The politics of straw dogs and liberal branding

Biden Claims a GOP 'Blitzkrieg' (Updated) »

If there is one thing that you can count on from liberals, the minute they run out of defense or argument for their weak and shallow positions on anything, they immediately descend into their entrenched defense of long standing. "Brand the other guys Nazis!"

I am sorry, but this dog eared argument is so stale and repetitive, that they have even come up with a contemporary term for it. It's called Godwin's law. As any discussion of politics grows longer, the probability of a liberal comparison involving Nazis or Hitler becomes an absolute certainty as their last line of defense.

Enter one VP Joe Biden into the fall fund raising fray..........

Vice President Biden is out with an alarmed e-mail cash appeal warning that the GOP will mount a “blitzkrieg” against Democrats in the fall.

Comparing GOP tactics to the fast-striking forces of Nazi Germany, Biden warns in a message sent by the DCCC today: “As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions.”

Something that hasn't been done yet, is the establishment of another law. Very similar, but different. Call it "swift boat branding" or "Kerry's dilemma. But the principle is the same, just a different angle. Anytime a democrat feels threatened by a conservative or a republican use truth and historical facts and record to oppose a liberal democrat in an election? And immediately the liberal cries fowl and claims that they have been "swift boated."

Please............

And the other tools in the kit of the average out of facts and ill prepared liberal? Rove, Cheney and Palin. Those three represent the 'axis of evil' to all committed liberal 'progressives.' When all else fails hang a dark cloud of Rove or Cheney or Palin over your argument and represent them as sinister forces and champions of the rich and big corporations.

Of late, the most recent liberal boogie man and the one they are becoming more and more vile about in their attacks daily, is the Tea party. Their favored tactic of attack on the Tea Party seems to have been to attempt to associate them with either Nazis or militia groups.

Just the same, the tactics always remain the same. Attack, demonize, brand. Then retreat and smirk like the petulant children that they really are.

“Our Democratic allies in the House need your help, and the President and I hope we can count on you to come to their defense so we can hold onto our Democratic Majority and continue moving American forward in a new direction,” Biden writes in the appeal.

I'll bet he does hope that they can continue to move forward. Of course Biden and the rest of the democrats will be a little thin on the details of benefits that their journey is taking this country. and he won't tell you that he and the rest will suddenly take left turns and veer away right before the collapse and calamity that they are steering this country to.

The news from the congressional budget office yesterday demonstrated the real truth of what is going on in this administration. It now takes 60% of our GDP to pay our rising debt and America presently is in deeper than we were during WWII. Meanwhile Obama continues to spend the money that this nation doesn't have like a house afire, wile continually finding new ways to spend more and create more debt.

And yet we have the literal village idiot (Joe Biden) out there stumping and looking like the smiling bafoon that he is and there will be millions of Americans who will buy their tripe.

Yep, go right ahead Joe. What is it that great gaffer from Washington always says? Oh...I got it now......"God love him."

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
