Still Marching twoard Totalitarianism

I haven't added many new posts lately. There are several reasons for this, mostly because I have already commented on what was happening and much the same continues to happen. I could attempt to discuss matters more in depth, such as explaining theoretically, why communism is bad. This has been done. Unfortunately, BHO and his followers seem to want what is bad for us if it will enhance their power, so why waste my breath?

Regarding the attempted coup by the president of Honduras, it appears that he has temporarily flaunted his nation's laws and gets a second bite of the apple. He is a want-to-be dictator who may soon be installed by the United States. (Something that the left used to dislike until a communist came into power, here and there.) The Hondurans are trying desperately to remain free, in spite of U.S. threats and sanctions. The US press also supported the BHO intervention in Honduran affairs. See my earlier post regarding Zelay's attempted coup, posted July 4. (I note that the same thing happened in Niger, which may have given Manuel Zelay the idea. - We did object to Mamadou Tandja in Niger, but he went ahead anyway. His third, unconstitutional, term starts next month. He dismissed parliament and the high court to stay in power. What does BHO do if his man does that too? Why don't we intervene there? Does BHO like that gangster too? Niger is the second largest uranium producer and may have oil. Remember the yellow cake? That's what Saddam's trade envoy went there for not the oil.)

The political situation here continues about the same: more and more unconstitutional powers usurped by all three branches. There is a dribble of defections in the GCP (Government Controlled Press). The major government organs actually did refuse to attend a press conference from which Fox News was was excluded. The RINOs are also slipping. The New Jersey Republican, who had been endorsed by ACORN, has withdrawn from the congressional special election in favor of the third party conservative, who was endorsed by Her Excellency, Sarah Palin.

Domestic economic affairs continue on their dismal trajectory to a $20 trillion debt. More Deficit spending along with low interest rates got us into the current mess and BHO seems to have no remedy but the hair of the dog that bit us. A new best seller, The Conscience of a Libertarian, spells it out well. While your at it, The Conscience of a Conservative, by Barry Goldwater, is pretty good too. We are still trying to spend our way to prosperity and reflate a popped balloon. Yes we can't.

In addition to not having a whole lot more to say, I am also busy with my new hobby of stamp collecting. This is a good way to learn about history and geography. I will post some photos of Third Reich and USSR stamps that I find interesting. The only current fascist and communist party on the ascendancy, is the HBO cabal. The parallels are numerous and depressing.

(See Bill Cunningham and his small cadre of Renegades on facebook for a good time)
