This is a very silly film from way back in 1950. Notice the quaint automobiles and the presence of cows. Did those poor folks get a New York City Pass? Could Universal Health Care be next for them?

Remember how it use to be before the country changed fundamentally and the United States reversed course? People were even forced to watch non 1080p television and gather together to play card games and sing songs! How insufferable! How rude!

But it was their choice. They voted for it. They kept voting for freedom. That’s how it was, way back before we were all liberated from capitalism and shown the true way of shared sacrifice. May his will be done.

A Film Review from way back in 2003 – Where is Wrongway Flick now? Was he surprised during the presidential debates of 2008, a full five years after his backwards prescient guffaw at our expense? Does he miss George Bush? Do you want this man reviewing your film??
(We’re not making this stuff up! A True Review)

Reviewer: Flick Harrison  – October 30, 2003
Subject: Looks more like capitalism

“Watching the poor homeowners getting thrown out of their house, I couldn’t help but wonder why two families were moving in – they seemed so happy to get a house at all. The fact that houses were in short supply on the first day of the new plan suggests that capitalism wasn’t quite perfect after all.

I have had many friends chucked out onto the street by capitalist landlords, usually to let their kids move in, or to raise the rent, so… that particular “Communist” threat is a little weak. And the Party man’s argument, that the factory was shut “temporarily” and that “in the long run it’ll be better for everyone” sounds suspiciously like capitalist globalization rhetoric. Just watch “Roger and Me” and see if you think it’s the communists who shut down plants and force workers to move.

In fact, the commies in this film at least have another job and house to hand over to the hapless worker, and provide a moving truck to drive them there, unlike General Motors! Sounds like a pro-commie film to me!

Also, the “presidential debate” at film’s opening is so trumped up it’s hilarious. “Vote for the Master State and the Master Plan!” Right… how sinister.

And the voters say, “I don’t really understand it… I’m going to vote for it.”

Their biggest complaint about the capitalist is “I’m sick of being told how great freedom is! I’m voting for the master plan!” Then they place “Imagine how great full employment would be” in the midst of nonsense like that. Yeah. Imagine how great full employment WOULD be. (Ed Note: The country had hateful and unimaginable statistical  full employment for nearly all of BushII’s time in office.)

The idea that there’d ever be a US election between one capitalist candidate and one communust candidate, and they would sit civilly and politely interrupt one another on TV, let the commie have the last word etc (on a corporate TV network, no less) is friggin’ hilarious.“ Reference: Wrongway Flick’s review

Thank you Flick Harrison. Are you LOL now? Make of the flick, and Flick what you will.

However, it must be noted and forever remembered that somebody must have paid attention. Capitalism persisted until January 2009. Let’s all hop in the back of that Obama Master State truck right now! We gotta get on down that long progressive road. Gotta get on down to Sugar Candy Mountain where we’ll all be happy and fed forever, amen.

…

And lastly, Lest we forget… The tasty icing on our cake. Bow your heads low and click for the audio… An oldy, but a goody! It’s the Obama National Anthem. It’s the reason we vote for him. It’s the reason he is OUR leader! Always and forever, may he be eternally blessed 72 times! Whoopee Goldberg plays herself in…

Now that the Iraq war is fully over and all the troops have come home, except for the a few “advisers” according to our victorious President Obama, it’s time to ask whatever happened to the only funny thing to come from the whole sorry mess, and that is none other than the much beloved Baghdad Bob, aka Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf?

Presidents have always had their helpful spokesperson helpers. Pictured above find:

• President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lord Haw Haw of the German helper service, and Tokyo Rose of the Japan branch.

• President George Bush and his Iraqi spokesperson, Baghdad Bob

• President Barack Obama and his spokesman, Baghdad Bob Gibbs

Advice from Baghdad Bob that rings through to today:
“Don’t repeat the lies of the liars.”

It’s hard to believe, but some people walking around now may not have been alive to hear the nightly shortwave frolics of fancy by Lord Haw Haw, much less Baghdad Bob during the Gulf War II.

Baghdad Bob was the much beloved Iraqi Information Minister for the late strongman Saddam Hussein, and provided much needed comic relief as the shooting war wound down. Anyone who was keeping up with the war has fond memories of Baghdad Bob, though time may have made his actual poetic utterances a bit fuzzy.

It is to this end that we present Baghdad Bob’s most cherished sayings. While it is true that what we have here is no more than the results of scanning the internet, it’s something you may not have considered doing for yourself. But, it is a time of remembrance.

Baghdad Bob’s sayings below were gleaned principally from an excellent and patriotic website called Tankmastergunner.com. Again, while the quotes are freely available across the internet, the webmaster of Tankmastergunner took the time to compile them. Our thanks.

The video presentation is from YouTube, of course, which at the time we embedded it had shown this classic more than 308,000 times. Much like Angies List Reviews.

For some it will be nostalgia. For others, not acquainted with Baghdad Bob’s hijnks, it will be pure poetry in motion.

