have any of the nasty types of squables and tiffs those who are familiar with Batty Ann are quite familiar with.

Any attempt to sue anyone from the rabid mongrel will be met with a counter suit.

This site is above the IQ of the rabid mongrel and the gourd dancer.

Before you start bashing CM on her looks you should look in the mirror. Your recent pictures
are nothing to brag about. You look like a Chia Pet on steroids. Unlike Chia Pets that are loved you are loathed. How many ex husbands committed suicide just to get away from you.

Maybe Batty Ann can start a fresh round of Yeagley is gay rumors.

What a wonderful day

I spent the afternoon with the Tranquil Sea and the Beloved Sprite. Once again I ordered from the West Indian Chinese place up the block. I usually order on more dish than we have people. In theory it is easy as The Beloved Sprite Likes poultry, Tranquil Sea likes Shrimp and I will get some type of poultry and on rare occasion lamb with Chinese Vegetables. The Beloved Sprite likes Baby Corn so I gave her mine. I always try to block out three hours of time. Last week I was too exhausted from the Guyana community fundraiser.

I will be finishing the Book on Oneida history. If one is keeping track I started it way back but some other books with many of the same people popped up. If the Kenneth Roberts books arrive I will bump them to the front.

On the music front the Surf Instrumental sound drives the Vegan up the wall. I like the sound and the original fresh quality some of the Instrumental Rock songs have. Sometimes the songs have one or two words like the song Church Key.

I will see if the Guyana community has an independence day event.

Moving on to With Musket and Tomahawk by Louusz

This is an amazing book that reads as well as any Mitchner work. I recommend this for Summer reading or as fare for students of the Revolutionary War. We do not think of New York State in terms of rugged Wilderness. However, even today this region is somewhat wild in many areas. If you have not lived or traveled in the area it is made somewhat easier by roads. The rugged woods that were a part of the Battle remain.

I have driven in and around this region many times. Its rugged beauty persists till the current era.One does not need to go to Maine to see the primeval woods. It is much closer in Adirondak Park.

Onto an amazing part of the book. This area should have been fairly well known to the military in the UK. Many Battles were fought in the Ticonderoga and William Henry area. Armies had to contend with these obstacles in the French and Indian War.

Saratoga marks the last major campaign in the Northern region. There were plenty of raids, but the focus was elsewhere.

Shorts

Once again we have a Democrat trying to boost their resume by telling stories about their service in Vietnam. At least Gomer Kerry actually served for three months and has stopped slandering the people who served with him for 33 years. Kerry is part of a generation that never grew up and defines itself by Vietnam. Horowitz, by contrast has learned from the serious errors and has evolved beyond cartoon form Marxism.

Long term readers know my birthday is coming up. I share my birthday with John Wayne, James Arness and Sissy Spacek. More interestingly and fittingly it is also the date of independence for my adopted country Guyana. I have been adopted by the local Guyanese community long before my relationship with the Tranquil Sea and the beloved Sprite. I have attended community functions and charity events and am looking forward to a trip to Guyana in the fall. Note where I am going is far from Hugo's crack den terrorist state. Should I encounter any Chavezistas they can not be killed and fed to local wildlife. As many Chavez supporters are huge drug addicts the effect of feeding drug addicts to carnivorous reptiles, fish and mammals is unknown. It would also represent unthinkable cruelty to animals that we do not endorse.

Maybe I can find a clip of John Wayne and James Arness punching out Commies in Big Jim McClain for my birthday.

I may do a special post for my birthday. We used to do an event known as a cyber roast. I will combine it with my tribute to radio host Bob Grant and call it a GAB post ( Get at Beakerkin).
Other than the banned commenters such as Greg, Gertie, John Brown, Uptown Steve, LWB and the satanic and hack writer Socrates you can let all the fur fly so long as you do not repeat yourself and are original.

I will do a smaller post where the readers can interview me below that.

There will be no B Team adventure Last of the Mobeakans or Beakerambo Stars is Hamlet and Eggs over Reds. Over Memorial Day I will see if I can round up Sonia and do another round of Slobs vs Snobs on Film. The focus will be entirely on popular films and the Duck will likely show up if only to skewer the host. In other words it will be those who view film as art vs those who view it as entertainment in that episode.

In Defense of David Horowitz

David Horowitz is a respected author and friend. People like the antisemitic Marxist Duck do not like him because he speaks the truth. Communists are fairly similar to Muslims in that they are obsessive and petty to people who were fellow Commies who reject Marxism.

The charge Horowitz is a bigot must be amusing to a man who marched in the famed Civil Rights Marches of the 60's, worked with the Black Panthers and has Black in laws and grandchildren. Horowitz break with the left started when he was disillusioned with the Black Panthers who were little more than a criminal gang with great PR. Contrary to film stories violence including the murder of a book keeper who Horowitz recommended are quite real. One can read the true story in Pearson's shadow of the Panther.

Many of his critics do not bother to have read his books. I have read most of them except for his earliest writing. His books are all excellent and the only problem he has is that when he has written so many good books at a certain point you compete against yourself.

There are those who point at his publishing of the disturbed Dr Yeagley. Many of us wanted to believe in Yeagley. Sadly, he was just not up to the lofty goals of Bad Eagle. As soon as he found out that Yeagley was preaching idiocy about race he was dropped. FYI One can also see numerous examples of my dealing directly with Yeagley on this issue. One can not see any examples of the Duck taking Commies to task over the most blatant forms of antisemitism including claims that a Jewish Cabal blew up the WTC and he has supported claims of organ theft.

Onto Horowitz and Islam, some of us see a threat to America from the far left and militant Islam.
One can listen to the calls for racist revolution from commie turd Gochez of Larazza. The Duck
pretends that this is something else while in a bird brained stupor about Tea Party types. Similarly, there is a serious problem that exists in the Islamic community in the USA and abroad. Were every Muslim as noble and tolerant as Stephen Schwartz there would be no problems. Unfortunately, a religion that is based upon submission lends itself to all types of political opportunists who seek power via violence and want to replace our civilization with Theocracy. Communists aid and abet these fanatics by openly stoking mostly false history and grievances. One can meet plenty of rational Muslims who just want to live in peace. Unfortunately, commies like the Duck have found stoking populist Joooo hatred a force multiplier. Even far left blogs like Troutsky are openly linked to a Nazi blog that makes fun of the Holocaust and whose posts are printed on Stormfront. Unlike, my vocal criticisms of Yeagley
who has never commented here one can never see a critical comment by Commies against Nazis so long as he echoes the Bad Joooooo, Pseudostinian as the center of the Universe myth.

Onto the dishonest bird brained Duck. Chomsky first lied about supporting Holocaust Denier Faurison claiming his support was free speech. Chomsky when faced with the words in his endorsement of the book has stated Holocaust Denial is not antisemitic. He is also the mentor of the planets most well known and documented antisemite Norman Finkola who just happens to leave the Maoism off his resume. He is also the only Marxist who manages to get fired in higher ed multiple times. The later feat is his true achievement.

The Duck also has echoed the theme of commies that the Jooooos use the Holocaust to shake down money and silence critics of Zionism. As commies welcome people who make Holocaust jokes on their blogs and it takes zero effort to find Holocaust deniers at peace protests this is not surprising. More to the point the Duck would never dream of telling Blacks, Indians and Hispanics who use their history in a way that furthers his Marxist liberation theology agenda that they are using their history to create a scam. The Duck's real problem with Yeagley is he is anticommunist and doesn't buy into Palestinians as center of the Universe. David Duke's articles are printed in pro Palestinian sites in the UK. Only Harry's Place has ever held this group accountable. At various times the Duck has been less than charitable to Thomas Sowwel, Larry Elder, Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas. He feels his bigotry like calling Condi Rice Aunt Jemimah or calling Yeagley Gay is somehow justified.

Sorry, but I have donated to Horowitz and he has been generous with his time in responding to short questions. I am proud of those donations and of the good work he does each and every day.
Maybe, I should make my next donation in honor of the bird brained Duck.

How does anyone take a person who regularly calls Condi Rice Aunt Jemimah seriously. Perhaps he can see how close his rant about organs is to the classic blood libel. Than again unlike lab rats commies do not learn until they ditch Marx.

Moving on to With Musket and Tomahawk by Louusz

This is a remarkably well written book that is history, but reads as easily as great historical fiction in the tradition of Mitchner and Roberts. The book is punctuated with the rugged wilderness and the tougher people that lived there. Even today much of this area remains wild. The area is today described as Adirondack National Park. This is not an area one wants to walk through off road. I have been to many of the places described such as Schroon Lake, Fort Anne and Benington.

One part the book describes is the brutal murder and scalping of Jane McRae. What is taught is that patriots used this murder to gather up people sitting on the fence. McRae was engaged to a loyalist named David Jones and living with a large older woman who was a Patriot but a first cousin of British General Fraser named Mrs. McNeal. Jones sent some Indians to pick up his fiance. Along the way they encounter another group of Indians and someone shoots and kills Jane McRae. McRae is then scalped by an Indian Wynadot Panther. The older woman is stripped and beaten, though not raped and brought into Burgoyne's camp.

When the woman arrived in the British camp she cursed the entire planet and raised such a stir the General Burgoyne and Fraser had to interrupt a meeting. Fraser immediately placed a cape on his first cousin who was irate. Jones picked up a tomahawk backed by his loyalist friends and wanted to kill the Indians. Meanwhile Mrs. McNeal was so livid several troops were required to get her into a tent and calmed down.

Burgoyne wanted to kill the Indian responsible for the death of McRae. Fearful of losing his allies he relented, but only allowed Indian Raids to proceed accompanied by a British Officer. Officer David Jones and his brother asked to be discharged and are refused. They desert and head back to Canada. Many Indians do not feel appreciated and desert as well.

