Martha Stewart on Sarah Palin

I heard Martha Stewart speak today, on the subject of Sarah Palin. And as I did, I wondered if dear, ole, Martha realized what an extreme and fecking radical dingbat she is, does she not realize that she is pretend and Sarah Palin does real things?

And, she, Martha Stewart, can not even carry water for Sarah Palin? Why would Martha Stewart spout such moronic verbiage? Ah well, the world is going nuts lads and lassies; I suggest we all keep our powder dry. Strange things going on in the world. Now if Michael Schumacher comes out of retirement, then all bets are off.

Martha Stewart, what a dingbat. She has played in the cake dough too long. She would not know an American if she met one.

Illegal Immigration

The Bonnie Blue Flag

It is a wonderful thing to be a Southerner... I hear rumours, out and about, that we might just try it all again.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin. I like her a lot, her and Ron Paul the only two honest political figures in America right now. Take note that both socialist Democrats and the Neo-Con Republicans attack her and seek to destroy her. This is absolute positive proof she is a bona fide player. They are scared a real American just might obtain some power.

well-known Know-nothing, Naomi Wolf, who Hates Sarah Palin... wonder why? Could one of these ladies have a real life and the other one have a fake life?

Yes, I do know those are strong words, but that’s all true. She is a real American with real American thoughts. The criticisms against her are insane, beneath response. I smile every time I see her on the TV, she is fighting the good fight, against an ill, secular, society. I wish her well. I hope she kicks them in the nuts.

Traditionalism The New Revolution

The Left in America and Europe has largely rejected both patriotism and nationalism in favor of an anti-traditional cosmopolitanism: bringing people together by destroying their historic identities, whether religious or ethnocultural or of whatever other kind. If we were all alike, we would not fight any more—no more shooting wars, culture wars, or bitter political disputes. Unfortunately, these leftists do not seem to consider how much cultural, political, or real warfare must take place in order to make everyone alike.

The Perfect Song

The best song of the 1960s. Well, it would have to be from Lennon and McCartney of course. It is subjective.

My vote would be HELP. Not only for our special decade, but for our Century. This version, the first time the Beatles played it live on stage, John messes up the lyrics you will notice, on second verse he just makes fill in noises as he forgot his own song. No matter, these guys are the best ever, the very best of their time and all times. They are and were so many, many, light years ahead of earth, one can not even speak of the matter.

Anythin Goes

Now I want all you Lads and Lassies to listen up. Mr Porter is going to tell you what's what and what is (going on). More true now than the day his talented noodle wrote it. Enjoy children.



BTW... for all of you in north Dublin and Pontotoc, Mississippi, who can not speak the King's English, here is the lyrics fer ye... tell me, is more true now than every????????

Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today, Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.

Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything Goes.

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes

When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
Anything Goes.

When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
Anything Goes.

If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose!
When every night,
The set that's smart
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios,
Anything Goes.

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes

If saying your prayers you like,
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like,
If back stairs you like,
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like,
Why nobody will oppose!

And though I'm not a great romancer
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes...
Anything goes!

HELL

Catholic Humour

One Sunday morning, the priest noticed Little Johnny was staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. It was covered with names, and small American flags were mounted on either side of it.

The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the priest walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning, Little Johnny."

"Good morning, Father," replied the young man, still focused on the plaque. "Father, what is this?" Little Johnny asked.

"Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service."

Soberly, they stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Johnny's voice was barely audible when he asked, "Which service, the 8:30 or the 11:00?"

28th Amendment to the Constitution

Proposed 28th Amendment

This is a great idea. Only need 3/4 of the State Legislatures to pass this to become law...AND IT IS VETO PROOF including no appeal to the Supreme Court.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States".

Let's get this passed around - Congress has brought this upon themselves!!!

Dr Spock and Children

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem. We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay. (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide)

On Speaking Irish

I can speak Irish fairly well. One should say, I can speak Gaeilge or Gáidhlig, fairly well, as those are the real names of the language. Not to get too complex, but calling the language 'Irish' is a modern political phenomenon, designed to broaden the appeal of speaking Gaeilge, actually there's more to this name business, but I digress.

Speaking Irish I find very satisfying. I've never really studied the language in a formal academic manner that would lead one to a degree. I just speak it, read it, etc., as time allows each day. I have done a summer time course back in 1981, the type where you spend a month in the Gaeltacht. Most of the Irish I have I picked up from just listening and talking to people in Ireland.

Why you ask? Why would a Mississippi lad learn Gaeilge (said Gale-ga). Well, I am a Gael, in the ethnic sense, my people, the McCains, are from mid Argyll, in the Scottish Highlands. They moved to Donegal in the 1500s. There were many Scottish Gaels relocating to parts of Ulster in those years, this was part of the ebb and flow of politics and wars going on with the English. They, the McCains, clann Mhic Eáin, would have spoken Argyll Gaelic, which was not too far removed from the Ulster Gaelic that I speak. I descend from Gaeldom.

Circa anno domini 1400
Gaelic speaking areas are in blue in the map. This map shows how widely Gaelic was spoken in Scotland, even in parts of what are now called 'the Lowlands' at this point in time. Ireland and the 'blue' areas of Scotland in the map, were all part of Gaeldom.