And still for others who don’t know who President Roosevelt is, or his helpful minions, Lord Haw Haw and Tokyo Rose, my only suggestion is to forget college and pick up a good old history book every once in awhile.

The trail of Baghdad Bob ran cold a few years ago. It is said he may be living or toes up in Qatar these days.

The War News According To Baghdad Bob

“The information was correct, but the interpretation was not,”

“The time is not yet ripe to say what happened. When history’s ready, then we can talk about it,”

“The military part of our information network – which we were accustomed to rely on for exact information – was the first part of the network to fall apart,”

“It did suffer and it became very weak, while the reporters from Iraqi radio and television stations were more active and had more accurate information.”

“It was unworthy of our military sources that they were the first to weaken.”

“a difficult situation, not for one individual, but for everybody”
about the war….

“Everyone could face something that hurts him. But I don’t expect that I will be hurt,”

“We will push those crooks, those mercenaries back into the swamp”

“With respect to the situation in Al-Faw, the British told big lies. In Al-Faw, our forces’ positions remained in place.”

“These mercenaries and hirelings kidnapped civilians in the Al-Faw Peninsula so that they might claim that they captured Iraqi soldiers.”

“We counted 19 missiles that landed in a small area of Baghdad.”
(Coalition forces claimed that over 300 missiles and bombs hit Baghdad that night)

“I think that the Iraqi ground defenses shot down dozens of missiles. We are in the process of counting all these missiles quickly”

“These are not ordinary human beings. They are criminals. As a matter of fact, they are criminals, both by nature and by training. By nature, because they are not decent. They are criminals.”

“Big institutions in this imperial state, in this evil US empire, prepare their politicians to become criminals.”

“God willing, we will throw them into the sea.”

“We will get them stuck in the mud and we will certainly defeat them.”
- Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf,
Al-Jazeera TV 22 March

“A small number of peasants – brave peasants – shot down two Apaches”

“During the battles last night and at dawn, they [ Ba'th Socialist Party fighters] had destroyed three American helicopters”

“…..they had burnt and destroyed around 30 vehicles, including tanks and APC’s and damaged three enemy helicopters. God bless the fighters of the Arab Socialist Ba’th Party.”

“No one received them [the coalition forces] with roses.
They were received with bombs, shoes and bullets.”

“Up till now, they are only on dock No. 10, not in Umm Qasr, not in the city,”

“They want to deceive their people first because now they are in a very shabby situation,”

“It’s a small town, it has only a few docks … now they are in a trap.”

“Iraqi forces are still in control of the city, and they are engaging in an attrition war with the enemy.”

“Americans are now in disarray”

“They try to engage the world as much as they can and we will continue until they leave our land.”

“They are again in the dirt in the desert”

“They will try to enter Baghdad, and I think this is where their graveyard will be”
“Their objective is to get to the outskirts of Baghdad. So be it”
“We will see how the issue will turn out when they come to Baghdad.”

“Iraq will spread them even more and chop them up.”

“How can you lay siege to a whole country? Who is really under siege now? Baghdad cannot be besieged.”

“This boa, the American columns, are being besieged between Basra and other towns north, west, south and west of Basra. The Americans are the people who are under siege.”

“The fact is that as soon as they reach Baghdad gates, we will besiege them and slaughter them.”

“Until now they have refused to do battle with us. They are just going places.”

“One can describe them as a boa: when it feels threatened, it runs to somewhere else.”

“The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river.”

“…over the past two days, we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target.”

“We want to tell him [Blair] that we have not executed anybody. They are either killed in battle, most of them get killed because they are cowards anyway, the rest they just get captured.”

“Let’s go and do jihad”
“Whoever dies will be rewarded by heaven.”

“Hit them. Fight them. They are cursed; they are evil”
“We will be victorious, and they will be defeated.

“The Iraqi troops and the Iraqi fighters are in control of all the places, as we have witnessed,
No big change in that. We are fighting against them.”

“They are achieving nothing, they are suffering from casualties. Those casualties are increasing, not decreasing,”

“Fight them everywhere. Don’t give them a chance to breathe until they withdraw and retreat.”

“They are lying every day. They are lying always, and mainly they are lying to their public opinion,”

“What they say about a breakthrough is completely an illusion. They are sending their warplanes to fly very low in order to have vibrations on these sacred places.”

“The authority of the civil defense … issued a warning to the civilian population not to pick up any of those pencils because they are booby traps,”

“I am not talking about the American people and the British people, I am talking about those mercenaries. … They have started throwing those pencils, but they are not pencils, they are booby traps to kill the children.”

“I can assure you that those villains will recognize, will discover in appropriate time in the future how stupid they are and how they are pretending things which have never taken place”

“They’ve not been able to control any Iraqi city. We’re waging war against this snake and we will be victorious.”

“They are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender.”

“Make the land of Islam a burning fire that burns their faces and feet wherever they pass”

“We are determined to defeat them and destroy them on the walls of our capital, as we are determined to destroy their miserable armies in every Muslim spot.”

“The criminals will be humiliated… To hurt the enemy more, raise the level of your attacks.”