Soldiers are killed in upcoming battles with notes left by the patriots referencing revenge for McRae.

The moral of the story should be do not mess with women of the frontier. In several places they are seen defending their homes from loyalist and Indian raiders.

Book Review The Battle of Cowpens by Kenneth Roberts

This book is the last book by the famed author of Northwest Passage. Like Mitchner he is a historian but his writing style is less ornate than. He writes a very short straight forward military
analysis of the battle which lasted about an hour. It is a very pleasant book that can be read in an hour or two.

Those of you familiar with Arnold's march to Canada and the Saratoga campaign will see the final battle of Daniel Morgan. Morgan like Arnold and Stark was denied the rank their actions had merited. We also learn that his hatred of the British was caused by receiving 499 lashes.

Morgan's technique was to aim for the officers and the enlisted men would panic. His men were well known for their accuracy.

Commies and the Islamo Genocide Bit

All of us should oppose any groups that are seeking genocide. David Horowitz had an exchange with a Muslim student activist that illustrates the support for killing civilians and genocide amongst some of the so called student activists.

The far left deans did deem it appropriate to discipline this student in the usual manner. We have seen students suspended and sent to sensitivity training for far less than this. Of course when a Muslim talks of killing civilians or exterminating Jews the Marxist left fosters this for political expediency.

All this being said it is not difficult to find decent Muslims who many of you know from your daily lives. I am convinced that the nexus of Marxist and Anarchist instigation and Petrodollar monarchy dollars has prevented peace for its own reasons. These groups need Israel as a catch all evil for their own reasons.

To CM

Mark Winters is a friend of mine. I have different views than he does but he has never
endorsed some of the racial and other lunacy of Yeagley. I am starting to think Yeagley is either insane or doing some form of stand up comedy and hasn't let the rest of us in on it.

The truth is that Bad Eagle was once a great place. It was great because of the people who wrote brilliant pieces. To a certain extent their presence kept Yeagley's demons in check. When a brilliant poster writes a post on a subject it raises the bar and keeps the discussion at adult level.

The reason I left has little to do with the rabid senile smelly mongrel Batty Ann. She is an imbecile and I suspect her degrees are from a rectal thermometer.

More amusing is her claim I want to be an Indian. I am an American and no other term is needed.

I want to point out the real beauty of America. I spent Friday night at a Guyanese community event raising money for an orphanage. I was there with the Tranquil Sea eating West Indian food, dancing to salsa, Indian and American music. I did laugh at the West Indian singer singing country music classics with an unusual accent. I also entertained folks with some borscht belt humor and my speaking in the West Indian patios is considered quite funny. Everyone banded together to raise money for a good cause.

The beauty of America is that we do not have second class citizens. Most of us live and love as our heart and soul dictates. The important part is that we respect these differences. I do enjoy
my time with the Tranquil Sea and being a father to the Sprite. As a matter of respect I do not eat beef or pork in their presence. I tend not to eat pork anyway, but if it is served I do not reject it. The reason is I respect the religion and culture of my adopted community. The subject
of my eating beef was discussed with the beloved Sprite. It is part of my culture that I do on occasion. I do not do it around you or your mother because we share a meal and bond together.
On my own I order poultry most of the time by taste.

What Yeagley misses in his warped paranoid mind is that Blacks and mixed race, multi ethnic people are very much a part of America. His aversion and notions of racial purity would have perplexed and been considered strange by the real Bad Eagle. I am reading the history of Western NY. There are scores of mixed race people who are considered valued community members such as Hon Yerry and the children of Molly Brandt. The heroic Green Mountain Boys
had Black members. There were patriots from every country of Europe including some Jews and Italians.

Of course the founding fathers were fighting for a set of shared ideals and those ideals and their example is lost on the clueless Yeagley.

About Time Israel Bars Chomsky

Israel has had a rare showing of common sense and barred hack Communist Noam Chomsky from entry. No State should ever require entry of a person who supports terrorism against that State from entry. In fact if this were an American supporting armed contras against the narco terrorist
state of Venezuela or the Castro regime the person would be jailed.

In reality freedom of speech should only be limited to citizens. If you are here on a student visa and are arrested at violent demonstration the student visa should be terminated.

So called expert opinions

I returned from a family function and am amazed at the ignorance of some relatives who have not been gainfully employed in two decades. My nephew drummaster is graduating tomorrow with a degree in criminal justice. He wants to follow my path and become a government investigator. This is an admirable goal and I am glad he is following my example. He will be a great officer in whatever agency he chooses. He has a more mild temperament than I do and similar abilities.

I am utterly astonished at the dangerous and idiotic advice imparted by people who have never sat for a security clearance. The sad truth about government is that in an ideal world it follows its own rules and regulations. However, as a union activist this is seldom the case and the best advice one can give is be vanilla. The slightest thing can lead to problems later on. Every trip outside of the country must be accounted for.

The truth is this person unlike many people has actively chosen to be unemployed. This person who is an expert on everyone's career has an accounting degree and could have easily found any number of jobs. How a person who has not worked in two decades while their spouse works three jobs became an expert remains unknown.

Of course when this person gives unsolicited advice I nod and walk away. Sorry, but people who have been out of gainful employment for two decades should impart advice only when asked.

The High and the Mighty and Beakerkin in the Age of Obama

I went to have lunch with an old employer of mine. He was under the impression that I hated him.
The truth was that I was always fond of his family and considered them friends. His younger brother was my boss out of college. I worked my way up very quickly. His brother was smart enough to allow a talented associate the freedom to use his talents while he played golf and took it easy. When there was a huge task we all worked together and it was as fine a crew as I ever worked with. Most of us went our seperate ways, some of us into more interesting lives others into obscurity.

Unlike, the rest of my peers I was in the trade by choice. My degree meant survival in an age where the industry around us collapsed. I moved onto a bigger stage and then vanished for a long time. Few new my actual path when I sought out a new career and left it all behind to travel to Vermont. As I surveyed the wreckage of the industry I left, my choice was correct.

Still I have nostalgia for the old way of life and a forgotten time. Much like a cowboy reminisces about the end of an era a part of me yearns for one last push. I did a weekend with another former employer who learned the hard way about his poor judgment in the people around him.
I did a small job easily and when the envelope was handed to me I returned it back. It was on the house for closure and old times. Judging the people around you correctly must be a lost art as it is a running theme and the wrong choices often have a lasting impact.

My former boss was glad to see a face from the past who looked upon him fondly. I reminded him it is Officer these days but it was said with a smile. I reminded him of the time the first business went out and I treated the partner they blamed for the failure of the company with love. My cousin did not take it well and she shorted me five figures.

My former boss asked if I ever spoke to my cousin. Our paths crossed again and it wasn't pretty, but I had no regrets. I climbed higher in the industry without her help. In fact my relationship to her was a hindrance. My continued success became an irritant to her. She was asked multiple times about her mysterious cousin. I was asked multiple times that I am my own person.

When this new business venture failed this business partner was blamed by my cousin. It was quite predictable and in character for her to do so. Times haven't been too kind to the partner who works for someone else. I told him my version of the story and we both laughed. She offered me the sum I was owed and I informed her it was my price of freedom. From that point I was no longer related. She merely told her partner that I blamed him and told her to keep the money.

My former boss wanted to pick up the check, but I insisted. It is easier for a man like myself to handle adversity than for a man who was a prince. I told him I consider his brother and himself to be long lost members of my family.

I left the business at the right time. I do miss some friends and a different set of challenges and being a man of action at times. Another former boss insisted on talking and offered me a small fortune to work abroad. I declined and stated I am proud of my new job and I will never leave the Tranquil Sea or the Sprite for adventure. The new frontier for my former vocation is abroad
and reputations are earned and worth more than ever. My reputation grew legendary after a mysterious departure.

It was an interesting return to my former friends. I did not return on my hands and knees begging for scraps. The story that insiders say is that nobody ever leaves on their own and they
always return looking for the next job. I guess that I never bothered to read the book or was too busy writing new chapters.

The recession is like an ice storm only some trees thought sturdy snapped this time. I am fortunate to be doing what I love even if it is frustrating at times. I see people who graduated ahead of me and lived the Wall Street Dream crushed. I see the obsolete IT displacement folks who thought the good times would last forever.

I hope to see this former employer again as well as friends from my old line of work. Our lives are like novels that have unpredictable story lines. I never believed the old axiom be careful of how you treat people on the way up as you may see them on the way down again. In the age of Obama this is just sadly very true.

Amazing but True

On a certain level Native Americans do need to get their history out there. I did go to a huge book in NYC specifically looking for decent readings on the history of the Oneida, but would have taken books on other tribes. I was amazed at how slim the offerings are in comparison to the shelves of books on African Americans and even more on the subject of Jewish history.

Some of this is a function of the local market. Jewish people read a lot of books and have many authors. There is a large Black community in NYC, but much of it is West Indian and African in origin. However, it is disappointing that a better selection of books was not available at such a fine establishment.

I went looking for the works of Kenneth Roberts and struck out. I am somewhat perplexed by the lack of military history books on the subject of the Oriskany battle. It is a very interesting story that most of us should be more familiar with. The half Oneida Patriot Thomas Spencer gave his life in Battle. Oneida Hon Yerry and his wife Two Kettles Together fought bravely and helped the patriots immeasurably.

Will be out for a while

Tonight I am at a charity fundraiser for the Guyanese community. I usually have a good time and
celebrate with good friends. The food is usually quite good. Interestingly, when I am with the Tranquil Sea I only eat poultry or fish out of respect. The locals eat as their religious whims or tastes dictate. In general Hindus like those who are Kosher or even Halal are not obnoxious as your bombastic vegans are.

