OLD NEWS, BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS

NEWS THAT JUST WON’T GO AWAY:

Back in the Really Ancient History Department, as in 1925, a guy named Adolphus Knopf and others of Margaret Sanger’s coterie, advocated the study and application of eugenics to foster the extermination and enforced sterilization of blacks in America. They also “spoke of purifying America’s human ‘breeding stock’ and purging America’s ‘bad strains.’ These ’strains’ included the ’shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of antisocial whites of the South.’ ” (http://www.blackgenocide.org/sanger.html)

Lest one conclude that those ideas went the way of high button shoes and the Third Reich, be aware that it was that ilk that founded the ABCL, the American Birth Control League, forerunner of the PPFA, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

That repugnant organization is still very actively involved in effecting the precepts of the ABCL, especially the extermination of unwanted babies.

INVENTED NEWS:

Bob Cesca of the HuffingtonPost.com is busy here with vainly attempting to prove a negative: “Obama Is Tainted by Crimes He Didn’t Commit,” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/obama-unfairly-tainted-by_b_150011.html.

Tongue firmly planted in cheek, he asks whether the Chicago Obamassiah was a co-conspirator with Chicago’s Mayor Daley the First or with Mrs. O’Leary’s cow, who didn’t really burn down Chicago. More than anything else, the wind in the Windy City did.

Sooner use the reductio ad absurdum defense than to confront the truth that nothing happens in or near Chicago that Daley II’s machine doesn’t approve. If Daley Junior and Obama Junior didn’t personally have a sitdown to discuss who would be awarded–dare we say, sold–Barack’s seat in the Senate then it’s certain that the sun rises in the west and sets over Chicago.

Is the President-elect complicit as sin?

That would depend on your definition of sin. If we leave that definition to Rahm Emanuel, we would have to conclude that an Obamassiah, just as Christ, is sinless so if any sins were committed, they would have to be Republican sins.

RENEGADE NEWS:

Next we have the last best hope of Republicans, a man who has all the answers and all the remedies for what ails the Republican Party in 2008. Colin Powell believes the cure starts with Republicans turning off Rush Limbaugh: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/12/022329.php.

Limbaugh’s response: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_121508/content/01125106.guest.html.

My response: Not only did Powell desert the Republican Party by endorsing Obama, in the past (in 1996), he refused to run for the presidency on the Republican ticket because his wife was afraid for his safety as a black man: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-2365633.html.

Let’s see now, a skinny civilian from Illinois, also black, sort of, wasn’t fearful, and he ran, and won. But Alma Powell says, “Colin, I’d be worried if you ran for president,” and a retired, 35 year and much-decorated army veteran, a battle-hardened general, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says, “Fine, dear.”

Methinks something stinks.

Colin, like Eisenhower, had a friend in all the right places. Ike had Eleanor. Colin had and has Alma Powell to keep him safe all those years. Then, having endorsed the totally unqualified Democrat Obama, he criticized both McCain and Palin, attacked the idea of more conservative justices on SCOTUS, and dismissed any connection between Obama and Bill Ayers: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=OTEzNDA4MDQzOGEwMDc1OTQ2MThlM2VkMmJhYTIzYTY=.

And he presumes to lecture Republicans?

Much more Reagan conservatism, and much less input from pseudo-Republicans such as Colin Powell, are what the Republican Party needed in 1992, 1996, and in ’08, and will need in 2012 to win back this country. As for GWB’s “compassionate conservatism,” that was a joke from the outset and he proved it by spending like a drunken Democrat.

CHRISTMAS NON-NEWS:

A dinner companion brought up the pictures and statuettes we see this time of year showing Santa Claus, head bowed, kneeling beside the infant Christ Child and called it a stupid representation.

I had to object.

Kneeling before the Christ Child puts the secular Mr. Claus in his rightful place as subservient to the true reason for the season and in that vein I offer this apt website on “The Meaning of Christmas,” http://llerrah.com/truemeaningofchristmas.htm.

The site identifies the musical accompaniment as “The Joys of Christmas,” a beautiful piece with music, lyrics, and performance by Margi Harrell. No matter though. It’s the meaning of Christmas as explained in the text which is most important and worth the read.