“Today we slaughtered them in the airport. They are out of Saddam International Airport,”

“Those who ran away are now outside the distant perimeter wall of the airport. Now they’re outside the wall and the heroic Republican Guard is now in control of the whole area of Saddam International Airport. So where are those villainous louts, those mercenaries?”

“The force that was in the airport, this force was destroyed.”

“We have crushed the whole force which dared to venture there. They were on the runway at Saddam International Airport. That force was crushed”

“Their casualties and bodies are many. Their equipment and vehicles, several were destroyed,”

“They are still trying to bomb with artillery and rocket-propelled grenades to hit the Republican Guard who are controlling Saddam International Airport.”

“God willing we’ll slaughter them all”

“The infidels are committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad… Be assured, Baghdad is safe, protected. Iraqis are heroes.”

“One hundred infidels committed suicide as they entered the holy city of Baghdad. Their tanks will become their tombs.”

“We will in fact encourage them to commit more suicides. We have given them death and poison.”

“There is no presence of the American columns in the city of Baghdad at all. We besieged them and we killed most of them.”

“As our leader Saddam Hussein said, “God is grilling their stomachs in hell.”

“The soldiers of Saddam Hussein have given them a lesson they will never forget,”

“These mercenaries, I swear by God, those who are still in Washington, they have sent their troops to be burned.”

“The Americans, they always depend on a method what I call … stupid, silly. All I ask is check yourself. Do not in fact repeat their lies.”

“Don’t repeat the lies of the liars.”
(Split screen; American tanks occupying the Baghdad parade ground, he stood calmly a couple of hundred yards away, on the roof of the Palestine Hotel, to tell reporters that none of this was really happening.)

Miscellaneous funny quotes by the Iraqi Information Minister

“We will welcome them with bullets and shoes.”

“My feelings – as usual – we will slaughter them all.”

“Our initial assessment is that they will all die.”

“These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying.”

“We will slaughter them; Bush Junior, and his international gang of bastards!”

“The insane little dwarf, Bush.”

“The midget, Bush, and that Rumsfeld deserve only to be beaten with shoes by freedom loving people everywhere.”

“Bush is a very stupid man. The American people are not stupid, they are very clever. I can’t understand how such clever people came to elect such a stupid president.”
(American Libs loved that one.)

“Bush, Blair and Rumsfeld; they are the funny trio.”

“There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!”

“I blame Al-Jazeera. They are marketing for the Americans.”

“The American press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies and more lies!”

“Let the American infidels bask in their illusion.”

“They are most welcome. We will butcher them.”

“Saddam Hussein’s soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly.”

“Washington has thrown their soldiers on the fire.”

“I speak better English than this villain, Bush.”

“Our estimates are that none of them will come out alive unless they surrender to us quickly.”

“They are becoming hysterical. This is the result of frustration.”

“They think we are retarded. They are retarded.”

“Yesterday, we slaughtered them and we will continue to slaughter them.”

“Today, the tide has turned, we are destroying them.”

Where are you Baghdad Bob? We miss you! Please phone home!

This sort of photographic malfeasance is beneath the dignity of the MOST Conservative Website in America However, we found the image below while doing our diligent research into important matters of state. We do not know who actually crafted the grisly visage.

However, one must admit, if one is entirely truthful, that the photo lends itself to clever balloon titles. The photo is entitled, “ShutUpBarack.”

It is a sad fact of public life that when one is photographed as often as these two celebs, the planets must align in perfect synchronicity every once in awhile.  When that happens, the results are always better than ham handed Photoshop manipulations, like fake boogers hanging from the nose, etc.

ShutupBarack caught our eye… Originally Barack says tearfully, ” Michelle, I can’t take this. I can’t keep pretending I know what I’m doing!”

Michelle fires back, “You shut the he** up Barack! You are NOT going to ruin this for me!”

Well, we modified the caption boxes, as you see. We took out the text, leaving them pristine clean so that you can write in your own material.  You can use Photoshop, or even print out the photo so you can get to work with your pencil or crayon. It’s fun, and you learn a lot! It’s the first step to becoming a graphic artist or a comedy writer. Show off your personal design work to your workmates and boss or teacher.

Submit your best effort somewhere, and you most likely will win a prize!

Regarding our recent “If I Were Obama” contest…  We probably won’t do another contest any time soon because of our bad experience with this one. We just received this snitty mail from the grand prize winner Harold Lauder of Ogunquit Maine…

Dear ATP,

I am in receipt of your grand prize… A brand new Hybrid car. The pamflet that came with it says that its top speed is 47 miles per hour, but it has not moved from my driveway. You sent me the car alright – but you didn’t send the electric cord. I checked and a 40 mile long extension cord to make this dang car run is $39,999.00. I ain’t got that kind of money. I want my money back!
Yours Sincerely,
Harold Lauder

We replied…

Dear Mr. Lauder,

Your brand new car was a GIFT! You did not pay any money to us for us to send you. We suggest you consult with the nearest Hybrid car dealer for assistance.

