SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."     (It's not about hunting ducks.)

***************************************************************************

Blowing off steam:

The events at the United Nations that transpired in February and early March should mark a watershed in our relationship with the organization and the world “community”.  This diplomatic breakdown has, in my opinion, been building for decades, beginning with relational pressures that developed, and were suppressed, over the long hard years of the Cold War.   The collapse of the Soviet Union created a seismic shift in the national priorities of many countries, and it has taken this much time, and a number of subsequent events, for the process to manifest itself in such a dramatic fashion.  Mistakes were made under the three Administrations since 1989, and some national self examination is warranted.   Could the current administration have taken a different tack?  Yes. Other than what happened,

(A) we could have rolled over to the international “community” and leased  ourselves out to their service as an international rent-a-cop, which our own left wing seems to prefer, or

(B) we could have ignored them altogether and had this matter with Iraq over 6 months ago.   I would have preferred (B); I have no use for the United Nations and, indeed, consider our continued attempts to coddle them as having a corrosive effect on our own Constitutional prerogatives and responsibilities.   In a continued manifestation of what the President regards as “compassionate conservatism, what he did was

(C) throw the one worlders a fish, and, predictably, they didn’t catch it.  With the institutional incompetency of the United Nations “under fire” now totally exposed, the United States has recaptured the opportunity, for the first time since 1913, to operate on the international stage, without apology, according to our own proper Constitutional priorities of national self defense.  I consider this to be a huge victory.  The prisms through which we should now examine the UN, NATO, the WTO, the EU and the “World Court” are now all different.  Of course we could screw it up, but I hope the Bush Administration comes to realize its own created opportunities.  Meanwhile, the American left is terrified at the prospect of losing their grip on the private sector engines of wealth, and their precious tax base (control).   Aside from the fact that the real “driver” in all these schedule delays has been an emaciated military preparedness, procurement and logistics capability (deliberately by OJ Billy Boy?), the covering diplomatic fandango has had its own utility.  Perhaps George W. Bush has understood what he has been up to all along.  I remain concerned about the dangers his critics pose to him.   One would hope that after two years he has learned something about dealing with the hard core Liberals in Congress, and now the UN, and Jocko Shearock.  Of course he is trusting in his Faith, and, in that regard, I don’t think he’s too far off target. 

There is a common thread that is woven through the fabric of all the foreign and domestic objections to this Administration’s policies towards Iraq and the War on Terrorism.   Many of those who are objecting seem to be consumed with hate, not toward the America of their fantasies, but toward a Conservative trending President who is functioning on the premise of moral certitude, and who accepts seriously his sworn Constitutional responsibilities as President.  This is a new experience for most people alive today, and many are unsure what to make of it.  The usual cynical attributions don’t work, and critical analysis framed on substance is largely a lost discipline. The fact is that those who put down Christianity, who are consumed

by the postmodernist Liberal premise of moral relativism, and the personal convenience of “non-judgmentalism”, are confronted by an American President who actually has a moral foundation and takes his responsibilities seriously.    Those who are trying to tuck this country under various forms of world government need to be routed out, and Americans of that persuasion need to be identified as the subversives that they are.  The left is further terrified at the prospect of an America slipping away from the control of international institutions, and their ability to confiscate our wealth.   America is about freedom, and to the left, that is really a very scary thought.  God Bless America, and American Cowboys, who live and think free, and Conservatives who mean what they say and do what they mean.  Furthermore, God bless Texas.

Those who suggest that Iraq is all about oil are correct: French and Russian oil, and German technology.   What the same folks won’t admit to is the real issue of western security against an Islamic challenge in a Baathist tent, and freedom.   The first Constitutional responsibility of the President of the United States is to defend this country.   It is up to Russia, Germany and France to defend, and justify, their own business deals and the associations that they keep.

