WE ARE ATHEISTS


INTRODUCTION

What does the term 'ATHEISTS' in the title mean? Nothing new, really. We REFUSE TO BELIEVE in the major 'articles of faith' (more on what they are later) perpetrated by the DEMS and their Main Stream Media and PUNDIT PUKE lapdogs (hereafter referred to as the Mendacious MSM and PP). That's because their LYING ways continue unabated.


BUBBYE DUBAI

We do however take note that something NEW has happened. While we have maintained in previous posts that the DEMS and/or the Mendacious MSM and PP have had a huge advantage in Share Of Voice (SOV), we've also maintained that this has had relatively little impact on their share of the American Public's Perceptions (SOP).



This no longer seems to be the case. The 'Bubbye Dubai' incident is a prime example. Here we have a case of the Mendacious MSM and PP transmitting up-front DISINFORMATION, and then BOGUS POLL RESULTS based on poll respondents having been fed this DISINFORMATION, before anyone really knew what this was all about. As a result, Congressional GOPs looking toward the 2006 Congressional Elections, stampeded without taking a second look.


This happened primarily because this time around, the DEMS and their Mendacious MSM and PP avoided fondling one or more of its OWN or the DEM BOLSHEVIK WING's 'erotic zones', and stroked a CONSERVATIVE 'zone' instead, i.e. NATIONAL SECURITY. Not that this was anything 'for REAL' or other than a 'non sequitur'.


It wasn't really about NATIONAL SECURITY, but rather about POLITICS and PROTECTIONISM and other BIG LABOR (Longshoremen??) and thus DEM and LEFTIST issues.


Keep in mind that PROTECTIONISM, NATIVISM, JINGOISM, and ISOLATIONISM are issues that also seem to thrive among some of those who are occasionally under the GOP umbrella. Such people seem to be the core of Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot supporters. Never mind that Pat Buchanan's most recent running mate Falana, is a RADICAL MARXIST. Never mind that BOTH Buchanan and Perot in previous elections vampired votes from the GOP, and thus helped to elect the KLINTONISTAS.


Given that that's the case, this occasional wing of the GOP constituency bit on the NATIONAL SECURITY bait. After all, NATIONAL SECURITY (and its potentially attendant license for PROTECTIONISM, NATIVISM, and JINGOISM) was one of THEIR 'erotic zones', and the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP fondled it.


Never mind that similar alleged 'threats to NATIONAL SECURITY' (RED CHINA's ownership of some Panama canal and LA port facilities, RED CHINA being designated as the checkers of cargo bound for the US in the Bahamas, UAE/Dubai already owning a Miami port facility, Hugo Chavez front PDVSA-Venezuela owning 13,500 US gas stations [CITGO], etc.) already existed, and if anything UAE/Dubai was actually an ally of the US in our war against TERRORISM compared to these other 'friends of the US'.


Hell, if we really feel that ALL ARABS are TAINTED, we should stop buying oil from them. Boy would THAT show them. HEH. Especially since we still seem to be reluctant to drill in ANWAR. The ENVIROPUKES obstructing ANWAR and other drilling on US territory, are probably bigger threats to NATIONAL SECURITY than UAE/Dubai.


Of course, there seems to be no sense of DISCONNECT or DOUBLE STANDARDS or HYPOCRISY on part of the DEMS, and the Mendacious MSM and PP. It's OK to suppress showing the public the 'Danish Mohammed Cartoons' (what ever happened to the 'Public's right to know'?) in deference to the 'sensitivities' of MUSLIMS (P.S. UAE/DUBAI ARABS are also MUSLIMS), but at the same time it's also OK to tar DUBAI with the 'ALL ARABS ARE POTENTIAL TERRORISTS' brush. Don't even mention passing 'middle eastern types' in airports for fear of 'racial profiling'. Boy is that principled and consistent. This kind of HYPOCRISY stinks to the high heavens.


There are some who say that if the likes of Kerry, Kennedy, Biden, Feingold, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha... etc. came into power, they'd most likely sell out the ENTIRE USA rather than just a few port facilities. They'd probably make Cindy Sheehan Secretary of Defense or Head of Homeland Security. Unfortunately, that's not all that IMPLAUSIBLE.