Frankly, we don’t have time for this foolishness, so we’re officially out of the free prize business! We’ll just stick to most conservative business.

As it turns out, insufferably long vacations are just another dormant progressive tradition brought back to full vigor. Below, find an article from what was then known as the Perrysburg Journal, circa July 1907.

America lost its journalistic innocence for good and all in the last couple of years. Even so, we have the tendency to believe that at some point back in time, news givers were honest and neutral in their reporting.

As a student of history, I realize that different time periods have different customs. I have always made allowances. Longer vacations, for example, were more common back then, for people who had the time, means, and circumstances for them.

However, lately, I have come to the conclusion that some things are universal. FOUR months vacation for the chief executive of the United States…and he’s not taking calls? And the news media gushes bully good cheer?

Read this “neutral” piece from 1907 on the subject of presidential vacations. (The author is not stated) Liken it to what you’re hearing these days, if you are one of the diminishing breed that monitors the mainstream media.

I believe the article is exactly 180 degrees out from what it should have been. I believe I would have entitled the piece, “President Takes Some Time From Busy Vacation Schedule To Do A Little Of The Nation’s Business Occasionally.”

I have always been a TR supporter, I built the graphic below, respectfully, of bits and pieces from the time.

Like you, I loved his Big Stick theory and his attitude to conservation and hunting. However, lately, as we learn of his progressive ways, he seems, now, tarnished. The article included does not improve on the growing stain.

The people who were alive in 1907, though without Rush, Glenn, Sean, and Fox News, were not stupid. Make of the article what you will.

——————————————————————

The President’s Vacation
Roosevelt Always in Touch with Affairs of the Nation

DEVOTES PART OF EVERY DAY TO PUBLIC AFFAIRS
OYSTER BAY July 1907.

Although President Roosevelt is settled down at Oyster Bay for a four months’ vacation he will not be able to escape from a good deal of the labors and duties of his job. The public business at Washington goes on just the same.

There are officials to appoint, questions of policy to decide, commissions in the army and navy to sign, many other things that no one but the president can attend to, and which President Roosevelt would let no other man attend to even if he had the power.

While he spends the summer In his modest and comfortable country house at Sagamore Hill he is obliged to devote a few hours a day often more than a few to the nation’s business.

When the president went down to Oyster Bay recently he was accompanied by Secretary Loeb, Assistant Secretary Latta, and four clerks from the executive staff at Washington.

They began work next day in the executive offices In the village of Oyster Bay, three miles from the president’s house. These offices are connected by direct wire with the executive offices adjoining the White House at Washington. The clerks at the capital are therefore in as close touch with their immediate chief, Mr. Loeb, as if he were in his own office there.

Mr. Loeb, in turn, is in constant touch with the president. The whole arrangement works out in the same manner as if the capital and all the departments had been moved from Washington to Oyster Bay.

One difference is that the president never visits the executive offices in Oyster Bay. Whatever business requires to be brought to his attention is taken up by Secretary Loeb to Sagamore Hill. Mr. Loeb goes to the president in the forenoon about 11 o’clock, after he has gone through the mall and sorted out from it the letters and official papers which need to pass under the executive eye or hand. Some days Mr. Loeb gets back to the village in time to put in an hour’s work before luncheon. More often his luncheon has to wait an hour for him.

The executive offices at “the summer capital,” as Oyster Bay folk take pride in calling their village, never fail to Impress visitors by their unpretentiousness. They consist of seven office rooms and a storeroom, into which a loft above a corner grocery has been divided. Mr. Moore, the enterprising purveyor of pure food to the villagers and surrounding gentry, is a famous man every summer. The whole country hears each summer in the press dispatches of “the executive offices over Moore’s grocery.”

Mr. Moore’s pride would be greater if the president should come down some day and transact some important piece of business there. It would be a fluke 87.

The cabinet is rarely called together in the president’s vacation, and then only to consider matters regarded as of the highest importance.

Nevertheless, in the course of a summer most of the members of the cabinet pay a visit, either of business or friendship to Sagamore Hill. They often dine and sleep there. Some of the president’s closest friends in the senate, members of the “tennis” cabinet, or literary cronies, are overnight guests. But most of Mr. Roosevelt’s visitors who call by appointment are asked to arrive in the forenoon and to stay for luncheon.

It is the impression at Oyster Bay that there will be many such visits by the closest political friends of the administration from next week on. The master of Sagamore Hill Is watching with the closest scrutiny the development of the campaign for the nomination of his successor, and it is likely that he will have frequent consultations with the leading statesmen who are devoted to him and his policies.

Doctor Glenn Beck - Foremost interpreter of the Progressive

Glenn Beck over the last year or so has brought to light a much forgotten “Eugenics Movement” in the United States.

If you have been following Beck, you know of what I speak. If not, briefly, the science of eugenics was promoted by the self same progressives that Hillary Clinton said that she fashioned herself after, albeit as a “modern progressive.” Eugenics is the science of race manipulation to obtain better human specimens.