As an American Nationalist Conservative, I do not subscribe to the notion of advancing an unqualified American Empire, but I would prefer, rather, to focus in on a reconstruction and preservation of our own Constitution.   I have some concern about an absence of critical thinking on the part of some conservatives with respect to where we are ultimately going.  Our political, military and economic resources are, in fact, finite.  Our purpose should be confined to protecting our national interest, narrowly defined, and the temptation to be get sloppy about this point must be checked.   In the future I would hope that we would be well regarded for our wisdom and our temperance, not our indulgence.

Corrections:

A comment is necessary about Tony Blair, who has consistently come across to me, ideologically, as a British O J Billy Boy.    While that concern remains, it would now appear that he is personally a man of great political instinct.  While there is no reason to believe he has abandoned his Liberal/Statist political orientation, it must be acknowledged that he cannot be accused of being poll driven.   On the Iraqi issue he has stood by the United States and the President at great, perhaps personally fatal political risk.   One must wonder why.   Is it possible that, in the end, Tony Blair is smart enough to recognize that, for the British, a choice must be made between the historic Anglo American relationship, and the uncertainties of attachment to a continental Europe in the throes of self immolation?   The problem of survival concentrates the mind.    Mr. Blair’s concern for legacy, both national and personal, has displayed a spark of sense.  The bigger problem, of course, is Great Brittan itself, and the danger of its melting into the EU saucepan.  Perhaps a Texas barbeque, or two, might help Mr. Blair continue to sort this out.  However, it remains to be seen that Britain will ever understand its American progeny.

Bush Score Card:

            Good Job:

The American people are with you, and with the troops.  God Bless them, and you.  I am so very proud of our armed forces, and I am sorry I cannot be with them.                   

            Not So Good:

You know, Mr. President, I think that business of the North Korean freighter carrying Scud missiles to Yemen was badly mishandled.  We need to get down and dirty with this kind of thing.   A local radio blackout followed by a single torpedo very very far off shore, followed by total diplomatic silence (no affirmation or denial) on our part, would have had a sobering effect on several parties who are much in need of an attitude adjustment. The explanation by Yemen that these missiles were being legally purchased for defensive purposes is absurd; it is not a defensive weapon.   I am not convinced that our own lacy pants State Department didn’t come up with that story as a cover up.  You really need to get all those Clintonista holdovers out of Foggy Bottom.  We are in a War against Terrorism and you have correctly identified an Axis of Evil.    You need to get the rest of your Administration on board.   As you know, the same freighter has now moved a load of sodium cyanide from Germany back to North Korea.  Remind your advisors in the State Department that international law recognizes the national right of self defense, as does our own Constitution.

Terrible--or even worse:

The borders still leak profusely, the size of government continues to grow and Fidel Castro is still in power.   Worse yet, you are a reluctant warrior in the battle against reverse racism.

Wall Street & Main Street:

One should realize that Alan Greenspan’s various pronouncements are deeply colored by his deep personal investment in Big DC Government, including the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the IRS and extreme fractional reserve banking.   I have long believed this enormous house of cards is in trouble, and in many respects it is out of control.  The truth is that when Alan pushes a button here and pulls a lever there he has no idea of the consequences to follow.  I would suggest that we can’t edge our way back to a free market soon enough.  I would also suggest that those who are merely content to cut taxes and reform the code are really in the position of enabling the snake, and one would wonder at their motives.   These issues need to be addressed head on.

It is convenient to be able to blame the uncertainties related to the Middle East situation for the continued deterioration of the markets.   I predicted last Fall the possibility of a 3000 Dow, and I think it is still possible.  Of course I would prefer to be wrong.    Whatever the right number eventually proves to be, the market will turn around after it rediscovers true values.   It is no doubt proving to be a very difficult and painful lesson for those raised on the philosophy of “All the gold in California”.   We have already seen evidence that the market will strengthen with a successful campaign in Iraq, but Iraq, unresolved, has been only one of several issues dragging the market down.  The market generally is still oversold.  Some specific opportunities are beginning to appear, but be careful and do your homework.

