I have experienced fourteen presidential elections, I think it is. I remember hearing the 1948 results on the radio, but I didn’t really experience that campaign. In every single one of them, more than once, speakers would announce, “This is the most important decision America has ever had to make.”

And, for that speaker and at that time, it was.

I find it totally unproductive to talk about politics to anybody who thinks a presidential race is important. I just saw what I suppose was a repeat Saturday Night Live sketch about Hillary making a speech for her candidacy for the presidency and Obama walking in and taking all the attention and worship. I have said from the word Go that Hillary didn’t stand a chance because she has all the charm of a robot.

If your game is presidential politics, your game is NOT power politics. The president has no power. He is the face which represents whatever is in vogue at the moment. The fate of American policy in Iraq may be decided in a McCain-Obama race, but Iraq makes no difference at all to history. But the election of 1972 was about American policy in Vietnam. McGovern was absolutely destroyed at the polls, and by 1976 his side had won and America had withdrawn from Vietnam.

One famous joke from the 1964 election was, “They told me that if I voted for Goldwater, America would end up in an Asian War. Sure enough, I voted for Goldwater and we DID end up in an Asian War.”

I will mention politics only insofar as it relates to POWER.

In recent piece, I explained to you how hard it was to argue our side on campus back when Ex Oriente Lux was in power and anybody was laughed at who didn’t know that “Modern anthropology had proven all races are equal in innate abilities.”

As that began to collapse, partly due to our efforts, all debate on racial issues on campus began to be suppressed by violence and firing of tenured professors. It is IMPORTANT to realize a rule that, if we saw it in any other society, would be obvious to us:

Our ruling religion is like any other religion. When the argument goes against it, it resorts to any means at its disposal.

ANY means.

PLEASE NOTE I have just made two very important points that are relevant to our future. I do NOT need comments about how mean they are or some other things you would have said had I never been born. The reason I am being so crotchety about this is that every times someone goes off on his taped line I have to go back and repeat the whole thing from the bottom. I am BUILDING here, and if you throw in the wrong material it knocks down the structure.

SO …. having established WHY they use these means not only tells us we are winning, but it also makes it critical that we STOP regarding THEM as all-powerful. If they were all-powerful, then they would not hesitate to have squashed us. And every time somebody goes into the “They are just going to …” crap I get TIREDER. This is fifty years of tired talking, gang.

LET ME REPORT THAT I AM ECSTATIC THAT MY EXPERIENCED COMMENTERS ARE NO SELDOM MAKING THIS MISTAKE OR OF SAYING THINGS ***HERE*** THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SAID HAD I NEVER BEEN BORN.

Back to “their” power:

Who ARE “they?” “They” are the people who are stuck in the 60s. They are the Jews, mostly REFORMED Jews, not the ones in the curls and funny hats we love to have pictures of, whose only aim is destruction.

THOSE are our enemies. Most of them are OLD. On the other side of any issue, you will find that there is more and more restlessness with them. “Conservatives” today have gone back to their pre-1960 stand of being nothing but liberals forty years out of date.

It would be funny if it weren’t real: Just as 60s liberalism is being repudiated on the left, it is becoming the Gospel of the right. That is why you don’t fit in with the conservatives any more. They’re back to being conservatives, which means they are back to being the champions of the last wave of radicalism.

It is frustrating that I still have to use the word “liberal” to be understood. But if you are not off on some bellyache that you would be on if I had never been born, you would see WHY. As I have ALSO said here until I almost throw up having to say it again, language is USAGE. “Conservative” is a generic term for anyone who opposes the latest Political Correctness. And the latest PC is libservatism, the MELDING of Fox and CNN, the standard liberal-“respectable conservative” debate.

So what usage calls “conservative” is opposition to ANY PC fad. What paid commentators call conservatism is Bush. What the MEDIA calls conservatives are half of the “they.” Media “conservatives” are what keeps PC ALIVE.

Understanding what I have just said requires a LOT of rethinking. There is simply no room in the same mind for twentieth century thinking and Bob’s thinking. Medicine only got rid of bleeding for pneumonia when it REJECTED Galen and the Latin and Greek and started thinking in terms of what WORKS.

PERIOD.

It’s time for a mental spring cleaning.