The practical application of eugenics was seen in Germany beginning in the 30′s lasting up until the last days of World War II. It began with the kindly elimination of the insane (wonder how they missed themselves), the infirm, and folks they didn’t like, leading eventually to 7 million Jews being poisoned, suffocated, shot, gassed, and beaten to death. However, prior to this enlightened social democrat period, it was a popular topic with enlightened Americans. In fact, a case could be made that the Germans learned much of their eugenics art from academic America.

It is not my contention that modern progressives would dip back into eugenics, however, the same faulty mind circuits are still there that allow for goofy and dangerous logic.

In other words, progressives have changed but little, if at all, and they prove it all the time with their wacky causes. They see but only a short distance into the future, and to the past, not at all. The consequences be damned. Full speed ahead.

By comparison, and I mean this sincerely, the Ku Klux Klan were pikers when set side by side with the educated progressives of the time when it came to the final solution of the lesser classes of human beings. The Klan would have been well satisfied with a few lynchings and shipping all non whites back to their country of original origin.

The progressives, however, many of them, would have been satisfied with no less than the complete eradication of anyone not fitting a strict Aryan mold.

Personally, the first time I ever heard the world “eugenics” was on an original Star Trek episode. Every Trek enthusiast knows that the Eugenics Wars took place sometime in the 1990′s…and that it had something to do with building a more perfect man. But that’s about all. For all I knew at the time, and for years after, it may have been a word that Gene Roddenberry made up.

However, now I know that Roddenberry, who often made political statements inside the Trek flickers, had a bone to pick with eugenics. Whether he was referring to what went on in Germany during WWII or the whole can of worms can’t be known.

Of late, as already mentioned, Glenn Beck has re-opened the can of worms, exposing it for a the progressive plot it was.  And not just any old progressive plot either. It was evidently an elitist progressive favorite. Elite as in college deans. Contemporary masters of science.

Much as I am sitting here railing against eugenics, at one point in our history, college professors and their bosses were railing for eugenics.

Eugenics does have a bit of a nice ring, you must admit. Wouldn’t it be nice if only the right sort of people were alive? You know, all right handed white guys and strong, yet submissive, large breasted blond women? (Sort of like Sweden.) Everybody polite, and you could leave your doors unlocked? And NO guilt for all the people that were bumped off to make it so?

All possible outcomes of the perfect eugenicized society have all been explored in science fiction and dismissed as so much koolaid eons ago.  Causes way more problems than it fixes.

But, once upon a time, the most “intelligent” progressives thought eugenics was a neat idea. Naturally, they had their detractors, much as the the proud progressives of the modern era do with their pie in the sky, consequences be damned, theories.

So, you say, it can’t happen here? Maybe not now, but it did, once, in Germany. As a matter of fact, it happened here as well. It is stated, if not totally spelled out below. Read the numbers.

Contemporary Writings on Eugenics…

Below, find a short bio of Victor C. Vaughn straight from JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2000. Below that, read the sinister article in the defunct University Missourian newspaper from 1913 by one in the same, dean Vaughn. The article in toto was written by the “United Press.” You will note that the JAMA did not include any mention of dean Vaughan’s eugenic leanings…

The opening of the historical text below is evidently a foreword and opinion. It appears to be by the presenter, or editor of the piece in the University Missourian. You’ll have to make up your own mind on that. After that, you’ll read Vaughan’s opinions.

Check out the the bio of the University Missourian and the school it belonged to. I expect, if you are a Beck fan, you will not be terribly surprised. If it’s all news to you, hold onto your hat as you check the sources.

I apologize for length and dryness of this offering. What lies above is largely opinion. What lies below is verbatim fact. Read carefully and note the keywords. You’ll find that American progressives did indeed see themselves producing “supermen,”and not necessarily in nice ways.

If you are familiar with the eugenics carried out by Germany in WWII, relate what you read below to what actually transpired 20 years later as the theory becomes fact. Consider what part writings such as this played in the formulation of the Final Solution.

As you’ll find, if you are the least philosophical, and live long enough, nothing EVER happens in a vacuum. You just have to find the pieces and put them together properly. History is prologue.

What you will read below is only a tiny, tiny part of the voluminous text of proof provided by progenitor progressives that remains for our eyes to this day.

Victor C. Vaughan Biography

(Bio from JAMA) Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 150 words of the full text and any section headings.
Victor Clarence Vaughan (1851-1929) was best known as the dean of the University of Michigan Medical School from 1891 to 1920. A biochemist, hygienist, public health authority, medical educator, and administrator, Vaughan was a leading figure in US medicine during the late 19th century and through the Progressive Era. For example, in 1889 (along with Michigan bacteriologist Frederick Novy), he developed one of the first systematic courses on bacteriology and germ theory for medical students. He was instrumental in the implementation of medical educational reforms years before the landmark Flexner report on medical education of 1910. In the laboratory, Vaughan applied biochemical methods to identifying putrefactive bacteria in food products in order to significantly reduce the incidence of “ptomaine poisoning” in Michigan and beyond.

SCIENCE OF EUGENICS
Victor C. Vaughan of University of Michigan Tells of Efforts of Eugensts.
ANSWER TO BISHOP

Professor Believes all Men and Women Should Undergo Examinations.