Tomorrow, I will be spending some more time with the Tranquil Sea and the beloved Sprite. My time with her is fun even if I am just working in the garden or shopping. I am lucky that her interests in fine art are subjects that I have a passing knowledge in. Of course she likes Renoir better than Chardin as well. The only person who seems to have the other taste is Poultry.

On Sunday I will be at a barbecue with Drummaster and I might even drive my own car. I am looking at an 8 cylinder Impala with a Guyanese community friend. I do not drive much, but an Impala is a pleasure.

I also will be celebrating Guyana independence day in Queens later this month.

One thing I want to impart is that while reading the history of New York State from the 1750 to 1790 era one fails to grasp the terrain. Apparently this was also lost on the Brittish who thought that a trip down the Champlain Valley was a breeze. The area even today has deep forests that are by no means a walk in the Park. Adirondack Park which I regularly crossed is beautiful to look at but not easy to cross on foot. There is ample water and some swamps. It is not exactly easier on the Vermont side either. One can use Champlain and Lake George to go North and South until the Hudson River. The Indians were well aware of what rivers went where and commuted great distances.

The Government Cracks Down

It was fairly obvious that the Times Square Bomber had been receiving money from abroad. The USA needs to crack down on money laundering. In general this is one of the few areas of law enforcement that is cost effective.

The bomber quit his job makes multiple trips abroad and cash purchases. This situation seems fairly obvious, but now the hard part is getting people to talk.

About Homosexuality and Kagan

I could care less if this person is or is not gay. She is a first rate political hack academic with the usual idiocy. The policy of banning the military from recruiting on campus for its policy on gays
tells us about the real Kagan. Kagan's far left authoritarian ends justified the means approach denied the Army its right to recruit and present opportunities to graduates. Of course if the Army were to refuse to hire students who had attended the university of Bill Ayers Kagan would correctly see this as a violation of liberty.

Kagan is within her right to denounce the policy or any policy she deems worthy. However, she is
not free to deny others the opportunity to listen to career opportunities. This is especially loathsome given the wasted money spent by the government on loans and research grants in higher education. Sorry, but tax payer money should not subsidize the employment of Marxists
in Sociology or Anthropology departments.

Random

In the news a Grey Whale was spotted off the coast of Israel in the Mediterranean where they have never been previously cited. Perhaps this is the recently unemployed Stalinist Galloway on his way to promote himself with endless photo ops in Gaza. Has anyone seen Curious George and this Grey Whale in the same place.

Another headline proclaims German people asking themselves if they are the Schmucks of Europe for bailing out Greece. The word Schmuck is Yiddish and not likely to be used by Germans. Then again ebonics sometimes crosses over into the larger culture in America. The words dis and homey are understood by many due to their usage in popular culture or the ordinary life experiences of people. Perhaps the Editrix will enlighten us on if that term is used. I am surprised how non-Jewish lawyers not even born in NYC grasp the local jargon that is sprinkled with Yiddish, Spanglish, Ebonics, West Indian, Italian and all types of trade lingo. A person asked me if I went to Oklahoma University because of a pennant in my office. I told her think Borscht Belt and what the letters OU means to Jews in NYC. Everyone laughed including
the lawyer who realized OU stands for Orthodox Union and is a local symbol of that is placed on foods permissible for Jews to eat.

Does a photo of a woman playing softball infer she is a lesbian???? This issue with the Supreme Court nominee is rather strange. The applicant may or may not be a lesbian but playing softball
does not point anywhere. This is the lamest stereotype of them all. I have known many lesbians and some are indeed masculine and others are not. They have varied interests and are unremarkable in many respects holding regular jobs and leading ordinary lives. We know for a fact that some female athletes are gay, but others are not. Perhaps the next story will have her repairing office equipment therefore...... some of us have too much free time.

What is going on in China with all the violence against children being perpetrated by adults?

Sidetrip

I am going to attempt to take a side trip to the Native American Museum in lower Manhattan. The period of the Revolutionary War and Indians is interesting and hopefully some books written by non Marxists on the Abenaki, Stockbridge and Oneida will be available.

I am a fan of the introduction to the movies on TNT. Often the introduction is more interesting than the movie. In the case of Drums Along the Mohawk the film really butchered the book by Edmonds. The book focused on the lives of the women and the Battle of Oriskany. The film lacked the substance entirely.

The author, Edmonds, did an excellent job but should have added more emphasis to the Oneida who were among the heroes of the Battle of Oriskany. Where the critic is decidedly wrong is that
the lives of the settlers were decidedly more complex than the cartoon images. Iroquois did invade the lands of other tribes. There were a surprising number of mixed race people including many famous people.

What gets lost in the rhetoric was the real Joeseph Brandt was an opportunist who had extensive family connections to the crown. His legacy is mixed at best as his actions did cause reprisals by the colonists. The abuse of Indians by the British created much ill will. Many of the leaders urged
their followers to stay out of European Wars. He was a skilled fighter, but his actions had dire consequences. He did secure land grants in Canada for his service.

What gets lost in the story is that Native Americans were not passive people. They were every bit as opportunistic as the settlers around them. All sides had heroes, ordinary opportunists, rouges and just ordinary people farming or practicing a craft.

The Obama Paradox

As the media is in worship mode the actions of the Obama administration face no scrutiny. In the coming days you will hear much rhetoric about Pakistan. In an ideal world Obama reads Pakistan
the riot act and they act force ably.

However, Obama's incompetence and stupidity has cost us our best ally in this front. Pakistan should be told point blank to get its act together or face the consequences. If it can control its territory and permits terrorist activity from its soil than it is time for action. India should be encouraged to invade and take additional territory. The USA should cross the border as it deems prudent.

However, as the media fails to hold this administration accountable look for some odd policies from local government. We did have wire tapping in the Clintoon administration that only becomes problematic when continued under Bush.

The comments about X Boxes by Obama show how out of touch he is with real America. Had Bush said them he would be lampooned as a country club snob. In Obama's case this is faculty
lounge Marxist dementia.

Beamish in 12

Fire Ron Gochez and the morons that hired him

You Tube is a wonderful tool. It makes Communist lies refutable with a few minutes of viewing.
There is a wonderful video of a mostly insane Communist talking smack about a racial revolution in
solidarity with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Ron Gochez illustrates why Communists should not be employed in any educational facility. They can not be trusted to do their job without spreading their vile pseudo religion to impressionable youths. His actions are a form of child abuse sanctioned by the board of education in LA. The job of a teacher is to educate and it is apparent that this dullard has been indoctrinating students.

In addition this loon is also a surprise rabid antisemite who likes to write about Jewish control of the media. Several letters to the Daily Aztec complain about his racism.

The Governor needs to explain how this lunatic was hired. Those who allowed this moron in front of a classroom need to be held accountable and terminated. If his views are reflective of the staff than the school needs to be closed. There is no place in education for KKK, Nazis or Commies brainwashing kids. Educators have been terminated for far less than the call for criminal activity.

While the media talks about imagined terrorists at Tea Party events, it ignores criminal incitement from paid civil servants.

Fire Gochez yesterday.

Around the Globe

Communist Drug Impaired Fake Rabbi Lerner whines about alleged vandalism of his home. Leave it to a publicity seeking clown with a history of violent activity to cry to the police about stickers.
More comedic is the rather clownish attempt to blame this on Alan Dershowitz. Real Jews ( not commies) have more than ample reason to loathe Lerner. Hillary Clintoon found out how unpopular he is in NYC and dropped him in seconds when she ran for Senate. Perhaps this clown should talk to the Venezuelan Jewish refugees about his master Chavez for an example of real incitement against Jews. Of course Lerner is silent about real Jews being persecuted yet again by Commies.

There is an interesting article in FPM about Communists terrorists and Anarchists being behind the violence in Greece. The police should be encouraged to shoot violent protester. There was an interesting article about an actual dog that does seem to attend most of these anarchist riots in Greece. What was left out of the article was that the dog probably has the highest IQ in any grouping of anarchists.

The Times Square bomber is singing up a storm. We may learn how closely the Pakistani Intelligence Operatives were to the Mumbai attackers. If Pakistan refuses to hand over the criminals India should invade Pakistan and the USA should fully support India. India should take territory and keep it as compensation for Pakistan's support for terror. This should also serve as a wake up call to Chavez over his support for FARC.

Failed English politician Galloway want to make Michael Moore type of films about the Pseudostinians in Gaza. It is ironic given the rants about Zionist media that he would run to Hollywierd that is alleged by commies to be Joooish controlled. As for his films they would likely be on a par with the classic Reefer Madness without the humor.

On this site we have the bird brained Duck worried about Tea Party terrorists when yet another Islamic radical has been caught again. We will let commies know when there is a credible story
that might fit the bill. Where would terrorist motivated from the right target? A faculty lounge in the social sciences at Tufts ???? An Aacorn office ???? The idea is as inane as the Duck himself.

Lastly, Jewish support for Obama has eroded fast. I am wondering how Chuck Schumer is going to deal with this on the campaign. He will be re-elected with ease, but it will be very interesting to watch if he distances himself from the Obama- Hillary Clintoon Israel bashing administration.

America deserves the best in 2012 Vote for Beamish. Communism goes great with tar and feathers. Break out some country music from anyone other than our very own Glenn Camel and apply them on commies near you.

Mr. Beamish may be correct

It now appears that the Times Square Bomber was actively blogging on terrorist websites and entered the USA with $80,000 dollars. Both of which would have been picked up under routine scrutiny. In fact according to blogs the investigations were closed and the information was removed from routine law enforcement databases.

Lets start with profiling what is and what is not.

It is okay to ask a person if they are a commie. If a person is identified as a commie than they are exponentially more likely to be prone to criminal activity such as treason and terrorism. Person X is a commie and has purchased explosives. The crime pattern exists and deserves immediate scrutiny. Now asking a commie prolonged questions involving explosives and weapons without evidence that this commie had purchased explosives or firearms would be profiling.