Scot's Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are the same language, each being a dialect of the tongue. Irish Gaelic is the western dialect and Scots Gaelic is the eastern dialect. Ulster Gaelic shares some qualities of Scots Gaelic, or one could say Ulster Gaelic has been influenced by the eastern dialect, because of the interaction of Scottish Gaels in Ulster circa 1500 onward.

I personally, do not think you can really understand Gaelic society, without speaking Gaelic at least at a minimal level. Gaelic is a door, you learn it, and the door opens. You enter the wonderful, beautiful, world of the Gael. It gives meaning and quality. Those are very good things.

It is not hard to learn Gaelic, people are doing it all over the world now, in everywhere Gaels have settled, in the Diaspora as it is called. I recommend it highly.

Gaelic is a more powerful language than is English. I would need to take many words to explain that rather strong statement. Gaelic has retained something, has retained values, that English has lost. It largely has to do with the nature of English; it is spoken by so many people and societies not connected to the history of English, that one aspect. Gaelic is still connected, by blood, to its origins, and that gives it great power. I think everyone of Gaelic ancestry should learn Gaelic, it will make your children happy, your love life improve, make you immediately interesting (that's hard to do with some of you), and could very likely land you into some pleasant predicament in your life.

Micro Secession

Quotation below from Leopold Kohr's most seminal work The Breakdown of Nations.

"WHENEVER SOMETHINGS IS WRONG, SOMETHING IS TOO BIG."

As the physicists of our time have tried to elaborate an integrated single theory, capable of explaining not only some but all phenomena of the physical universe, so I have tried on a different plane to develop a single theory through which not only some but all phenomena of the social universe can be reduced to a common denominator. The result is a new and unified political philosophy centering on the theory of size. It suggests that there seems only one cause behind all forms of social misery: bigness...

There seems to be only one cause behind all forms of social misery: bigness. Oversimplified as this may seem, we shall find the idea more easily acceptable if we consider that bigness, or oversize, is really much more than just a social problem. It appears to be the one and only problem permeating all creation.Whenever something is wrong, something is too big. And if the body of a people becomes diseased with the fever of aggression, brutality, collectivism, or massive idiocy, it is not because it has fallen victim to bad leadership or mental derangement. It is because human beings, so charming as individuals or in small aggregations have been welded onto overconcentrated social units. That is when they begin to slide into uncontrollable catastrophe. For social problems, to paraphrase the population doctrine of Thomas Malthus, have the unfortunate tendency to grow at a geometric ratio with the growth of the organism of which they are part, while the ability of man to cope with them, if it can be extended at all, grows only at an arithmetic ratio. Which means that, if a society grows beyond its optimum size, its problems must eventually outrun the growth of those human faculties which are necessary for dealing with them.

Hence it is always bigness, and only bigness, which is the problem of existence. The problem is not to grow but to stop growing; the answer: not union but division.

Fourth Generation Theory

I suggest all of us research Fourth Generation Theory. I have a feeling we are headed that direction sooner rather than later.

Ancestors

I am in the final stages of writing a memoir on my 40 year odyssey to find my people in Ireland and Scotland, a successful odyssey I should add. All made possible through Y chromosome DNA testing and many hours of research in the primary source records of Argyll and Ireland. It is absolutely amazing how genetic genealogy allows one to search one's past, recover lost family history, locate your cousins on the other side of the water. My story is a Gaelic one, Gaels from Kilmichael Glassary in Argyll, who moved to Ireland in the 1500s, and then to the Colonies in 1718.

It was a long journey and a good one. I learned Gaelic along the way, have travelled many times across the sea to the homelands of the Gael. It has been very satisfying reconnected with distant cousins in Ireland and Scotland.

Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney are insane?

Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney, are they insane? Let's see, Newt Gingrich endorsed Scozzafava, a radical leftist, in her run for Congress and Dick Cheney endorsed Kay Bailey Hutchison in her disgraceful bid to unseat the very successful Governor Rick Perry. The mind boggles, as in is it even possible to be that out of touch with conservatives in American. What were those two Jaybirds thinking about?

There are other aspects of this very queer state of affairs. The bombastic White House complains about Fox News, complaining they are spokesmen for the 'Republican' party. They are seemingly totally unaware that an increasing number of real Americans see the Republicans as the problem, nearly as odious as the Socialist in power. Bush and Cheney exploded government spending, implemented many socialist programs, let the third world invade us, they differ from Obama only in degree. Fox News is certainly no friend of conservatives and do their utmost to marginalise Ron Paul and others of his ilk. A very queer state of affairs.

There is such a profound disconnect, lake of awareness, etc., to the actual political feelings of Real America, by both parties, as I say, it boggles to the mind. The traditional thought here in Anglo-Celtic America is that the Republicans are the Stupid Party and the Democrats are the Evil Party, and that seems to increasingly true. However, Dumb and Dumber might be a more appropriate way to describe these to blights upon our country.

The Democrats, socialist as they are, at least have leadership. There is no keel, rudder, nor helm on the Republican ship. I've been news-fasting again, I just can't take it anymore. I'll listen to Ron Paul and Sarah, when I need a dose of reality. Ron Paul should be our president, he's the only lad with gumption on the national political scene.

All this does not bode well. I have a feeling that we have a Singularity looming toward us.

However in the real word, it is a beautiful day here in the wooded hills of north Mississippi. Not all is well, the deer wiped out my collards in two successive raids, proving that they are Rats with Antlers. Advent approaches, and I intend to live a good life.