To deny the possibility of race betterment is the worst form of infidelity; it means to be without faith in self, in fellow men and in the Creator. Race betterment, which, of course, includes and depends upon self betterment, should influence our daily lives, form a basis for our ethical judgments, determine our political activities, and be a strong motive in our religion.”This statement today from Victor ( Vaughan, dean of the University of Michigan medical department, and world-famed advocate of eugenics, was made in reply to recent utterances of Bishop E. D. Kelly, of the Detroit diocese of the Catholic church, who declared that “the religion that holds God as the author of the human soul must carry on warfare against a so-called science which, under the captious terms of sterilization and sex hygiene, interferes with man’s natural powers, contravenes his God-given free will and robs children of purity and innocence.” Through the United Press. Dean Vaughan today defended the science of eugenics in the follow article:

By Victor C. Vaughan, written for the United Press.

The eugenist is trying to accomplish to things, both of which are essential to the welfare of the human race. One of these is to prevent the multiplication of bad stock, and the other is to encourage the replenishment of the good. The science of eugenics (lost text) its negatives and its positive work. (lost text) -,ative eugenics can succeed only by the help of legal enactments. There must be laws preventing the marriage and reproduction of the unwanted.

Crime is a disease due to heredity, or environment, or both, and at present we permit it to breed and come to maturity in our midst. It will not grow less as long as this continues.

Its breeding places should be located and disinfected. No child should be born into this world save from good stock. However, “good stock” needs some explanation. By good stock the eugenist means one relatively free from undesirable unit characters, and the most important of these are alcoholism, feeblemindedness, epilepsy, insanity, pauperism and criminality. All those classes should be excluded from the list of those to whom is granted the privileges of exercising the highest, holiest, most important function of the race parenthood.

The eugenist does not propose that marriage selections shall be determined by statute, but it does propose to educate the young that selections shall be made on more rational grounds than at present. The eugen!st does not aim to degrade or abolish the institution of marriage, but does aim to inculcate the idea that marriage is the highest and holiest of institutions so holy that he who dishonors it shall be counted worse than an infidel. It is no free love scheme,for that would lead to physical, mental and moral debasement.

The eugenist will endeavor to induce the state to aid in the evolution of the superman by restricting the reproduction of the obviously undesirable. It is even now a crime by statute in the state of Michigan for an individual of one sex to infect one of the other with a venereal disease, whether the relations between the two be that of husband and wife or otherwise. However, such a statute is at present without other than educational value. Inasmuch as the prevention of crime is much wiser than permitting and then punishing it, the state will go further and demand that no marriage be permitted only to those free from those diseases.

It will come to pass that every wise man and woman will under a medical examination once or oftener each year to ascertain whether they are sound or not. In working out this problem the state must supply expert medical advice, because this opportunity must be open to poor and rich alike. Already the sterilization of certain classes under certain restrictions has been localized in eight states, and in one the operation has been performed on more than 700 individuals. The state has a right to protect its honest citizens against those who are evil.

In order to secure protection against the evil doer, the state may and does often take his life; may it not therefore render him incompetent to reproduce his kind?

For many reasons, segregation is better than sterilization, the chief objection being the greater cost. But the cost of this method, as great as it would be, is much less than we now bear from unrestricted multiplication of these classes which now occupy our courts, necessitate a large police expenditure, and fill our reformatories, asylums and penal institutions. The suppression of diseases, both that are transmissible from parent to child and those which affect only one generation, is a state problem and must be solved by the state.

Finally, if you have not seen this, you’re in for a real treat. There are other versions of the same clip…that is the same clip with different pictures and text… but I chose this one because of the translation on the page. I think it makes it an even more powerful window into the damaged mind of the progressive past. It adds even more Orwellian flavor to a historical piece of film dripping with it. Relish the words of George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. (And a darned good progressive!)

June 1, 1983, Wednesday Late City Final Edition, NY Times
Dan Rather defended the accusations linking a doctor to an insurance-fraud scheme in a controversial segment of ”60 Minutes,” testifying today in a slander suit against CBS. He noted that…

”If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you’ve got a duck.”

Hear hear Mr. Rather! We couldn’t agree more! Hear hear! Harrumph!

My friends. Do you recall that when Rush Limbaugh made his famous statement that he “Hoped Obama fails,” he brought down the very fires of hell upon himself from a wrathful press. Do you recall that even you were shocked?

I was shocked, and that’s saying something. But just like you, I got over it quickly. Now, the validity of  those words delivered by Mr. Rush On Facebook himself is beyond question.

We all hoped he would fail, even as we have watched him succeed beyond the wildest imaginings of Lucifer on his throne.

Also, do you recall that when some questioned Mr. Obama’s religious preferences, they were castigated and threatened with immediate expulsion from the very human race?

Looking back, do you have a sense that our favorite talkers made much of an issue about Obama and his Muslim tendencies? The answer is no. It was downplayed, ignored, or downright dismissed by everyone with a microphone. And for good reason too. To even hint that Obama has Muslim longings was and still is seen as being somehow bad flavor.