Marxist Moronics No Meat Blame the Butcher

Narcoterrorist Hugo Chavez continues to ruin the economy of his crack den empire. Inflation is now at 30% and there is a shortage of meat. The cocaine communist placed rigid price controls on butchers and in a shocking development ( sarcasm) there is no meat available. Crime is out of control and professionals and businessmen are headed for the exit. This is actually good for America as most of the professionals end up in the United States.

Of course Chavez's American apologists will make more excuses.

There should be an immediate investigation into payments by Chavez to Americans. Those who have received compensation need to register as foreign agents or face denaturalization.

Apologies to Stephen Schwartz for this un PC rant

I am starting to believe that many factors are in combination fueling the growth of antiamerican terrorism by Muslims in the USA. The recent culprits are spoiled brats ala Bill "Little Lord Fauntleroy" Ayers and are in no definition oppressed. Plenty of people are oppressed without committing treasonous acts of gratuitous violence. Most of these new criminals have exposure to elite western educations and have likely been spoon fed victimology by Marxists who want to fuel the fires for their own needs.

Certainly there is also an increase in this in rough financial times when people are struggling to find work and make ends meet. Many of those who act out also have deep psychological problems like the FT Hood shooter who couldn't buy a date. He was off topic in University assignments talking about political stuff unrelated to his class work. His likely left of center professors should have failed him for not completing his assignments. He also did try to resign from the military and was prevented.

It is not PC to state that gainfully employed folks are less apt to criminal acts of terrorism. However, our refusal to deal with the mental health aspects is an American citizen error. It is becoming clearer that many terrorists are unbalanced and turn to violent political opportunists
who abuse mentally unstable people. Perhaps it is not PC to say that folks who ask disturbed people to carry out terrorist acts are preying on the disabled.

Maybe I am a Liberal but the Ends do Not Justify the Means

I am a tad uncomfortable with going after the families of terrorists in order to get them to talk.
Maybe, I belong to another era where law enforcement officers acted with honor. Even the mafia
traditionally left parents alone.

There is a difference between Americans and Commies like the Duck and Blood crazed terrorists.
We are men of law, while the hypocritical Marxist Duck defends show trials and rationalizes wholesale crimes against humanity. To the Duck and the blood crazed Jihadi the ends Justify the means.

I understand that terrorism is asymmetrical warfare and quite different from crime. Yet the government would never have threatened to audit the tax returns of the parents of Bill Ayers and Dorn. That tactic would not have worked in the case of commie criminals anyway.

If the family is involved with the crime by all means do what must be done. However, if there is no evidence of wrong doing than let us behave like people of law and liberty.

The Passion of the Poultry

The Duck deludes himself into thinking he is smarter than the rest of us. However, there are times when he makes my job easy.

On a post discussing whether the USA should denaturalize people who belong to terrorist groups
that seek to kill Americans. The Ducks singles out an ally of the United States and the world's only Jewish state. He singles out Israel and wants to know why the bill doesn't seek to denaturalize US citizens who serve in the Israeli Defense Forces.

Actually, the USA should denaturalize people who take subsidized vacations from the Narco Terrorist State of Venezuela. The fact that Ducky can not differentiate between an ally of the USA and a criminal state run by a crack addicted criminal imbecile is revealing.

Of course when we satirize the Duck as a mindless Antisemite he gets upset. When the mood hits me I will pen episode three of All in the Beakerkin Family. I will pen an episode where Rav Roov visits.

Bloomberg is right on this one.

As it is apparent that NYC is the top target Mayor Bloomberg has asked for increased funding for anti-terrorism technology. The NYPD has done a great job, but we have also been very lucky in many cases. Sooner or later the luck runs out. We have to remain vigilant. There are those who blame Obama for the increased acts of terror. This is a reach as terrorists are opportunists who use whatever rationale suits their agenda.

Lieberman to the rescue

Joe Lieberman is a senator whom the Duck refers to as the senator from Tel Aviv. This is typical
Marxist Jooooo hatred claiming Bad Joooooos are guilty of dual loyalty if they support Israel. Of course saying this about other people who support their country of origin are not treated similarly.

A new bill sponsored by Lieberman would remove the citizenship of members of foreign terrorist groups captured abroad. This will make things much easier on the government. So if a US citizen who is a member of Al Queda is captured abroad they go straight to military trials.

Well done

All in the Beakerkin Family Episode 2

The Mighty Beakerkin Art Players present another episode of All in the Beakerkin Family

Beakerkin: You don't have to fix up the house it is only my army buddies coming over.
TMW: But they are guest.
Beakerkin: They have been here dozen's of times.
Ducky: Yeah just a bunch of patriotic geezers remembering killing children and committing war crimes. Hey how many kids did you kill in Nam?
Beakerkin: Hmmm I could come out of retirement and.....
TMW: Now Beaky, he's your son in law...
Beakerkin: Are you trying to discourage me?
Ducky: Uh I better run I think I hear the Communist Bookmobile.
TMW: Now Beaky you scared the hell out of Ducky. I have never seen him run so fast

Warren: Hey Beaky you old nut have you been behaving.
Beakerkin: That will be the day.
Justin: Did that lazy son in law get a job.
Beakerkin: That will be the day.
TMW: Beaky he is just needs to finish his studies of whatever it is that he is studying and gives me a headache trying to explain.
Justin: What was he studying anyway?
Beakerkin: How to exploit the working man by changing your major six times. Of course none of the stuff he studies leads to gainful employment.
Oh no
Warren: Who is coming up.
Beakerkin: It is that nut Yeagley next door and the Duck is running for his life
TMW: Dinner is ready oh Ducky is back just in time

Yeagley: I am talking about the turkey
Beakerkin: He's married to my daughter.
(Evertone laughs)
TMW: Why don't you join us.
Beakerkin; Can anything else possibly go wrong. Why is it every time I sit down to eat the whole world comes into this house. Look that senile fool is at the door.
TMW: Beaky try to be a good host.
GMS: Beak, I have been asked by your neighbors to approach you about dealing with the new threat to the neighborhood. It appears an Indian has moved next door. We don't want our property values ruined by some curry eating foreigners.
Beakerkin: Listen here you idiot. The person who bought the house next door is not that kind of Indian. The person is a Native American.
GMS: That is worse he is probably a pagan savage drunk who got kicked of the reservation.
Yeagley: Actually, I am an PHD with a degree in divinity and attend church every week. I am a Comanche.
Beakerkin: Listen here you. Don't come into my house and start insulting the guests.
Justin:Beak relax stupidity is not contagious.
GMS: I always knew you were a fake patriot. You are sitting at the table with a communist homo
foreigner.
TMW: BEAKY remember your blood pressure.
Beakerkin: Listen here you idiot. I served my country in Nam killing Commies and then as a federal officer while you were scratching your butt. You don't own America.
Ducky: Bigotry is as American as Apple Pie.
Whole Room: Shut up Duck.
GMS;Look at him he's a foreigner and a homo. The boys are gathering to protest and burn a cross.
Beakerkin: Ah not the KKK crapola again. This man's ancestors were here long before yours. You invaded his land killed his game and sold him cheap alcohol.
GMS: The man said he was a communist.
Beakerkin: Commanche you idiot. It is a tribe in Texas and Oklahoma and has nothing to do with bug eyed idiots.
Ducky: Have you McCartyhite goons ever read Marx or watched the movie Reds.
GMS: Well he is still a member of that gay singing group. The one that sang In The Navy.
Beakerkin: No he was never in the Village People and he is wearing traditional clothes.
Yeagley: I admire you trying to protect your area from Negros and trying to preserve Christian values from assault from Communist homos.
Justin: What do you know about America you or Christ you loon. I served in Vietnam as a Chaplain and as a gay man.
Yeagley: A Sodomite we must defend our civilization. You white people need a reservation to protect your culture from Communist homos. Can you spare a white sheet and pillow cases.
TMW: Sure here you go....
Beakerkin: Oh why did you do that .
TMW: It was those cheap polyester sheets Ducky bought me for mothers day.
Warren: A KKK clown wearing polyester bedsheets is kind of funny.
Ducky: There is nothing funny about the KKK. They killed..
Justin: Far less people than you commies where did Beak go
TMW: Beaky don't do it. You are too old for that and think of your blood pressure.
Beakerkin: I didn't serve my country for KKK clowns to make a mockery of the country I love and burn a cross on my lawn.
Warren: Did you see what that crazy idiot is doing he's getting the KKK to dance with produce and sing "Some Enchanted Evening"
Justin: This is really more comedic than evil. Beaky calm down ...
Beakerkin: The produce he's dancing with came from my yard.
Justin:You can't take on fifty men by yourself.
Beakerkin: I'll take Ducky's jawbone.
Ducky: More zionist propaganda in the Bible that led to Rambo films
Beakerkin: Out of my way.....
TMW: Its horrible
Justin: I have never heard screams like that come from a human
TMW: Oh my goodness. God have mercy
Warren; God would have mercy. But Mr. B and Beakerambo have none. Look at those KKK clowns run.
Beakerkin: I almost feel sorry for them.... Not. Look Mr. B just gave an atomic wedgie to the leader and Beakerambo just broke a 2x4 over the head of another. Now they are running for their lives.
Justin: What is that idiot Duck doing.
TMW: It looks like he's making jiffy pop popcorn off the burning cross.
Mr. B. : Just another days work in the office. Kicked some KKK ass and got a huge appetite. Beakerambo next time bring tar and feather.
Mr B: Break out the Beer and crank up the Back in Black Album.
Beakerkin: Mr B. embodies the best of American values.
Ducky: Like cheap violence, gratuitous use of domestic beer and dreadful taste in music.
Mr B. : One more wedgie Beakerambo...
Ducky: Hey you mindless brute quit grabbing the Fruit of the Loom...Ahhhh
Beakerkin: As stated Mr B embodies the best of America break out the Budweiser and the John Wayne DVD's
Ducky: Can't you brutes watch Bergman.