With respect to the current tussle over the Federal budget and tax policy, one needs to be alert to the code words as Liberals continue their attempt to undermine the President.   Keep in mind that no Democrat ever saw new tax revenue that he didn’t like, or a social spending program that didn’t add up to opportunity.   For Democrats to complain now about deficit spending is a smoke screen to cover their real concern of limited ability to increase new social programs.   The complaint about tax cuts is the same, and they can’t stand being tethered to a short twitch.   Unlike Lyndon Johnson, George W. Bush understands that you can’t fight a war and give away gumballs at the same time.    He also understands, as JFK did, that enhanced tax revenue is the product of tax rate cuts.   You goose the economy by cutting tax rates, which always results in tax revenue growth.  Every time.   That tax revenue growth, coupled with spending restraint, is how government deficit conditions are contained and defeated.   Democrats, who pander to tax eaters, don’t like this combination because it directly undercuts their ability to lure people into dependency

on government.  Some Democrats are complaining that Bush is not asking for enough money to fight the war so as to bolster their argument against tax cuts.  Don’t be fooled.    Spending bills to support the war effort, if not constrained to the stated purpose, can include all kinds of trinkets under the rubric of “security”, which ought to be in state budgets anyway.  States went on a drunken spending binge during the 90’s that they now want Federal taxpayers to cover.  The answer is NO.

I think there is some confusion abroad in the land, perhaps deliberately so on the part of some, about this “one world” business.   When the far left demonstrates and complains about “globalism”, and the “global economy”, it should be understood that their real target is multinational corporations, which they perceive as capitalism run amuck.  These same people are 110% supportive of “world government” and any international institution that furthers the cause of undermining nationalism, capitalism and the private sector.   As an American National Conservative, I have long been troubled by multinational corporations stumbling into coincident purposes with “world government” types.  (e.g., prior to its collapse, Enron, as a natural gas supplier, was in bed with O J Billy Boy on the Kyoto treaty issue).   Fixed on their primary purpose of making profits, multinational corporations sometimes engage in cultural appeasement with left wing forces, and governments, which will never work, and one would hope that Bill Gates has learned something of this in recent years.  Kumbya.  One need only point to the Ford Foundation, and others, to

understand my point.  Libertarians, who hate God and religion, typically are the ones in charge of these big multinationals and they defend unqualified “free trade” on the grounds that it will eventually make good guys out of bad guys.   Try to sell that idea to women in Saudi Arabia and Iraq or Christians in China.  From my perspective, “globalism” is the highest stage of government and “top down” Statist control run amuck.  I am a Nationalist because I choose to draw a line in the sand.   A properly ordered nation state is culturally integrated, and economically viable.  I am not against genuinely free international trade, but that trade must not subvert the security or culture of the nation.  I continue to have a fundamental concern about a frustrated left wing forced, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, to give up on the communist model of socialism (government ownership of the means of production) and, instead, shifting over to the fascist model of co-opting the private sector through regulation and taxes.  The big multinationals are particularly vulnerable, and politically they have tunnel vision.  Their tendency to accommodate whoever and whatever appears to facilitate the fastest route to profits carries the danger, in the longer run, of evolving into an economic fascist model.   Let me reiterate that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are a lot of frustrated communists running around looking for a new Statist model.    Favorite dodges include pseudo “environmentalism” and “animal rights”.    But if the outright ownership of the means of production fell flat, the next best thing is the control of large private corporations through regulation and taxation.   The US Federal income tax system has long since evolved into the primary tool of social engineering by American leftists.   We are already well underway with the process of evolving a soft fascist system, totally inconsistent with the founding principles of American Conservatism.  Now as a Conservative, I am a capitalist and a free market guy.  As an American Conservative I subscribe to a narrow interpretation of the Constitution as envisioned by the Founders.   As an American Nationalist Conservative I propose the need to proactively reconstruct and defend these principles in the context of the American Nation, historically understood.  Someday, you will understand.  Insofar as corporations are concerned, we need to lift the taxation and the punitive regulation and then consider guard rails that protect the national security and culture.  Otherwise, it would also be helpful if we could get Larry Kudlow to go to Church.

