Is It 13 O'Clock Yet?

(For those who don't immediately get the title? Pick up a copy of Orwell's 1984)

Over the weekend, the news began to seep out that President Obama, (also known as the messianic one) has determined that one of the first tactics that he intends to pursue on the war in Afghanistan, is talks and negotiations with the Taliban.

Which I can only presume fits well with his pre-election campaign promises that he would talk with terrorist nations without any preconditions. What better place to begin his grand diplomatic adventure, than with the Taliban.

Well.....of course there is always Al Qaida, but he may not have their mailing address yet. And yes, neither one of these organizations represents a nation, but the messianic one has to begin somewhere.

In any event, the messianic one seems to think that the same initiatives pursued during the Bush administration: specifically, that we sit down and talk with our enemies, may bear fruit for our junior G man president and his still budding administration.

Obama seems to believe that the problem all along has been, that we simply haven't tried to talk to these people. After all, they must be approachable and reasonable people right? Or has the messianic one confused his observations of the previous administration's successes in Iraq, with his own seeming stumbling ability to attempt to achieve the same now. And keep in mind, Admitting to successes on any level in the Bush administration has been like nails on a blackboard. (no pun intended) to our newly minted president.

So the plan as he explains it is relatively simple. America just goes and sits down with the Taliban to talk. Much the same way we did with the disenchanted Sunnis in Iraq two years ago. And of course, even though the messianic one has stated in the past, that he would personally be open to dialogue, it will be surrogates who actually carry out these proposed negotiations. I wonder what Hillary thinks about all this, considering that she may very well wind up being the primary turd in Obama's torpedo tube of negotiations.

I'm sorry, but I have visions of Hillary riding this bull like Slim Pickens rode the bomb in Dr. Strange Love. We can maybe even call the sequel, "Stranger Than Fiction." How America abandoned all fears and learned to embrace the Jihad. (but I digress.)

Back in this dimension of reality? The (my) reality remains, that the Taliban is not comparable to the disenchanted Sunnis that the Taliban's buddies (Al Qaida) were so successful in recruiting for murder and mayhem for four years in Iraq. You see, there is a difference between being a disenchanted radicalized problematic group of "insurgents" and a deadly committed and organized Islamic organization funded by terrorist nation states all across the region.

I guess, these are just some of the little nuances that the messianic one is still trying to come to grips with, but rest assured, he isn't going to do anything without first running up his test balloons with the media. Hence his suggestion that the media go and interview General Petreus and obtain the general's thoughts and feelings on sitting down to break bread with the simple shepherds of the Afghan Pakistan border regions.

What amazes me....no scratch that! What absolutely frigging amazes me? Is that the media is so willing to continue to give this guy a pass on everything! I mean aside from the fact that the economy is going deeper into the crapper by the day and aside from the fact that Obama is making noises that in his opinion we are losing the war in Afghanistan, the media continues to give him the passes and the blank stares.

Along with the dire news of the past week, they even found the way to slip into the mainstream reporting, that the messianic one's hair seems to be frosting and besides, he has been under a lot of pressure of late. Far more than he ever envisioned and as an example, that was one of the primary reasons that he and Michelle so severely flubbed the recent state visit of the UK's Gordon Brown. It was all the stress stupid. That and the fact that he hasn't been in the gym as much since January 20th!

Meanwhile, the greatest crisis facing this nation right now, even more severe than the immediate or long term problems in Afghanistan, is that the American economy is headed on a greased rail to hell in a hand basket and the Obama-messiah is obviously clueless. And the best that the collective media can seem to muster in observation of all this, are pieces on Michelle's toned arms and how does she do that. Or isn't Mr. president looking a bit haggard of late?

Give me a break people....the man is daily giving away the game to all of the enemies of this nation. From our real enemies in the middle east to our sullen and hiding enemies in Europe, to the very tangible effects of the enemy of a black hole economy that shows no signs of ending before it consumes the entire universe as we know it.

And oh...by the way. Let's not forget the Haldron Collider in Europe. Where they may actually accomplish in reality, what the messianic one is attempting metaphorically here in our real world.

It truly is about to be a bright cold day in April, and the clocks are about to strike thirteen for real.

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.
