Prime's Worm Hole : The "Gumpian Reality" of the left

The "Gumpian Reality" of the left

In the midst of all that has followed since last Saturday's shootings in Tucson, much has been said as it concerns the attacks on talk radio, Sarah Palin and supposedly incendiary rhetoric from the right, but little has been said to address the outright idiocy and danger in the responses of many on the left.

As an example, South Carolina's representative James Clyburn.

"The shooting is cause for the country to rethink parameters on free speech, Clyburn said from his office, just blocks from the South Carolina Statehouse. He wants standards put in place to guarantee balanced media coverage with a reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine, in addition to calling on elected officials and media pundits to use ‘better judgment.’

‘Free speech is as free speech does,’ he said. ‘You cannot yell ‘fire’ in a crowded theater and call it free speech and some of what I hear, and is being called free speech, is worse than that.’"

Obviously, representative Clyburn has missed the larger point of the minor missive of "Gumpian logic" that he is attempting to cite as justification for his position. Perhaps he missed the full quote of Forrest, or perhaps he simply missed the point that it applies to him too.

Representative Clyburn has by an inadvertent means, drawn a clear parallel between what is really afoot in many corners of congress today and the thinking of those who were elected to support the people's better interests.

If 'stupid is as stupid does'? Is there any better example of the applied adage, than that of rep. James Clyburn as he attempts to justify abandoning the constitution for an expeditious re-write of the first amendment? I think not. With the possible exception of one Georgia congressman (Hank Johnson), who actually believes that the addition of 8000 Marines and their families to the island of Guam, will cause the island to capsize.

If Americans want to know what is truly wrong with their government, all they need do is to look at some of the people that have been elected by their neighbors to have a voice in the making of the laws that govern us all. And the really scary part, is not that James Clyburn or Hank Johnson exist as sitting United States congressional representatives. The scary part, is that they are not anomalies. They have company. And until recently? They and their compatriots made up a large portion of the Pelosi led majority that has marched us to the edge of the great abyss of financial and moral collapse as a nation.

As the days and weeks roll by, the circumstances surrounding the tragedy in Tucson will subside, but the efforts of the left to attempt to throttle all opposing opinion and argument won't. They will continue to seek (by any means necessary) to control all speech in America and they will continue to attempt to further limit the freedoms of the America that they do not understand. An America that they in fact hate and find repulsive to their own twisted socialist surrealist ideals.

Make no mistake America, as Benjamin Franklin once wisely counseled, "those who would trade freedom for security deserve neither." And we as a nation are in the midst of seeing the consequences of that warning played out before our eyes.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Our rights to free speech are under attack along with our other rights as enumerated in the constitution. The shooting in Tucson is but merely the latest vehicle to be driven through the gates of liberty in the liberal left's ongoing attempts to destroy your freedoms. Whether or not they succeed is up to the people. We the people. The same people (and their posterity) spoken of as having the right and authority to rein in and control government. And the means to do that lies squarely in our constitution and bill of rights.

I pray that we as a nation, do not allow those seeking the safety of their illusion of "Nirvanic security" to destroy it, while 'we the people' sit idly by and allow it to happen.

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.
