Prime's Worm Hole : It's an ideological battle

It's an ideological battle

According to Senator Harry Reid, as it concerns the budget debacle and the looming government shutdown. "It's an ideological battle."

Well of course it is senator. The democrats have been spending and funding ideologies for decades and now that the milk and honey has run dry, they refuse to accept the reality that their pet entitlement projects are on the chopping block or else.

"It's an ideological battle," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "It has nothing to do with the fiscal integrity of this country."

I beg the differ senator, it has everything to do with the fiscal integrity of this country. And what is absolutely amazing to me? Is that Harry Reid or any other democrat for that matter, would use the words fiscal and integrity in a sentence together. As a matter of fact, I fail to see where the word integrity could possibly be used as a descriptor of anyone currently inhabiting the halls of congress today. On either side of the isle.

Meanwhile, the government is scheduled to run out of money at midnight tonight? Really? I mean really? I could have sworn that America ran out of money in the 1970's and that we have been floating loans ever since. I know, there are those who will claim that we had balanced budgets under Bill Clinton. If anyone seriously believes that, they need to go back and have a close look and then see if they can get their heads wrapped around the concept of 'cooking the books.' Because that is precisely what has occurred, including Clinton's mush reported peace dividend. We saw where that got us didn't we.

The simple fact is this. America ran out of money a long time ago and we have been financing our government and our 'socialist programs' and our egalitarian budgets ever since, via what we could finance and borrow year to year. Paying the interest each year while we borrowed more and more. And now that the entire planet (not just America) is in deep night soil economically? The democrats want to make noises about fiscal integrity and point fingers?

Please.......

Whether the government shuts down at midnight tonight is not the issue. Where will we find the money to fund our obligations period, regardless of when and where we decide to make cuts is the issue. And Obama's ploy to veto any stop gap measure and allow the government to shut down has very poignant ramifications beyond the obvious in my opinion.

While most are focused on whether or not the government will shut down or not, the reported immediate impact of that shut down will fall immediately on the shoulders of the US military. The people who will cease to be paid effective immediately once it does shut down according to the president and his party.

The meaning of that both obviously and subliminally is not lost on me. In my opinion, Barack Obama is the most insincere and anti military president that this nation has ever elected. As such, his record and his actions concerning the US military and our personnel serving in harms way, has not been lost on veterans or those serving presently.

This man has nothing short of disdain for the American military and his actions and polices have demonstrated that fact since the moment he stepped foot in the office. Barack Obama is an anti American, anti colonialist, anti military president. That was demonstrated in his campaign rhetoric before he was ever elected. His refusal to render respect to the flag while the national anthem played. His refusal to wear an American flag pin on his jacket. His bowing and scarping before all the kings and despots in the middle east, while snubbing America's allies like the UK, France and Israel are examples that are glaring. As is his stated intent to withdraw American troops from the middle east before the end of his term, regardless of the outcome.

It has also no been lost on many Americans, that the casualty rate in Afghanistan has gone up dramatically since Obama put his generals in charge in Afghanistan and since they implemented 'his rules of engagement.' A full 60% of those killed and wounded in action in Afghanistan, are now attributable to the period of time since Barack Obama assumed office. A ten year war whose casualties have tripled in there years.

So, make no mistake, there is an obvious irony in that Obama stands prepared to cause the US government to shut down at midnight tonight and the immediate impact of that act falls squarely on the shoulders of the US military. And as a certain junior senator commented in the news yesterday, it is not lost on many that Obama did this intentionally, more than a year ago when he allowed the crisis to build to it present day culmination.

So as the government shuts down later tonight (and it will) remember who will bear the weight of that reality. Then remember which party and which president are responsible for it.

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

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.