I have never addressed this issue myself. It’s something we all see, but shy away from. In the end, what difference does it make, we think to ourselves.

Friends, may I call you a friend? President Obama’s outreach to the Muslin community is unprecedented. It is so unprecedented that it curdles the imagination.

And you know, it might not be so bad, if he hadn’t shown his butt to Israel at the same time. When you put this together, something stinks.

Quoth Obama’s teleprompter, Friday night on 13th of August, “Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground,” Obama said at a White House dinner celebrating the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. “But let me be clear: as a citizen and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

These words he spoke at the well known Iftar celebration at the White House…

According to the NY Times, “In hosting the iftar, Mr. Obama was following a White House tradition that, while sporadic, dates to Thomas Jefferson, who held a sunset dinner for the first Muslim ambassador to the United States. President George W. Bush hosted iftars annually.”

Well ding dong! Much good Mr. Jefferson’s manners and charity did. Much of the Muslim world hates our guts!

Where did those sillys at the NY Times dig that up? Sounds a little iffy to me, not to besmirch the excellent reportage of the NY Times. Someone needs to check up on this, Mr. Glenn Beck.

Let me be very clear here. To Americans, this is not a religious issue. Americans have spent untold amounts of treasure and thousands of lives fighting for the rights of Muslims around the world. To volunteer to go, risking the possibility to die for strangers in a strange land says a lot about Americans.

More, many courageous men and women, who just happen to be Muslim have risked, and lost their lives in one way or the other here and abroad in the fight against radicalism. Because of the nature of the fight, we’ll never know their names or their stories.

Indeed, the protection and defense of the homeland could not be successfully waged without the help and cooperation of courageous American Muslims willing to come forward with vital information, because they believe it is the right and just thing to do.

The issue is NOT religion. Americans simply don’t think that way. The issue is the handling of the whole issue. America should tell the story, at every opportunity, of how we have helped Muslims. President Obama should tell the story of sacrifice of the American nation for beleaguered peoples worldwide, and done it with no expectation of reward. Americans are defenders…not conquerors.

Frankly, given a choice, American soldiers would rather be sent “over there” to throw candy instead of hand grenades. If a third choice were available, they would even more wish to just stay home.

Instead, we have a PC guilt trip put on us by our own government, as if we have been bad. The whole situation is upside down.

When the majority of people in New York don’t, quite understandably, want a Mosque being built in the shadow of the remains of the World Trade Center, the polite thing to do would be to say Ok, and move it on down the street with only thanks and praise from Americans. But that’s not what’s going to happen. It’s going to fought by people with political agendas and made to look like another case of American religious and racial intolerance. And it will have international, detrimental, and possibly deadly implications.

Regardless, if Obama is our first Muslim president, defined by his deeds, rather than his oath, he should step forward and declare it.

You know, there are some Christians and Jews who are Christians and Jews, but don’t have it stamped on their ID card. Yet, if asked, they’ll happily tell you that they are a Christian, or a Jew, or a Catholic. You don’t have to be a card carrying religionist to be one, you know.

Just fess up. We won’t think any less of you than we already do. Promise!

In summation, Obama’s faith choices aren’t important. However, his actions, dictated by his belief system is important, when it serves to the detriment of the nation. When you overlay his fascination with all things Middle East and Muslim on your view of the man, many of his whimsical dictates become very clear indeed. See, Muslim On The Moon.

Road change you can believe in.

It takes a cool hand to fool the American people, and we know just the man to do it. Introducing Cool Hand Barack…

What we’ve got here is… failure to communicate. Check this out…

Obama Signs Border Bill to Increase Surveillance
President Obama signed into law a $600 million bill on Friday August 13th to pay for 1,500 new border agents, additional unmanned surveillance drones and new Border Patrol stations along the southwest border.

Sounds pretty nifty, huh? Folks finally getting what they want, and passed by congress on their vacation. Serious change and all of that.

When I heard this, the old 60 watt light bulb clicked on about six inches above my noggin. So why would Obama eagerly snap up legislation that he has shown a reluctance to address, what with his pressing vacation schedule and all? I have the answer, but first let me tell you a little about a strange phenomenon in Alabama.

In Alabama, our roads aren’t too bad most days. It could be because of the comparatively mild winters. You won’t find ice scrapers or tire chains in Alabama, and the roads rarely, if ever freeze down to the dirt.

Even so, roads do wear out, and when that happens, we expect a new coat of pavement. However, in Alabama, our roads only get paved every four years or so in the last couple of months leading up to ‘lection day.

It’s an old southern tradition. Perhaps it is done by incumbent politicians to aid the voting folk to be able to get to the polls without having to dodge potholes. How thoughtful! And while the voting folks (volksvoter) are voting, maybe they will appreciate their shiny new roads so much that they’ll vote for the incumbent what brung em to the voting booth.

At least that is the theory, and it has been practiced for as long as I can remember. Even back in the day, the pols would see to it that the chain gangs would lay down a fresh new layer of tar gravel.

