STUCK ON STUPID |

Up until election day in 2008, I could not make myself believe that a majority of American voters were suicidally stupid enough to elect a Hate America Empty Suit (O=Zero, June 2008) as their president.
The choice between him and an obnoxious Rino jerk like McCain was ridiculous. It was nonetheless a no-brainer, as McCain was for all his flaws a patriotic American with no intention to harm and impoverish his country on purpose. Ever since, I chalked up their choice three long years ago to a spasm of temporary insanity. Until now.
Surely, the American people will come to their senses, I was convinced. Now I am wondering, what if they no longer have any senses to come back to? Did they shoot their bolt of rationality with the congressional and state elections in 2010, then lapse into political derangement as before?
I am, of course, talking about...

THE PILGRIMS WERE THANKFUL FOR THE BOUNTY OF CAPITALISM |

On Thanksgiving Day, Americans gather with their family and
friends to celebrate the blessings that Providence
has bestowed on their beloved country.
A deep appreciation of these blessings involves
understanding that they were earned. It is to understand the awesome truth of how
"God helps those who help themselves" applies to the Mayflower Pilgrims and
their First Thanksgiving at America's
birth.
This is an appreciation and understanding of which those on
the Left are incapable - for it would mean celebrating the capitalist freedom
that made that original Thanksgiving possible.
This no liberal, no Democrat, no leftie can do. Thus they must distort history instead.
The distortion starts in Kindergarten, with the childish make-believe
of your kid's school play portraying the noble Squanto teaching the helpless Pilgrims
how to feed themselves. So let's drop the curtain on the distortion and
watch the real thing. Here it is.

CHRISTIANITY’S FRONT LINES |

Oshogbo, Nigeria.
We are here in the Osun Sacred Grove, dedicated to the
Yoruba goddess of fertility, Osun (pronounced like ocean), and designated as a
World Heritage Site. We are alone and
have the place to ourselves.
Nigeria
is devoid of visitors. The only
foreigners are diplomats, international bureaucrats, and oil or oil-related
businessmen. They consider it so
dangerous to be here that they require a police escort to take them from their
hyper-expensive hotel in Lagos
(where all business is done) to the airport.
The thought that a lone American would get a plain car and
driver to take him 300
kilometers north of Lagos
strikes them as lunacy. Yet that's just
what I've done - with no problems in the slightest.
It is a revelation being here. I've been a lot of places in Africa,
but Nigeria is Africa
on steroids. More relevantly, Nigeria
is where Christianity is on steroids. If
you want to see where Christianity, every variant of it, is alive, muscular and flourishing like
nowhere else on earth, here is where you come.
Here is where you find the front lines between Christianity and Islam. Here is where Sharia Islam is going to lose.

HOW OBAMA IS AFRICAN |

Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.
It took coming here, to the darkest pit of hellhole Africa, for it to
finally dawn on me who Zero really is, to what total extent he isn't American
at all, but African.
Freedom
House, in its 2011 Worst of the Worst report, highlights Equatorial
Guinea as "one of the world's most
repressive societies." Its dictator,
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo,has ruled since 1979, declared himself to be his
country's God who "can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account
and without going to hell" in 2003, and last January was elected by leaders of
the 54 member-states of the African Union (AU) to be its Chairman.
Obiang uses his country's oil revenue as his personal piggy
bank, enriching his friends and family while the average citizen of his country
lives on $1 a day. But there is nothing
at all exceptional about him.
He is
merely yet another example of what in Africa are called Big Men - narcissistic
charismatic sociopaths who gain power however they can, never let go of it,
look upon themselves as demi-gods for whom ordinary morality does not apply,
utterly convinced they deserve to be worshipped with total obedience, and to
live in complete extravagance while being completely indifferent to the poverty
of others.
Remind you of anyone in America?

GORILLAS, PYGMIES, AND THE FRENCH |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Bangui, Central African Republic. Pygmies are the original Africans. Africa
was populated almost exclusively by them for millennia. Then came larger folks like the Bantu who
exterminated them, pushed them deep into the rain forests of Central
Africa, and enslaved them.
There are now only a few groups of Pygmies left, scattered in pockets of
the densest jungles, still practicing the original human way of life, hunting
and gathering.
There are three kinds of gorillas.
The giant hairy kind you see in zoos, and the thuggish human kind who
rule over other people as "Big Men." Africa
has plenty of both. Then there's the
French colonial gorilla, which still has control over Francophone Africa.
The poster child for the French gorilla is the CAR. Of all of Africa's
capital cities, this one is at the bottom of the Dark Continent's
barrel. Most of the city's streets are
dirt with more potholes than road, what few streets are paved are more of an
asphalt quilt riddled with bumpy pothole patches, most buildings are decrepit,
there isn't one new modern building or establishment of any kind.
So why am I here? To arrange an
astoundingly awesome expedition. There
is a hidden pocket of the southwest CAR where it, Cameroon,
and Congo-Brazzaville come together.
This three-country region is the most uninhabited area in all
Sub-Saharan Africa. Save for two small
villages of a few hundred, no one lives there except for pygmies and gorillas -
tens of thousands of gorillas, outnumbering humans at least 100-1.
This only hints at the extraordinary profusion of wildlife. No one knows about it. And now I know how to take you there.