The SCARY thing here is that this attempt to 'push the GOP's buttons' SUCCEEDED (though this was probably more by accident more than by planning and intent), and therefore in this particular instance, validated the DEM's contention that their opposition the GOP, is abysmally STUPID. The UAE/DUBAI ports deal was essentially squashed as a result, and so was our image with one of the few ARAB STATES that support us. We guess the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP must be yukking it up (sort of like Harry Reid doing a 'jig of joy' when passage of the PATRIOT ACT was temporarily stalled).


They succeeded in hurting the US. The Congressional GOP deserves some of the credit as well.


Prior to this, the DEMS were even more abysmally STUPID. They kept on fondling their OWN 'erotic zones' (ISSUES??) using their Mendacious MSM and PP's bandwidth advantage. Surely they did not expect the GOP core to respond favorably to this??


The DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP clearly did not recognize the 'Bubbye Dubai' thing as a stroke of dumb luck (i.e. 'Even a blind pig picks up the occasional acorn.'). They chose to believe their 'alien ideology' had scored some points with the US electorate, and continued to perpetuate the folly of fondling their OWN 'erotic zones' via their bandwidth.


Maybe the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP will inadvertently stumble onto another GOP 'erotic zone', in this case ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, but somehow we tend to doubt it ('once is LUCK, twice is SKILL').


FEINGOLD'S FOLLY

An example of this was Russ Feingold (Democratic Senator,WI) calling for censure of Bush because after 9/11, Bush via the NSA chose to push the limits of Presidential Prerogatives (although testing the borders of these limits was no different from what was done by his Presidential Predecessors, and never exceeded what's called for in the Constitution) to protect US citizens from further harm. This is a classic case of flatulating in an echo chamber (i.e. the BOLSHEVIK WING of the DEM party's 'bubble') despite the resulting stench, on the part of Feingold.


Rove should send some money to Feingold (pretty much as some suggest he did with Michael Moore for 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and its contribution to BUSH's victory in 2004) as a reward for single handedly negating whatever damage may have emanated from the 'Bubbye Dubai' incident. This man (Feingold) has presidential ambitions? HEH.


SHARE OF VOICE IS STILL IMPORTANT

Nevertheless, all of this, plus the 24/7 (amounting to $150MM/year) anti-BUSH spiking and spinning and hissing and writhing of the Mendacious MSM and PP, ultimately resulted in driving BUSH's approval numbers taken by equally Mendacious POLLS into the 37% ballpark. We've heard it over and over that if you repeat LIES long enough, they begin to sound plausible.


Recognizing the 'Share Of Voice' principle, KLINTON and the KLINTONISTAS never stopped campaigning, and made MAXIMAL use of the 'bully pulpit'. Maybe there's a lesson there for the BUSHIES.


Bush finally roused himself and hit the road to make several speeches supporting the LIBERATION of IRAQ. This rather modest counteroffensive resulted in his 'approval' numbers bouncing back to the 40% ballpark (RCP average).


The fact that Bush still seems reluctant to speak on his own behalf or on behalf of his ideas, shows that he and his advisors still underestimate the power of 'Share Of Voice' to influence 'Share Of Perceptions' and ultimately 'Share Of Vote', and the fact that the 'bully pulpit' is the BUSHIE's only defense against the broadband transmission of LIES perpetrated by the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP.


As things turned out, Bush's speeches barely made it onto the 'radar' of the Mendacious MSM and PP (after spiking and spinning on their part), but apparently, enough people heard about them anyway.


Essentially, this is a replay of what happened late in 2005.



Then as now, even if we use highly BIASED Presidential Job Approval Surveys as a 'benchmark' and 'dependent variable', it's clear that judicious employment of the 'bully pulpit' to 'counter punch' has salutary effects.