Tune in Next week to another episode of all in the Beakerkin family with our special guest Rav Roov.

All in the Beakerkin Family

Now we take you to some bad satire the mighty Beakerkin Arts players spoofs a familiar TV show

Ducky: The whole world can not have peace because of them Joooooz
Beakerkin: Hey Duckhead how about making peace in this house and finding a job and stop eating me out of house and home.
Ducky: The economy is a mess because of the Likudnik wars and the noecon...
TMW: Now Beaky, don't be cheap with the food. Ducky is a growing boy.
Beakerkin; Yeah growing fat off of my hard labor and having sex with my daughter in our own house.
Ducky: Socialism works.
Beakerkin: I am the only one working while you are studying Arabian doodling and watching idiotic foreign films.
TMW: Now Beaky Duckhead and our daughter are married.
Ducky: We even got married in a church.
Beakerkin: Don't remind me.
TMW: How do you think we are going to get grandkids...
Beakerkin: Great more mouths to feed and I am the only one working.
Anything else can go wrong
TMW: Be nice our new neighbor has moved in
Ducky: You should be nice to Yeagley after all you stole his land raped his women.
Beakerkin: I did nothing of the sort and the only person who is oversexed, over fed and under worked in this house is you.
Yeagley: What is this crap you placed in my box. I am not going to protest to Free Mummia. He's a hardened criminal.
Ducky: No he is a political activist ...
Yeagley: Shooting cops is not a form of political activity. You white people need to form your own reservations. Develop your own traditions and Ducky smoking pot is not a celebration of Comanche culture.
Beakerkin: Are you still doing that crap.
Ducky: So are you it was in yesterdays salad.
TMW: I thought you said that was organic herbs grown in Chernobyl farms.
Yeagley: Did you experience any visions.
Beakerkin: Yes my vision was that you are going to get an intelligent thought.
Yeagley: Is it my fault that the negro has polluted your blood lines.
Beakerkin: The only person who is polluting my blood lines is the same person who is eating me out of house and home.
Yeagley: So the you support Duckhead and he has sex with your daughter.
Ducky: Beaky just doesn't get how important social justice is. The Jews are running the country on behalf of their colonial state you as an Indian should grasp that.
Yeagley: What do you know about history. The Arabs are colonial invaders and the Jews are the Indians and God's people.
TMW: Look it is our nephew Beakerambo. He is back from Hollywood after shooting another B team movie with Mr. Beamish.
Ducky: The man is exploiting hatred of Muslims and using his image to hawk junk food to make kids obese.
Yeagley: I do not see this family resemblence between you and Beakerambo is he the product of miscegenation.
Beakerkin: What is with everyone in this house talking about sex all day.
TMW: Now Beaky sex is part of life.
Beakerkin: So is passing gas but you don't hear me talking about it.
Ducky: All this passing gas is burning a hole in the Ozone layer.
Beakerkin: Listen here you. The worst culprit is you with that Tofu.
TMW: Now be polite to Beakerambo. Why did you dump that nice Lindsay Lohan girl.
BR: Me mii meeep Skank.
Yeagley: What did he just say?
Ducky: The woman is an alcoholic who sleeps around.
TMW. Oh my.....Well at least he brought lunch
Ducky: Zionist Salami, Pumpernickel bread and chopped liver is a heart attack.
Yeagley: I will take his share.
Beakerkin: Will you look at those two eating. I haven't seen hands move like that since he took me to that awful martial arts film Spank the Monkey Choke the Chicken.
Ducky: That is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon you knave.
Beakerkin: This is just great I didn't even get a slice of bread. I am the only one working in this house and I don't even get a decent meal and this lazy slob is screwing my daughter.
Ducky: Socialism is great.

Tune in next week to All in the Beakerkin Family with our special guest Justin

Now that the arrest has been made

The Duck was sooooo worried that we might be rushing things when we stated that this latest bomber is either a Muslim Radical, Commie or Anarchist. However, these groups make up 90%
of terrorism on the planet. While the left cries about potential terrorism from "Tea Party" types it ignores the actual proven source of terrorism.

Sorry, but suspending common sense and logic is just a bit much.

Since this latest suspect is a naturalized citizen, he should be tried for treason and executed if found guilty. If he co-operates and agrees to be denaturalized life in prison may be an option.

Kudos to Pagan Temple

The Pagan has illustrated that either Dr. Yeagley is insane or doing stand up comedy. What better way to illustrate the inane conspiracy mindset than to make an even more insane conspiracy.
The only thing missing is that Yeagley did not deduce the comment was well written satire.

You can't make this stuff up.

Life's simple pleasure

The standard view is that summer vacation is for the kids. I am looking to spending some quality time with the Sprite at Coney Island and the Bronx Zoo. School is out and I look forward to creating some lasting memories. I really am still not at 100%, but when the Sprite complained that I had been away for a while I was motivated. Of course her crazy Maltese is all over me long before I get into the house.

The local restaurants serve an unusual style of Chinese food not seen elsewhere. It is a West Indian variation of the theme that tastes slightly different and has much more poultry and curry dishes.I still like my Texmati rice better than the Basmati rice but I can not tell the difference when it is in a meal.

A few more weeks I should have my car returned from Drummaster. He is graduating college and is working in the public defenders office. In a former time I would be mortified. Yet in my current job I see the good work that they sometimes do quietly. Oddly a long forgotten case in my office involving legal aid was brought to my attention. I took care of a silly case that had been
going back and forth since 1979. I used a long forgotten precedent and the folks at legal aid thanked me and were happy to get the person out of the system. In general with the exception of the Holocaust Museum shooter senior citizens are not a danger to society.

Drummaster wants to do investigations of some sort. He is following a familiar example of a relative who journeyed through a few careers before settling down.

Off His Rocker and out to Lunch

In a rant that is probably better suited to the comedy market the failed pundit accuses the UK of terrorism due to the oil leak in the Gulf. The notion that Oil Companies make a profit extracting oil and not spilling it all over the place must have eluded the demented pundit. Industrial accidents are part and parcel of our world and the best we can do is learn from them and make corrections.

In continuing his incoherent rant against the UK for its history against Indians. In general the subject is more complicated. Indians, French, English and Americans all acted in self interest. All committed atrocities against each other. The Indians often allied with the Europeans to get back at rival tribes. The tribes often took sides in external conflicts like the wars between France and England and the Colonies. The notion that the tribes were just simply minding their business is not accurate. This does not diminish the nature of the crimes committed against Indians or the need to live up to treaties. However, the notion of Indians acting in their own self interest or sometimes being cruel to fellow Indians gets lost in the narrative.

The UK did commit some serious crimes against Indians. However, there were times that they looked to the UK for protection. The history of this era is just too complex to be reduced into
cartoon form. Missionaries sometimes protected their flock, but there were a few bad ones as well. The history of the era needs more scrutiny than allowed by our Marxist University clowns
and Hollywood movies of the fifties.

Finally some sanity from the Jewish community

There is a move by some Jewish charities to eliminate the funding for so called Jewish groups critical of Israel. Predictably fake Rabbi Michael LSD Lerner is crying. Sorry, but Communists have masqueraded as Jews for a some time. This game does not fool actual Jews who practice the religion. It does fool idiots like Hillary Clintoon who found out how unpopular Rabbi LSD is when she ran for Senate in NYC and dropped him quickly.

Lerner when not doing drugs can be found at every anti semitic so called peace protest and seeking media attention. His most recent foray was to offer his synagogue as a venue for the infamous loon Goldstoned whose popularity in his home congregation was zero. Goldstoned grandchild was having a bar mitzvah and protesters were going to protest his presence. The Rabbi of the congregation in South Africa ( not to be confused with the drug addict fake Lerner),
did work with the protesters to avoid a scene at the bar mitzvah. This did not stop the fake Rabbis and Lerner from crying victim.

The Forward points out that three of the four dead students at Kent State were Jewish. The article is surprisingly balanced and does point out the actual criminal activity of the communist protesters.Unfortunately, those who were killed were not the ones who threw objects at the National Guard. Left unsaid is how unpopular the communist protesters were with the general population of the USA. The "hard hat riots" was a direct response of actual workers fed up with
communist lawlessness. The myth that the nation endorsed the protesters is a sheer fable. It is no accident that children of the 80's and 90's turned the Vietnam Veteran into the hero. Apocalypse Now, Tour of Duty and good old Forrest Gump beating the crap out of Commie protesters are glipses of how the younger generation viewed things.

For Those Who Have Forgotten

In NYC this morning a crude explosive device was found in a car and did not detonate. We are still
subject to attack by idiot who act in the name of Allah. This does not infer that every Muslim is a terrorist. However, to ignore a pattern that happens over and over again is foolish.

Of course there is the possibility that this is not Islamic terrorism. Despite the media cries about disaffected right wingers terrorism is almost always Muslim or Communist in nature. The media drones on about Tea Party hatred while ignoring the most blatant causes of terrorism

In the NYT

Yet another person is accused of working with Al Queda. The suspect is not a Swedish CPA who traveled to Cancun. The USA needs to start trying these types for treason and using capital punishment. The only person who appears to have gotten capital punishment was McVeigh.
Of course these Al Queda types should point to Commie Bill Ayers and ask for professorships.

The time to deal swiftly with terrorists is 40 years over due.

Anyone can be a racist

I guess the part that is difficult to accept from the days at the other site is of some Native Americans being racist. I have been in NYC long enough to see plenty of Black and some White racism. Much of the Black racism is thinly disguised Marxism and it flies under the radar as "Black Liberation theology" ala Pastor Wright.