I make a prediction. I will predict that between now and ‘lection day, our dear President Obama, may he be blessed 72 times, will more and more do things you like. Why, were it up to him, even your newborn babies would be born fully clothed!

You watch carefully. You’ll see your roads, whatever they may be, abundantly laid with a new mane of tar gravel so magnificent that you’ll jes naturally want to thank the incumbents what brung it to you.

At least, that’s the theory. Don’t be fooled. Even de man wid no eyes can see through that. He’s a tough old boy.

John SteinBECK

Glenn Beck warned early in his show that I’d love his upcoming tattletale on the newest iniquities of the left, and he did not disappoint.

Beck allowed that there would be a new blockade busting botilla to challenge Israel on the high seas. The name of this new Kamikaze mission? How about, ” The Audacity of Hope?”

Read on….From the NY Times quoting from something called UStoGaza.org….

We turn to you to help make the U.S. boat, The Audacity of Hope, a reality. We must raise at least $370,000 in the next month. These funds will be used to purchase a boat large enough for 40-60 people, secure a crew, and cover the licensing and registering of the boat. In addition, the funds will subsidize some other costs of sending a U.S. delegation. [...]

From the deck of The Audacity of Hope, we will be in a powerful and unique position to challenge U.S. foreign policy and affirm the universal obligation to uphold human rights and international law.

I’m not Jewish. Being from the deep south, I have probably never met more than a half dozen Jews in my entire life, and I was in grade school when JFK got shot. Nevertheless, I have always been a supporter of the little country as most conservatives are.

When I finished wiping the blood from the couch that had shot from my eyes, I said something very naughty. The Managing Editor of AlabamaTeaParty.org, used to these outbursts, said simply that President Obama should pick up the phone immediately and tell whoever was on the other end to find out who these people are so as to tell him who’s ass he should kick.

Obama is in a similar situation to John Steinbeck, should the KKK have decided to blockade American shipping lanes with a botilla called, “The Grapes of Wrath.”

Obama should ask himself, “What would Steinbeck do?”

If Obama does nothing, then it would be very telling, now wouldn’t it? You can bet this story will be updated…one way or the other.

In case you missed it for good reasons like mucking out the bird cage, here’s the scoop…

When asked by the young, dashing host of Meet the Press host, David Duchovny, the direct question, ” You don’t agree with Republican leaders who say tax cuts pay for themselves?”

MR. GREENSPAN: They do not.

In other words, Greenspan doesn’t believe in tax cuts. The ONLY way you get tax cuts these days is to put them in place and let them pay for themselves as they have done time after time. It’s the way it works.

There have ever only been two real czars in this country. J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI and Alan Greenspan of the Fed. In contrast, the rest have been piddly little czarinas. (Little czars.)

For years,  Greenspan was the darling of the presidents and wielded more and totally secret power than the Russian czars with his goings on at the Fed. He was in power through some of the worst financial times in the nation’s history. To this day I don’t know if he ameliorated or caused the financial collapse and aftermaths during his tenure at the Fed. More, I have often wondered if his actions laid the groundwork for where we are today.

Greenspan either had a stroke early on and is only well now, or has had a stroke recently. Either way, his current comments are bizarre to say the least.

In the next article, you’ll learn that Greenspan was one of Ayn Rand’s earliest disciples. And if Rand could, she would rise from her low place in the ground and simply pinch his head off. It’s that serious.

Greenspan committed blasphemy of the most egregious sort.

Read the next article to see where Greenspan’s head should be….

Maxine Waters, congressperson D California just called the AlabamaTeaParty.org website the “enema.”  She was partially correct in that there is no more conservative website in all of America than the one you’re looking at this very moment! More, our verbiage is so fluid and pure and sweet smelling that you will never ever have to even consider for a moment flushing it, as it were.

Maxine went on to say, “We’ve got to say to folks in leadership whether it’s the White House or anywhere else, don’t be so afraid of white folks that you treat black people bad.”

This was a not so veiled threat to President Obama, may his name be blessed 72 times, to do more for the black folk. Obama responded by disbanding NASA and sending all the used rockets to the Middle East.

The AlabamaTeaParty.org website believes that Maxine Waters is refreshing in that she totally ignores all conventions of political correctness and just says whatever comes to her damaged brain. It takes imagination to call the AlabamaTeaParty.org site, an enema!

Witness once again, Maxine at her brain dead level best on or about May 22, 2008. Stay seated…the punchline comes at the end of the vid… Kudos to the Fox reporter for that GREAT reach for an excuse for Maxine.

The AlabamaTeaParty.org website LOVES Maxine Waters. She’s yet another dem gift that just keeps on giving…just like a blown oil well.

Who among us ever said that gushers were a thing of the past? Listen to Maxine spew!

We just wished she hadn’t called the AlabamaTeaParty.org website the enema of the people! Bad Maxine! Bad! Grrr Maxine!

Don’t forget to turn out the lights when you leave. Do it for Maxine. Be neat…Retweet! Woof!