Ad Nausium:

At a time when, I suppose, he thinks nobody is paying attention, Hollywood icon Fidel Castro has arrested 59 opponents of his government, apparently for the crime of engaging in a dialog with an American diplomat in Havana.   Meanwhile, the American press is falling all over itself reassuring protesters in this country of their First Amendment rights.  Nobody I know disputes those rights, but I am free to exercise the same rights in suggesting that perhaps we should offer our protesters one way tickets to Cuba in exchange for some political research, including what happens to Cuban dissenters.   Furthermore, I would suggest to the Bush Administration that Cuba should be added to the Axis of Evil list.   As for the protesters, pending their relocation to Cuba, they could be allowed to pitch their tents in the hold of a garbage barge anchored in the shadow of the Statute of Liberty, given to us by the French who never have actually understood what they were doing. 

In the spring of 1951 General Douglas Macarthur observed that “there is no substitute for victory”.  He was right.  In the spring of 1991, Secretary of Defense Colin Powell urged President George H.W. Bush to temporize on pursuing the Iraqi Republican Guard.  He was wrong.   In the Winter of 2002/03 the same Colin Powell, as Secretary of State, has urged diplomacy in the absence of victory,  This time he not only has had it wrong, he’s got it backwards.  True peace is first the product of military victory.  Diplomats sign the papers, and like college professors, generally have too much time on their hands.  The only constructive result that can be forthcoming from this diplomatic fandango with the United Nations will be its permanent consignment to irrelevance, long overdue.  Colin Powell should be promoted to Ambassador to France, and Paul Wolfallfits made Secretary of State.   Since 1950 one shudders to consider the number of American combat casualties directly attributable to the failure to understand this point.  The theory that in the atomic age everyone needs equal access to the ability to commit mischief eventually will prove to be disastrous.    What we really ought to do is kick the U.N. ought of the country.  I have previously suggested Iceland.

On January 1 Joe Foss left us on his final flight.   Joe was a WWII hero in the true sense of the word.  He was a Marine Corps aviator who shot down 26 Japanese planes over Guadalcanal during the early days of the war.   His public and private accomplishments to the end were the mark of a remarkable American.

On March 26 Daniel Patrick Moynihan passed on to his reward.  He was the only Liberal on the national scene who was occasionally capable of sensible thought.  His party doesn’t know it, but they will miss him.

Remember that Walter Cronkite, a news commentator, and an icon of his day, was popped out of the mold of the FDR Big Government perspective.  Partly for technical reasons it was also a time when intellectual challenge in the media was tough to do.   Walter never understood the significance of Ronald Reagan.

It would appear to me that so far, at least, the Administration is pursuing the right approach with North Korea, except that they need to put a muzzle on Colin Powell who keeps giving away the store.  We enable continued mischief by responding to the tantrums of children.  We should not insert ourselves between North Korea and the regional neighbors that truly have a direct interest in regional security.  The world apparently also needs to be reminded that the original conflict was done under the auspices of the United Nations.  Notice that 50 years later the matter remains unresolved.  Today we need to speak very softly and carry a very big stick.  That is exactly what we are doing with a properly equipped naval carrier group just offshore (Colin shut up) which the Administration will not hesitate to use if necessary.  Let the new left wing South Korean government stumble around in the dark, after we quietly advise them that we think it is time to review the presence of our troops.  Expecting any help from the Chinese is wildly naive; they are licking their chops over Taiwan and have every reason to distract us and test our will.  That is the true danger of exposing the formulation of our own foreign policy to international debate; this matter in Iraq has taken too long.