Many people have either one side of the coin or the other when dealing with Native Americans. Either they are the all knowing wise men or the brave warrior. Yet neither view is really productive and even the tribal casinos doesn't really convey an image to most. Certainly Indian CPAs, Carpenters and Lawyers exist. Maybe the time for true progress will come when one can think of Indians as just the oldest residents of the block.

It is important to own up to our historic treaties and deal with our historic wrongs. That being said as those wrongs are evil in American history they remain evil when done by Marxists in Latin America. When those who want to lecture us about our history sanction identical crimes
or support regimes that commit these crimes they deserve the rhetorical back of the hand.

None of this nor the fact that someone with a few degrees can be so painfully wrong about America, Race, Theology and History. When one is beholden to warped ideas usually Marx or racial kook theories one can not give rational analysis. Thus it does not surprise me to see how central deception was to Communists and the creation of international terrorism in today's FPM.
Nor should it shock us that Marxist activists would anoint themselves as saviors of the planet fake research and contrive global warming. Given the record of communist countries on the environment this is a warped joke at best.

The problem is not really with Native Americans as they have been themselves for hundreds of years. The problem of dualism is attributable to the romance of the noble savage myth. In reality this critique is more of a rejection of the present society than any genuine insight into Indians. Native American history should be respected and the treaties should be honored.

People can have different perspectives and views and this remains part of our process. Thus when Mr. B, AOW or myself write we are writing from the perspective of American Patriotism.
When the Duck writes his words are a reflection of a mindless death cult. Americanism is an open
table to all those who believe in the concepts of the founding fathers, respect others, respect private property and are not beholden to hostile foreign ideaologies. In the case of the Duck he is an apologist for an idea that has been proven deadly in every application, seeks the destruction of the USA and has no respect for private property or individual rights. In the case of the failed pundit he has zero clue about what it means to be a patriot or Christian.

It is important to know that we do not need idiots to tell us about how to live with people from different cultures. Americans do this each and every day and have done so since our founding. We welcome those who come legally and obey our laws and pay taxes. Those who wish to create
world socialism, califates or racial seperatist states would do all of us a favor if they headed for the exit. Commies like Madea Benjamin tried to live in Cuba but were to spoiled to live in the statist tyranny they support.

What did Gordon Brown say that surprised you

I am quite amused at the reaction of those who were surprised over the comments of Brown and even Obama about God and guns. The truth is those on the left with rare exception are self righteous and arrogant. Those moments are reflective of how they think.

We see these moments on this blog when the bombastic Duck reveals some narrow minded bigotry aimed at those who enjoy Metal music, popular films like Smokey and the Bandit and enjoy Renoir.
Sorry, but I would rather look at Renoir than go abroad to look at doodling in Saudi Arabia.

Those on the left live a lie that they are reflective of the people. In reality they think those who work for a living and do not go to cocktail parties need their betters to think for them.

Lets do a simple man of the people bit

1) What beverage of choice is with your dinner

A) A Beer B) Kool Aide C) Soda/ Seltzer D) The appropriate Wine E) Bottled Water

2) Can you name the starters on your local baseball, football and Basketball Team

3) Do you consider Cirque de Solelil entertainment?

4) Do you think taxing gas, soda, beer and cigarettes is an appropriate societal function.

5) Do you think tax payer money should go to the arts?

6) Is immigration a right or a privilege?

7) Is your car older than three years old and do you take public transportation?

8) Should Unions stick to workplace issues?

9) Is consumer choice a bad thing?

10) When people disagree with you are they incapable of knowing what is best for them.

1) I have a diet soda with my meals. Lately I am into Seltzer or diet Ginger ale. If you are drinking Kool Aide you either have a lot of kids or are stretching the food budget. Beware of Marxists serving Kool Aide. Jim Jones is a role model to many far left types.

2) Yes. I am familiar with the players on my local sports teams.

3) This is probably a far left substitute for water boarding. Extra credit for anyone who has absolutely no idea what Cirque de Soleil is.

4) Regressive taxation is an abomination and an assault on working people devised by lefties who
are obnoxious. Don't tell a woman what to do with her body if she wants to have an abortion, but tax the crap out of her is she wants a beer and a smoke.

5) Only for serious artist exhibitions at Museums. The Chardin or Renoir exhibits are fine, but narco artists for Hugo or Pseudostine are not.

6) Immigration policy is determined by the American people.

7) Yes and yes.

8) Yes especially in a bad economy.

9) No I am happy with 200 varieties of chips. I had a rough time finding dried fruit at the sundry
shop and had to settle for a small bag of cashews.

10) No. This thought is arrogant Statism and typical of Marxist morons.

The Gay Obsession of the Duck

We have this amazing odd obsession of the Duck with trying to out people who are closeted. The Duck cries when people do the same to him. As a friiend of this blog who is gay stated one only knows if someone is gay two ways if they tell you or they slept with you. Of course the Duck can kindly let us know how he knows the person in question is gay. Does the Duck posses "gaydar" that works over the internet or is he hanging around with the idiots at a psychic friends hot line.

Ok the person in question is a racist. This must be amusing as the Duck is a certified anti-semite and apologist for every Communist regime on the planet. Moreover, contrary to his flights of fancy Nazis were a leftist phenomena and there is plenty of anti-Capitalist rhetoric in Hitlers speeches. Hitler allied with Communism and then turned on his allies because he perceived Bolshevism and Capitalism as "Jewish". Leave it for a person who is a communist sympathizer and a clear anti Semite to point the finger at someone else.

Lets go over this again. Who defended a nation quarinting AIDS patients? Who praised a health care system that historically placed gays in mental hospital and practiced lobotomies long after
the practice was dropped in the West. The reason these practices stopped is that Castro's daughter got involved. Too many of Casrto's apologists were being ridiculed over these barbaric practices condoned by folks like the Duck.

The amount of gays placed in mental hospitals by Pat Ronertson 0. Sorry, but the writings of the usual suspects show zero evidence of any comments about the Castro policies or the persecution of gays in Zimbabwe. There is also zero comment about the fate of gays living under Shariah. The grand alliance of Jew haters must make sacrifices.

Immigration Bigotry???

There is much talk about immigration and bigotry ranging from Arizona to the Comments in the UK.

Lets start off with that placing immigration policy off the table itself leaves room for fringe groups like the KKK and to a lesser extent the BNP room to breathe. The problem with mainstream parties is that they become addicted to getting votes. They make the political calculation that showering benefits on people boosts their numbers.

Another problem is that every action has unintended consequences. The VAWA Act had some very serious and noble goals. Nobody should be forced into remaining in a domestic violence situation for acquiring residence. I met lawyers who specialize in this area the other day and I can say their integrity and zeal is a credit to the profession. Yet even in an area as serious as this there does remain some fraudulent cases.

The problems in the area of asylum and refugee cases are even more pronounced. Few people would have issue with allowing immigration of people who are persecuted like Christians in the Middle East and Tibetans. Over time this lofty program has come to add Chinese Family Planning as well as female genital mutilation. Legitimate questions if these issues really fit the intended purpose of the plan are not bigoted.

The problem with law in general is incrementalism. Nobody in their right mind should ever criticize the intended goals of programs like VAWA and the Asylum law. Protecting mostly women and children as well as persecuted minorities is something all of us should agree is a societal goal. Yet the reality is that every noble action does produce a counter action of shady cases and scammers. I also want to make clear that the legal arena is open to novel ideas. At a certain point the argument will be made that women in the USA whose husbands force them into polygamous unions or accept a second wife are also covered.

Placing the subject of immigration policy off the table for discussion creates bigotry. The obviously flawed system allows marginal types from the KKK to LARAZA breathing room.
We are going to get some type of immigration reform. The question is can Obama do it now while he has a stronger hand or later with a weaker hand. The case can be made that after the health care debacle we want Obama to be weakened so a better bill will be passed.

Defiance

I am not amused at the class warfare games of blaming Goldman Sachs and crying about the Arizona immigration law. The desperation of the Obama administration knows no bounds. Rather
than grasp that America wants limited government he is trying to be Hugo Chavez lite.

Payback is in November. Flush Obama and his Marxist minions.

Laughing at Batty Ann and Yeagley

I want to point out reasonable people like myself and Ray can disagree on a topic without being disagreeable. Naiche and CM are always family and welcome wherever I hang my hat. I have been
away from Bad Eagle for months. The place is a colossal bore. Yeagley needs to tell Batty Ann to take her meds.

CM, Ray and the rest are welcome here and are viewed as friends by all.

Naiche writes above Batty Ann's IQ level and she needs to take out a decoder ring to decipher his writings. If you take every fifth letter multiply is by 27 and then divide it by twenty two and convert the numbers into Hebrew letters that correspond with the numbers and translate back into Hebrew you will find the secret message. Obviously her degrees are probably from thermometers placed where the sun doesn't shine. Naiche is a true genius.

Free Speech and You

I am not a fan of South Park. Nor do I purposely like sticking a middle finger up at Muslims or anyone else for no purpose. The writers of the show probably could have been more subtle and creative and got their point across.

That being said the first amendment covers speech that is sophomoric. The only speech that is not covered is criminal acts and treason. In the work place speech is also curtailed by many other factors. Unfortunately, these rules are frequently ignored or used to persecute people for office political reasons.

The creators of the show had a right to say their piece. Muslims had a right to oppose the episode by the same free speech protections. However, those who threatened physical violence should be arrested. Unfortunately, we have to endure odious speech as part of the deal. It would be nice to tar and feather Truthers, Holocaust Denniers, KKK types and commies, but doing so would make us too much like Hugo Chavez.

The truth is many Muslims are more upset over the reaction and free publicity the counter reactions had. Thia plays into odious stereotypes and in truth most Muslims who live here want to work and are too busy to worry about stupid cartoons.

