THE DEMOCRATS' DARK DEPRESSION SECRET |

What do you think of when you hear or see a
reference to The Great Depression of the 1930s?
What emotions come up for you?
For you and other normal Americans, words like
"catastrophe" and "nightmare" come to mind, along with images of unemployment
lines blocks long, soup kitchens, and heartbreaking poverty. All the emotions associated with it are
negative. America would have been
incredibly better off if The Great Depression had never happened, right?
You may think and feel that way, but Democrats
- the folks who run the Democrat Party - don't. You may consider The Great Depression to be
the worst thing that ever happened to
America, next to the Civil
War. But for the Democrats, it was the best. After all, the Democrats built their political
power on The Great Depression and are very thankful for it.
Further, it's their template. If The Great Depression was their path to
power before, then replicating it today is seen as the way to maintain their
power into the future. This is the
Democrats' Dark Depression Secret.
Explains a lot, doesn't it?

THE SCAM OF CHINA |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Thursday, 22 October 2009 |
The headline on Bloomberg today (10/22) is dramatic: China's
Economy Grows 8.9%.
So the Scam of China continues, one the greatest feats of
cook-the-books fraudulent accounting in history, but at least it's a teachable
moment in Chinese - and Communist - metaphysics.
First, the scam. How
is it possible for China's
explosive economic growth to be based on gargantuan exports of manufactured
goods, for the sale of those exports to fall off a cliff (down over 20%
this year), then continue to grow just as explosively without massive exports?
The answer is a) you can believe it because you are Alice in
Wonderland's Red Queen who could believe "as many as six impossible things
before breakfast," or b) the Chicoms are lying.
Which do you choose?
They are lying because, for Chinese, and for Marxist Communists, there is no difference between make-believe and reality. There is no such thing as reality. There is only what people believe. If people believe something is true, it
is. If they don't, it isn't, it doesn't
exist. This is best exemplified by the Chinese concept of "face" or
lien.

A TIME FOR CELEBRATING WESTERN CIVILIZATION |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Monday, 12 October 2009 |
The second week of October offers a triad of heroic
anniversaries worth celebrating by any admirer of Western Civilization.
Yesterday, October 11, was time to celebrate the 1,277th
anniversary of the Battle of Tours in 732 AD, when Charles Martel (686-741),
forever known as The Hammer, and his 30,000 Christian soldiers crushed an
invading horde of 200,000 Moslem Jihadis in what is now central France.
Tomorrow, October 13, is for celebrating the 84th
birthday of the great Lady Champion of Liberty,
the most heroic woman of the 20th century, Margaret Thatcher.
The story of how she, with Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, saved Western
Civilization from Soviet Communism is told in Now There Is One
(April 2005).
Today, October 12, is for celebrating the 517th
anniversary of Columbus' discovery
of America. We
commemorate this as a true discovery in contrast to all the claims of Vikings,
Chinese, Irish, and others who supposedly came earlier - for once and only
after Columbus discovered America,
it stayed discovered.
Unfortunately, Columbus Day is for most Americans just an excuse for a
three-day weekend. What it should be is a commemoration and celebration
of Western Civilization - which is why the Left hates Columbus
and his holiday.

A MAGICAL REFUGE |
|
|

There is a magical island where everything grows - forests of fir, cedar, and sycamore trees along with forests of giant tropical tree ferns, fields of corn and fields of taro (the starchy staple of Polynesia - Hawaiian poi is made from taro), and every kind of flower in riotous abundance.
Orchards produce every kind of fruit from tropical to citrus. Herds of cows produce every dairy product including fabulous cheeses - and great steaks. Due to its unique ocean location, the sea swarms with fish and seafood. It's on a main migration route for sperm whales and a dozen types of dolphins. The sport fishing, such as for blue marlin, is fantastic. So is the trout fishing in the mountain streams.
So is the golf, the sailing, the scuba-diving, the surfing, the hiking on mountain trails to hidden waterfalls and hot springs. The coastline is dotted with beaches, picturesque fishing villages, and tiny coves with natural rock swimming pools. The interior is dotted with crater lakes, among which is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
Temperatures are in the mid-60s in the winter and mid-70s in the summer, the sun shines most every day, when it rains it usually pours for 15 minutes then out comes the sun again. There are neither snakes nor mosquitoes. Nor is there any pollution - the air is sparkling clear, the land preserved spotlessly clean by the islanders. The place is so peaceful it's virtually crime-free.
The beer the islanders make is good, the wine even better. The islanders are friendly, hospitable, devoutly Christian, and proud members of Western Civilization. A great many speak English, but there are not a great many of them. They number 150,000 spread out over 300 spectacularly scenic square miles.
They love liberty so much they've had this motto emblazoned on their coat of arms for centuries: Rather die free than live in peaceful subjugation.
You can fly here from the US East Coast in four hours for 300 bucks. If you're looking for a Plan B refuge - or just a momentary escape - from ObamaLand, this magical place could be it.

REPEAL 1913 |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
|
|
Thursday, 01 October 2009 |
One of the more fascinating features of To The Point is the Users Forum, where TTPers share their insights
and expertise. An excellent example
is the recent (9/26) thread initiated by "Spartan" - Van Kottis - in
commemoration of his 1,000th (!) TTP post.
He asks for suggestions on what TTP can do to help the
TeaParty movement focus its opposition to Zeroism. I have two.
The first is to offer specific language that explicitly
defines what conservatives are for
(not simply against) government-wise.
I.e., we stand for not simply "limited government" but constitutionally
limited government.
This means we want to restore constitutional limitations on
central government. It means to go on
the constitutional offensive against laws Congress has no authority to pass and
regulations the federal bureaucracy has no authority to enforce.
The second is to form a movement to repeal 1913.
Just between you and me (can you keep a secret?), it's actually
a movement to repeal progressivism,
repeal the entire liberal-left agenda, but we need a specific target to
focus upon.