This is something that Congressional GOP's should keep in mind. We all know what happened when Bush 'the elder' ROLLED OVER on 'Read my lips, no more new TAXES'. The result was 8 YEARS of KLINTONISTAS. Better to stick to one's stated principles and to use whatever means are available to keep these principles fresh in the awareness of the electorate.


ATHEISM

All the preceding leads up to the point referenced in the title of this post, i.e. that the incessant broadband pounding of the Mendacious MSM and PP has begun to have an effect on the perceptions of the electorate.


The two major LEFTIST ARTICLES of FAITH (i.e. DOGMA disseminated by the DEM's POLITBURO) regarding the IRAQ LIBERATION are as follows:



    1) There were no WMD in IRAQ in 2003. Bush knew this, and LIED to the US in order to justify an 'invasion' of IRAQ in order to:



      a) Avenge an IRAQI attempt on his father's life.

      b) For the OIL and Halliburton.



    2) There was NO connection between Saddam and Bin Laden and/or al Qaeda or any other TERRORISTS. Therefore, the LIBERATION of IRAQ actually distracts us from the main task of fighting TERRORISM.



A few years ago, most respondents contacted by people conducting surveys, indicated that they believed the OPPOSITE of these LEFTIST ARTICLES of FAITH (i.e. about 60% believed Saddam had MSM, and Saddam was connected to 9/11 and/or al Qaeda and bin Laden and other TERRORISTS).


Nothing much changed since then in terms of HARD INFORMATION (the seekers for WMD did not exactly do a thorough sweep of a land area about the size of Texas... yet they declared that 'NO WMD's exist in IRAQ!').



Nevertheless, the DEMs and the Mendacious MSM and PP continued pounding on these points incessantly with little dissent or counter argument from other quarters. As a result, the public's willingness to believe this DISINFORMATION slowly increased to the point where now about 60% claim to think these two points are true.


Both of these are DEM and/or Mendacious MSM and PP 'articles of faith' regarding which we are absolutely ATHEISTIC. Besides problems with definitions of what constitute WMD (do we need multiple silos of ICBM's with MIRV nuclear warheads in place to qualify as WMD, or will things like ANTHRAX and RICIN and small 'DIRTY' NUCLEAR DEVICES carried in suitcases do? What about hijacked 'kamikaze' driven airplanes?) and TERRORISM (are the roadside bombers in IRAQ 'insurgents' or TERRORISTS?) as well as the LOGICAL impossibility of 'proving a negative', we also base our 'lack of faith' in this DEM DOGMA on the recent appearance of the SADDAM TAPES.


Almost from the beginning (in 2003 after the fall of Baghdad) documents and tapes made by Saddam and his henchmen became available to the intelligence community. The CIA and others sat on these tapes until early this year (2006) they were compelled by Congress to release them (although WHO KNOWS how much of this stuff was redacted).


Why, one wonders? At least preliminary data from these tapes and documents could have been released much earlier. Did the State Department and the CIA have something to hide or had different agendas than the Administration? Did these tapes cast doubts on some of their 'revealed wisdom' regarding Saddam's WMD and connections to al Qaeda?? We touch on this possibility of a 'backdoor play' in our previous post.



Since these tapes and documents have now been released, we may soon find out. The Mendacious MSM and PP are already spiking and spinning and hissing and writhing to either suppress or try to discredit what may be found there. Perhaps Saddam is a 'less reliable' source on these matters than the NYT and the rest of the Mendacious MSM and PP. HEH.


Here's an interesting take on these events by someone to whom unfortunately we can't provide the credit and/or attribution because we can't trace the source:




    "It's been reported that since the beginning of the LIBERATION of IRAQ, about 80 Journalists have died there. If one is to believe the Journalists' opinions of themselves, then this is 'too valuable a resource to waste'. We should therefore declare IRAQ a 'Journalistic FAILURE' and pull all of the remaining journalists out of IRAQ".



We've also heard that there are bumper stickers out there that read as follows:



    'RPG the MSM'


    and


    'IED's for the NYT'


We can hardly imagine what could possibly make some people this mad.


A NATION OF DOBERMAN PINSCHERS

There have been entirely too many instances of DEMOCRACY in AMERICA being undermined by various POWERFUL MINORITY INTERESTS. There is only ONE thing worse than the TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY... it's the TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY.