Enjoying Instrumental Rock

I am enjoying the instrumental rock. The Vegan called it elevator music or the sound trak from Pulp Fiction. I like the sounds of the Ventures, Dick Dale, The Surfaris and Duane Eddy. Someone objected to some of this fare saying it is inbred red neck music. How this style of music which contains tracks by several Black artists became red neck music is beyond me. In some ways this music seems to flow from R&B directly.

I will be listening to the twangy guitar playing a personal favorite Tuxedo Junction. Tuxedo Junction was written by a friend from my younger days Erskine Hawkins. My father loved his music and was happy when I introduced him to Erskine. Erskine was a modern man and like many artists forgot he recorded certain numbers. In this case my father taped some cassettes and gave it back. Side B in those days were real fillers and forgetable. However, nothing Erskine played was ever forgettable if you heard him.

The Recovery

Some signs that a local recovery are in their earliest stages are visible. The recovery may only be relative to the steep drop. Many good people are out of work and are annoyed because Obama has no plan. I expect him to start a program to alter immigration. It will likely be an effort to court Hispanics because his numbers are low. The midterm elections will have a few nasty surprises but the Dems knew that Obama's mania about a stupid health care program would hurt them.

The Obama NYT assures us the recovery is under way. Of course the paper has never printed a single critical article about Obama.

He is just clueless, but better than Biden. Biden is even dumber than Col Bernie Sanders who walks around in a fog. One Sanders supporter said it best "Bernie cares, just at times we can't figure about what".

In other news academic clown and Marxist stooge Gnome Chimpanzee is worried about the far right in America. He compares the atmosphere in the USA to Nazi Germany only we are blaming Blacks and illegal aliens. We are still waiting for the millions dead from starvation in Afghanistan that he predicted. He has a great track record of calling eye witnesses to the Killing Fields liars based upon reports from obscure Communist publications in Australia and supporting Holocaust Denial. It is time for MIT to ask this clown to retire and he can spend the rest of his wasted life doing bong hits with Bill & Ted. Bill & Ted appear more reality based than Chomsky, despite being fictional characters.

Local Politics and the rest of us

I want to point out that most politics is local. We are in a new era that will be different from the past. There was a concerted effort by the far left to own local school boards and to claim ethnic authenticity of every group save the beloved Cuban American community.

The Tea Party Movement is a reawakening of the other America that was too busy working when Marxist hacks and their allies attempted to alter our country. The arrogance of Obama has created a back lash. I am not comfortable with the role of Ron Paul in the Tea Party Movement. However,after many up close encounters I am confident that the spirit of that movement does not knowingly endorse the lunacy of Ron Paul.

There are impostors in my community who pretend they are the voices of Jewish authenticity. They are not Jews and are actually followers of a death cult that infiltrates movements creates
fake groups and subverts anything it goes near. If communists want to participate they should do so without the creation of fake names like Code Pink. Let them call themselves the Marxist Ladies Senior Citizen without meds association. Of course if they ever did that many of their willing dupes would flee because they are not communists.

In a discussion about another group people conveyed that people they knew were not communists. This is almost certainly true, but communist use these alliances with non communists to further their own purposes. This is why if ever a commie would agree with me on
anything I do not allow my efforts to be tainted.

Most issues in our lives are strictly local. The Tea Party crowd needs to focus on local elections first. Taking our country back wont be easy, but it can and will be done.

Talking about Immigration Again

In general the public should know that benefits are determined by one agency USCIS and enforcement is managed by another. The situations vary according to locality, but man power is limited.

In an ideal world we would have a system that works. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system is also over burdened. At a certain point we need to reconsider sections of our current law.

1) We need to change the section of law that makes anyone born in the United States a citizen. This should only be awarded to children whose parents are here legally.

2) We also need to streamline the appeals. Cases going on ten years or more benefit nobody. The appeals can be made abroad.

3) Local judges need to be more aware of the immigration consequences of plea bargains. If more resources are needed to avoid this than make it available.

4) Denaturalization of certain criminals made easier

The Social Contract

I want to discuss immigration in abstract. In the days of my grand parents there was an implied social contract that was understood by immigrants. There was no need to state it as it was understood. What has changed is that we have an entire profession dominated by Marxist hacks who have decided to alter what has worked for decades. If you think this is a joke seriously head over to your local University and ask for a list of classes required for an MSW.

1) Immigration is not a right. It is an honor bestowed upon selected people who follow the rules as determined by the host country.

2) While here legally remember the following.
A) Obey all laws of the host country. If you want to have more than one wife please remain
where you are.
B) Remain gainfully employed. Do not abuse the social safety nets indeffinately.
C) Respect others. If you do not like gays, Jews, Blacks or whatever keep it to yourself.
D) Learn the local language and familiarize yourself with the local culture. You should not
expect services in your language. While you need not participate in local culture you should
have some familiarity. For example hunting and Maple Syrup production are part of the
local lives of residents of Northern VT. I respected the traditions of the locals and
supported their right to hunt, while not doing it for personal reasons.
E) Make sure your children attend school. Do not make excessive demands on the local school
district. There is nothing wrong with bringing your own lunch if need be. Above all try to
show respect for your teacher.
F) Show some loyalty for your host country. You do not need to agree with all of the policies
and if you are a citizen feel free to speak up. However, if you feel compelled to criminal
activity or treason kindly depart.
H) Cultural Issues do not trump public safety. If you want a passport or drivers license you
need to be photographed. If you wish to get services this is expected. It is OK to cover
your head or wear a hat for religious purposes. Covering the whole face is a public safety
issue. In rare instances such as burns a person may wear a mask for medical reasons.
These are the exceptions for obvious humanitarian reasons. I have not suffered from
seeing the face of Lynne Stewart whose face would be improved with a veil.

Most immigrants understand this. However, merely stating these things in this day and age is passe.

About Blogging

There are many subjects which we seldom veer into. I seldom delve into the subjects because they would interest only myself and probably bore the daylights out of the audience.

Here is the list of ten topics that I would like to do but have placed on the burner for one reason or another.

10) A joint blog post with Jams on the subject of immigration. This might be a unique post as Jams was a former immigration officer in the UK. It would be interesting to discuss the trade with a peer from another country.

9) A discussion of Education. Readers are to pick ten works of lit to assign students.

8) The Implied Social Contact of Immigration. What is it? Does it still apply?

7) Rape of the tax payer by lefties. The vulgarity of regressive taxation by people who claim to be for working families.

6) You're a guy and you screwed up. Surviving the dreaded if you don't know what you forgot than I am not telling you.

5) Slobs vs Snobs on film. This was inspired by Mr. Beamish's joke about having the Duck discuss
watching Smokey and the Bandit.

4) Reflections of life changing events. Long term readers know what events I write about that changed my perspective.

3) Guys behaving badly on road trips. Take a few Mountain Dews in the cooler ( I can not find Code Black) , an oversize hero, surfer instrumentals on the radio and what happens.

2) Did you ever tell an obnoxious tourist to shut up. Is this ever called for.

1) Things we need to demythologize.

Welcome brother Naiche

Naiche is another ex Bad Eagle poster who has dropped in on a few of the threads. His brand of acerbic wit are welcome wherever I hang my hat.

I am somewhat amused that Batty Ann thinks Naiche and I are the same person. Last I checked he is an Apache and this would likely make me more Native American than Batty Ann or the good Dr.
Or this would mean that Naiche has become Jewish from listening to Lenny Bruce. Perhaps listening to Alan Sherman records played backwards.....

We live in a funny age and one that is somewhat sad. I never thought I would ever see non White White Supremacists. Of course students of the history of the KKK vs Native Americans would be floored by this example.

My bio has remain unchanged. I remain an ordinary Jewish resident from NYC and the Editrix has my age exactly correct. AOW or TMW can attest that contrary to the delusions of some I am
not Black nor aged.

To those who remember Naiche a kind hello to an old friend is always welcome.

Who is okay with this????

If you have AIDS the government should quarantine you in a velvet cage. Most of you would guess
someone right wing. Of course many Americans including myself would oppose this.

It seems that the Duck is rationalizing the behavior of Cuba. For a person who regularly brings up the subject of gays in odd places this is strange. If gay rights are important to you than backing governments that use official sanction to persecute gays is fairly strange. The PA does persecute gays who flee to Israel for safety. Cuba did quarantine AIDS patients in what I term soft prisons.
Cuba did place gays in mental health facilities. The latter practice stopped only when folks started subjecting Cuban apologists to ridicule and Castro's daughter intervened.

As far as outing the Duck feels fine when calling Dr. Yeagley Gay Eagle". There is zero actual evidence that Yeagley is gay. This rumor started when a disturbed follower Batty Ann started to call Yeagley gay. Yeagley has stated he is not gay and as far as I am concerned it is a non issue. Of course the Duck objects when Mr. B speculates that he is gay. As our friend Justin says one never knows who is really gay unless they tell you or sleep with you. In and of itself we really make too much of a big deal over being gay. When someone says sick and twisted lifestyle I think of Red Sox and Dallas Cowboy fans. How can anyone root for Tony Romo who should be selling ribs next to TGIF. Abnormal and deviant describe people who think people like Noam Chomsky or Norman Finkola are fonts of wisdom.

Of course the Duck wants us to move heaven and earth at every goofy statement of Pat Robertson. Sorry, but he never placed gays in mental hospitals.

Just another mixed bag.

I have been spending time rethinking Native Americans and Colonials. The subject is interesting
because the reason many of us were attracted to Bad Eagle was the myth of its creator. All of us wanted to believe in a persons right of self definition. The concept I thought of when I went to Bad Eagle was a Native American embracing the ethos of the founding fathers and celebrating Americanism.