One cannot fathom the motives of the French without understanding their endgame for the EU.  From the French perspective, the EU is a device through which they can harness all of Europe, and especially Germany, to the revival of themselves as an international superpower.   Trust me on something very fundamental.  As a political force, nationalism trumps internationalism every time.  International alliances are always temporary, reflecting mutual concern over a perceived mutual threat.  When that threat fades, so will the alliance.   People who take international alliances seriously, intellectually, are either children, or statists, either of the left or the right.  Think of nations as extended tribes, which the successful ones actually are.   Southeast Europe, Asia and Africa are laced with artificial “nations”, created by colonial era clerks, which can never succeed as they are laid out on the map.   This is the problem that Turkey, Iran and Iraq have with their Kurdish minorities, and, for that matter, Canada, and Iraq itself.  The French have lost their grip, and they are wallowing in envy of America.  Nothing better epitomizes them than their only aircraft carrier, the Charles De Gaulle, which is confined to port because it literally does not work.   They talk big and carry a small stick.  Remember that in WWII they surrendered without a fight and quickly agreed load up their Jews on boxcars for the trip east, while charging Polish horse cavalry broke their swords on German tanks. 

Our problem is multiculturalism and porous borders, and without a dramatic change, we are finished.

We need to be prepared for disappointment in Pakistan.  We have some very good friends there, but they are in a very difficult position.    They will need to fight their own battles with Islamicists, and I will make no bets on the outcome.  It will remain a very dangerous situation given the overlaying conflict with India, with whom, overall, we share a greater mutual interest.  We need access to Afghanistan from a different direction.

Years ago our military was directed to abandon the venerable .30-06 cal. partly in an effort to standardize with NATO.  This lead to the development of the M-14.   I now understand that a crash program is underway to pull as many M-14 rifles out of inventory as can still be located, and get them over to Iraq pronto to replace M-16s.  7.62 mm (.308 cal) ammunition, it would seem, is much better suited to the open and longer range requirements encountered in the desert than the .223 cal. M16, which is essentially a brush gun.   The M-16 replaced the M-14 in the 60’s as it was thought to be better suited for the challenges of Viet Nam.  Perhaps we should reconsider the whole matter and take advantage of new materials and manufacturing techniques to develop a new rifle for the .30-06 (one issue was the weight of the old M-1 Garand), just a wild idea on my part.  Meanwhile, there are a lot of old M-14 fans who I am sure are having quite a chuckle.   30 cal. rifles are just more effective under any circumstance, and the 30-06 is absolutely American, having proved itself now for 97 years.

The reasons, in detail, for recent Turkish behavior are complex to follow at a distance, but it must be remembered that we sort of left them out in the cold financially after the first Gulf War, and there is a credibility issue.  Today they could have used our money, but then there is the tribal thing, and their fear of a Kurdistan.  As they proceed to sort themselves out, the principles of the secular state will be severely tested.  We need to be patient here, and helpful if possible.

Apparently it needs to be explained to Democrats that the purpose of including duct tape in homeland security emergency kits is to provide for a way to tape their mouths shut under true emergency circumstances.

With our culture under assault by the feminist/PC crowd, some of us on the Right side of the fence have taken some humorously intended shots at the 19^th Amendment.  As we continue to learn about conditions under Islam, appreciation of the 19^th is reinvigorated.  However, I have not yet heard NOW release any comment on the plight of Iraqi women; it would seem that NOW would prefer to protect them from George Bush.   If NOW was honest about its purposes, it would be clamoring the Bush Administration for a priority on an invasion of Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, in Texas, the Quisling Chicks have taken a nosedive, and Texans are ashamed that they are from Texas.

The Mountain Observer supports the Rev. Al Sharpton in his bid for nomination as the 2004 candidate for President by the Dems.  He qualifies as the most honest candidate in the group as to what he is really all about.   Good luck Al !  Feel free to call on me for help.  All donations should be sent directly to the American Communist Party.   It is expected that Charles Rangel will serve as a trusted advisor.

Perhaps I can help elevate Liberal paranoia to even higher levels by again pointing out the fact that, setting aside personal quirks and unfortunate behavior, in terms of substance, Joe McCarthy was right about the extent of Communist subversion in our government and in the entertainment industry during the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.   The old Soviet files, released since 1991, are clear on this.     Joe is not needed today because suspects of the same genre are so open about their dysfunctions.