Such interests are mostly UNACCOUNTABLE to the ELECTORATE and include but are not limited to:



    THE MEDIA; THE EDUCATION ESTABLISHMENT (K-12 all the way through the UNIVERSITIES); BIG LABOR (THE UNIONS); CORPORATE WELFARE QUEENS; THE LEFTIST COURTS and LEGALISTAS; THE ACLU; THE ENVIROPUKES; POPULAR AND LESS THAN POPULAR CULTURE (TV, MOVIES, BROADWAY; LIBRARIES; HOLLYWOOD; BOOK PUBLISHING etc.); UNACCOUNTABLE BUREAUCRATS AND THEIR AGENCIES; IDENTITY GROUP MAGGOTS AND EXPLOITERS (SOCIOECONOMIC CLASS, RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION; ETHNICITY; ALLEGED RELIGIONS [like RADICAL ISLAM] etc.)




ad infinitum, ad nauseam.


In effect, these are ALL TAILS TRYING TO WAG THE DOG! In doing so, they UNDERMINE THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY on which our nation was founded!


Perhaps we should contemplate Doberman Pinschers. Most, though not all of them have their tails WHACKED OFF at an early point in their lives. Perhaps these tailless Dobermans could represent some kind of IDEAL for the US.
Consider that 'If you don't have a tail, then you can't WAG THE DOG'. Given that that's the case, perhaps we should become:



    A NATION OF DOBERMANS!!



What we're really saying here is that we should give more emphasis to FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY, and less to LEVERAGED and INFLUENTIAL ELITES and SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS in the GOVERNANCE OF OUR NATION.


If you don't think it's a problem then consider what's happening elsewhere.


RIOTS IN FRANCE

It's not particularly surprising that in a PATERNALISTIC (i.e. 'SUGAR DADDY SOCILAISTIC WELFARE STATE') SOCIETY there will be plenty of SPOILED BRATS. These are UNIVERSITY STUDENTS egged on by UNIONS protesting the modest change in the status quo of how things are being done in France. This modest change in the laws would in effect, allow employers to (gasp!!) FIRE entry level workers under age 25 if they don't work out in the first two years after being hired. After that, for all intents and purposes, YOU CAN'T FIRE ANYONE IN FRANCE.


These SPOILED BRATS and their UNION agents provocateurs are in effect saying that once HIRED, NO ONE CAN BE FIRED no matter how unproductive or lazy they are. This is why France has double digit UNEMPLOYMENT. This UNEMPLOYMENT is closer to 25% in the banlieues occupied mainly by immigrant MUSLIMS (remember, these people rioted in late 2005 in part for lack of EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES).


Perhaps the SPOILED BRATS, who seem to be in favor of keeping HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, should DUKE IT OUT IN THE STREETS with the IMMIGRANT MUSLIMS who are looking for more EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.


If the IMMIGRANT MUSLIMS win, there will be a FRENCH ISLAMIC REPUBLIC along the lines of IRAN.


If the SPOILED BRATS win, then France may eventually DEVOLVE into something like today's BEYLORUSSIA.


In either case, LEVERAGED and INFLENTIAL ELITES and SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS will WAG THE DOG, and effectively usurp THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.


Perhaps in the light of this, 'A NATION OF DOBERMANS', is not such a bad idea.


SAME TRENDS HERE

If you don't think it can happen here, consider what's going on at GM and UNITED AIRLINES. A MINORITY entity (UNIONS) that represent less than 7% of the legitimate (i.e. NOT THE PUBLIC SECTOR) US WORKFORCE is pushing the same idea as the FRENCH SPOILED BRATS and UNIONS, i.e. that NOBODY CAN BE FIRED AFTER THEY'RE HIRED even if they get paid for sitting around with their thumbs up their A$$ (i.e. the UAW mandated GM 'Jobs Bank'). Never mind what effect this has on the US ECONOMY.


So it goes.


THE PEOPLE SHALL JUDGE