Most readers are aware of my ethnicity. Jewish people have their own history. I do not hold grudges against Germans, Russians or any other nation for its past abuse of my people. Germany made amends and moved ahead. It is important to remember the Holocaust and Nazism from a historical perspective. The left cheapens the real history of Nazism by comparing anyone they do not like from GW Bush and various Pope's to Hitler. It has been suggested that I hate Poland. I am not a Pole but it is apparent that some Polish and Ukranian blood is in my DNA and perhaps in the residents of Poland as well. My family fought for Poland in 1920, but as Jews fending off a great evil. They left to come to a country where they could worship as they chose and be a part of Americana. You could talk to the immigrant generation and they would tell you with pride of earning their citizenship. Even my curmudgeon Holocaust survivor Uncle ran to take the test and was proud of his achievement.

When we talk of history we need to remove some of the Marxist crap. The story of America is not about class warfare and victimization. It is about a nation being founded on a set of shared ideals. Most of the difficult chapters in American history are from failing to spread those ideas to
its logical conclusion.

I want to point out the difference in the common American Patriot as typified by Mr Beamish and the Europhile apologist for totalitarianism Ducky. Ducky unlike most commies is relatively well rounded and can be personable.

A common rant of the Duck is complaining that freedom to most Americans is having 50 brands of Potato Chips to get obese. The reaction from the Patriotic Mr. B is who are you to determine what is best for America and pass the Barbecue Kettle Fried Chips.

Make no mistake in that when you are dealing with a Marxist you are dealing with a cultist who thinks he is in possession of the divine truth as stated by a mendicant unemployable philosopher. They are more fundamentalist and doctrinaire and less reality based than the folks at the 700 Club who they mock. They are also as bigoted as the KKK. They merely focus their obsessions on Jews merely using a code word or two.

This blog has plenty of readers who are genuine Christians. They would not dream of telling you
what food should be in your cupboard or taxing a Whopper. There are some who home school their children to avoid the Marxist indoctrination of our educational system. It would be far better to take the political agitation out of our educational system and get back to basics. Perhaps one day, parents could opt for a more traditional school program. A parent could choose if he wanted a more classical English lit program and traditional history as opposed to Marxist drivel. Maybe someday the folks in big education will grasp the damage the leftist activists have
done to their profession.

When you hear the Duck rattle on about Cuba making excuses about a regime that has been gone 50 years. It is a sign of progress that Cubans can read exactly what communists tell the unwashed masses. Hailed Cuban health care included the use of placing gays and political prisoners in mental hospitals. Aids patients were placed into what amounts as soft prisons. One could only imagine the reaction of the demented Duck if anyone suggested this in the USA.

With this divide noted lets look at history again

Slavery

Slavery was a given in all societies. The question of if the practice was barbaric didn't get considered later. The notion that slavery was an abomination was largely a Christian concept. The generic Marxist apologist view that somehow slavery in Africa, by American Indians or in Arabia was somehow less odious is political correctness run amok. Moreover, Marxists practice Neoslavery in gulags in the current era.

The United States went through a Civil War largely to end the practice. Today the best discussion of slavery starts with it was a product of an earlier less enlightened time and hardly unique to America. The mistake occurred by not being including all people in our standard of individual rights and liberties. We discuss the wrongs of the era in its proper context without the Marxist malfeasance of indict a civilization by its history. Oddly when I use this same technique
on communists they cry and do not have a clue how to respond.

Our nation does not have second class citizens. An American is a person with a shared set of ideals and values embodied in our founding documents. Thus one there is a wide difference between myself and Mr. B but we both respect the founding principles and respecting the give and take is within our traditions.

Communists typically describe themselves as "citizens of the planet". Their dogmatic replies and mania about nationalism are not American in spirit. Thus someone like the Duck may be born here but he wants to alter this country into EU#2. He has no respect for our traditions or the actual views of the people. In his opinion all of you are living a false consciousness because you reject his faith.

With these notes in hand, watching the exchanges between the Marxist Duck and a Nationalist liberal make more sense. Also remember that when I am discussing issues with Mr. Beamish, AOW or Warren on the right it is a different conversation.

Every Now and Then The Duck Reminds Us Of His Warped Values

The Duck has finally found a celebrity he would like to shut up. Now the Duck is quite critical of my boycotting films because of the presence of outspoken leftists such as Sean Penn, Vanessa Redgrave and Michael Moore. In general the Duck seems to think that outspoken morons who are
not paid to be pundits have a duty to remind all of us that they are political morons.

The Duck has found an athlete he would like to shut up. Did this athlete rape a woman or misbehave in a topless bar? Did this athlete do narcotics or abuse steroids? Did this athlete father a string of kids all over the country? No..

Meet Tim Tebow, an excellent role model, college QB and prospective NFL player. Tebow is an outspoken Christian who takes his religion seriously. He loves and respects his mother who was a gasp missionary dedicated to helping people without Marxist malfeasance. Tebow was home schooled by his mother. His mother was ill during pregnancy and doctors advised her to abort the child to save her life. The child grew up to be a star QB and an even better role model. He addresses all of his coaches naturally with a yes sir.

I do not know if he will be a star QB in the NFL. However, if you are Jacksonville or Buffalo and selling tickets is a problem and you need a QB I would draft him in a second. He is coach-able and willing to learn and unlike Jamarcus Russel has a solid work ethic. He will be an asset to whatever community he goes to. Bad news for the Duck is that Bill Belechik of the New England Patriots is a fan of Tebow and has multiple opportunities in the second round to draft him as a successor to Tom Brady. Tebow unlike Brady, will never end up in the tabloids for gallivanting with actresses and models. The Duck would then have to root against the Patriots as Tebow would just be too much for the Marxist Duck.

The Duck was having a field day because Tebow scored relatively low for a QB on his intelligence test. The Duck forgets that Tebow's score exceeds the general population. It is a safe bet to say he is smarter then Shaun Penn who can't string a sentence together. We now for a fact he is more educated than Barbara "barely got out of high school" Streisand. He is saner than the late Harold Pinter.

No matter what happens in his career Tebow is a winner. After football, he will likely marry have kids and be the next Merlin Olsen.

Discussing Music

I am amused by the conversation going on at other blogs with the Duck about music. The Duck has a disdain for Heavy Metal. I have been known to listen to AC DC while driving on the road.

One of the great pleasures I have at work is listening to Music while off calendar. I used to listen to
Pink Floyd but this became passe in my office. That group is listened to by a cross section of late 50's to early 20's. I played some Blondie, but she is very much beloved in NYC by a similar cross section. Oddly, my office is near the best music store in NYC. One of my best pleasures is picking up a compilation tape and hearing songs that were forgotten over the years.

Over the years I have started to like the Ventures. Most casual music lovers in the states know this group from the classic TV theme of Hawaii 5-0 and Walk Don't Run. They should have special appeal to our audience members whose first language is not English and are huge in Japan for that reason. They made wonderful instrumental versions of other groups classics notably Wipeout, Telstar and Apache.

It is a great pleasure to listen to forgotten music like the Bumble Boogie or Beatnik Fly on compilation records. Sometimes the whole album stinks like the Instrumental collection of the 70's. Other times I find I like one or two songs like Mr. Moto and the Lonenly Surfer. Almost all of these songs are on You Tube. I have yet to find a compilation album with the Raunchy Twist,
but it is probably out there.

I was pleasantly surprised at how the young Kids still like Alan Sherman. I am sure the Duck probably has RAT FINK somewhere as Commies venerate this term.

Pop Culture and NYC

NYC has been the back drop for many classic TV shows. This NYC Native will list his ten favorites.

1) The Odd Couple
2) All in the Family
3) Kojak
4) McCloud
5) Welcome Back Kotter
6) Barney Miller
7) The Honeymooners
8)Seinfeld
9) Bewitched
10) Just Shoot Me

Rethinking American history

The more I read about colonial history the more I am convinced that our fashionable cartoon versions are out of date. For years the narrative has fluctuated between the super patriot myth
and the Marxist born in sin cartoon.

I want to point out that there were real crimes committed against Indians in the founding of the country. However, the Indians were not proto hippie commies who lived in ways similar to Mazzola commercials. Like us they had their own issues and were capable of crimes against weaker tribes.This is not intended as justification of the crimes, but to view events in a more realistic light.

Native Americans societies acted in their own interests. The Algonquin had their French Allies led by Champlain attack their enemies. The Iroquois attacked smaller tribes and wiped out a few. The Oneida took in the Tuscarora refugees. The Mohawks and Joseph Brandt were ties to the Crown by both family and financial ties. Both sides committed atrocities against each other.

The true history is of people with motives and tribes acting in their own interests. The colonials and the Native Americans were more like us than we presume.

Clinton warns of the creation of right wing terrorists

I am quite amused and perplexed by Bill Clintoon's concern that the Tea Party protests could foster the growth of terrorists.

There are a bunch of losers and freaks who talk about revolution in America as the answer to all of societies problems. They are more doctrinaire and fundamentalist than the folks who watch the 700 club whom they mock and their Muslim allies. Their statements are virtually indistinguishable from Nazi type of bigotry.

The government seems oblivious to hate when it is expressed at so called peace protests or in tax payer supported Universities so long as it is sanctioned by Marx or Jihad. Of course Clinton is not honest about the true source of 90% of the world's terrorism. However, he did have a rare good moment when he told off a 9-11 truther in uncharacteristically direct terms. Of course Clinton has not deduced with rare exception truthers are from the far left and those who are not
merely ape the rhetoric about Jews from far left sources.

Clinton was a lousy President. However, unlike Obama he was clever enough to know how far to push the envelope to the left. Obama is clearly clueless and those who wish him ill should consider that Joe Biden would even be worse. We would be stuck with a series of Obama mythology that would be on a par with the JFK mythology. The midterm election will send a message, but will Obama listen.