We also note the continuing fear that Democrats seem to have with the idea of Victory.  It’s really not nice to subject an enemy to the humiliation of total defeat, is it?  Need I point out that the Japanese have been very nice to us ever since we dropped a couple of atomic bombs on them?   It’s called attitude adjustment.

It also needs to be pointed out that, in spite of the best efforts of Liberals to portray it otherwise, so far the campaign in Iraq is “on plan” and going well.  The only change to the plan revolved around Turkish reticence to allowing entry through their country of large numbers of troops to set up a northern front.  The 4^th Division, therefore, has held back in Texas until a good decision on where to send them was actually required.   They will now be sent in through the Gulf.  Their equipment, on board ships in the Med, must be re-directed through to the Gulf.  Meanwhile, elements of the 101^st Airborne have deployed in the north to prepare the way on that front.   All of this is awkward, which is why the Turkish route had been preferred, but the “plan”, and our forces, are doing fine.

We witness the hypocrisy of Democrats in the nomination process of Miguel Estrada, as highly a qualified candidate for the bench as has come along in a long time.   They know it and fear it.

The national space program is in need of a serious review.   Vast gobs of money are consumed by the shuttle program, which exists to support the space station, while at the same time the space station seems to exist primarily to support the shuttle.  The purpose of all this has become a little murky, and very expensive.  I would love to see a vital space program, but I think it needs the fiscal discipline of private sector financing, management and exposure to the hazards of bankruptcy.

So far, the American people are holding on well, clearly better than an arrogant press that continues to see a need to instruct us, and the enemy.   I grow increasingly concerned about press reports and commentary from embedded reporters that are constantly giving away data and information that can only be helpful to the enemy.   The intentions of the Pentagon were good, but the issue needs to go back to the drawing board for further review before the next conflict.

If you know anyone in your neighborhood that has a family member deployed in this effort, consider offering to help them, as may be warranted, with this disruption in their lives.  It would be a great way to say “Thanks”.

Homeland Security: A Running Log of Required Corrective Actions:

1). Close the borders, at least until we regain control of illegitimate aliens currently running around loose

2). In some areas, and on certain issues, local jurisdictions are bucking certain features of the Patriot Act. Washington should be made to listen.

3).Checking bags by opening them without the owner present is a very bad idea. This must

            be ended.

4).We need to reverse immediately the paranoia against profiling.  We need to focus our examinations on the bad guys. So it also was about forcing the Administration to allow pilots to carry guns in the cockpit. The Bush Administration needs to cut loose from this left-wing loony tunes fast. 

5). English only in our schools.  Bilingual education is a fraud and a hoax, and is a pillar of the agenda of those who are erecting an internal 5^th column against us.

6). Written voter registration and testing on site, including proof of American citizenship.   An 8^th grade (by 1950’s standards) ability to read English is also reasonable to expect.    Homeland security can never be accomplished in the absence of a minimally coherent American culture.

7). Elimination of all Federal funding of education, and the Department of Education.   Actually, public education at any level is a Marxist agenda, and in the American experience it has proven to be the single largest cause of the decline of our culture and the subversion of the family.

8). An enhanced repeal of the 16^th Amendment, and the funding of Constitutionally legitimate functions of the Federal Government primarily by a flat and neutral tariff on all imports.

Prediction:

The economy will move forward on lower oil prices, but Republicans will wimp out on serious tax cuts.

Heartland rebellion update:

We really need to focus on the American 5^th column.   This issue was recently brought to the abrupt attention of the 101^st Airborne Division in Kuwait.   The politically correct mainstream press is not likely to report to you the fact that the self-confessed perpetrator is a Black American convert to Islam who changed his name and supports Iraq.  Is that relevant?  Yes, there are now thousands of them running around. Army Sgt. Asan Akbar should have faced immediate courts marshal in the field, and shot, but compassionate conservatism won the day.   Score another victory for diversity and affirmative action.

Meanwhile, another Black American by the name of Shoshana Johnson, from El Paso Texas, is a prisoner.  Pray for her.    Pray for all the prisoners, MIAs, KIAs and their families.
