Ichabod - The Glory Has Departed

On November 4, 2008, I sadly pulled the plug on my long running political and legal issues blog. (Link HERE) At it's height, this blog was often ranked in the top ten or twenty most influential political blogs in the state. At times, I had the unusual distinction of being listed in both the most influential conservative and liberal rankings. I was quoted nationally and the blog view numbers just kept rising. I pulled the plug on the blog for two reasons:

First, the election of Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Sotero, made such a mockery of the law that further attempts to analyze any American law and public policy would have been pure sophistry.  The American people, by a narrow margin, chose to live in a third rate, third world dictatorship legislated by executive order and governed by a conniving tribal strongman who will do literally anything to advance his cause.  And just what is his cause?

At the time of his election, we knew that the man who had successfully campaigned for President was not a natural born citizen as required by law but rather was born in Kenya to an Englishwoman of loose morality and an African national with sympathies toward and connections with the vicious anti-white, anti-colonial Mau Mau movement.  Pornographic pictures of Obama's mother are all over the internet. They were widely published in the 1960's.

We know that Obama identified passionately with the anti-white, anti-colonial, anti-capitalist views of his African "father. We knew that his closest political mentor was a Chicago communist radical so dangerous that he remained on the FBI's constant surveillance list for his entire life.

Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.  If you don't see similarities between the Mau Mau political strategy and Obama's you are politically blind, deaf and dumb.

We knew that there were real problems with his bar admission, his grades in law school and his qualifications as a law professor at Harvard.  No information about this area of his life has ever been released.  

With that pedigree, had Obama not been elected President of the United States, he probably could not have been granted a clearance to view even low level classified documents ... at least before the world turned upside down and his minions began leaking our most precious secrets to the press in return for momentary political gain.  But time has shown that this failing may not make much difference.  The record shows that he skips the majority of his national security and intelligence briefings. 

We knew that Obama was not educated in the United States but rather grew up in Indonesia and was educated in the Muslim school system there. There is strong evidence that he converted to Islam during this period and his constant deference to Islam during his presidency gives strong credence to this assertion.

And, we knew that Obama's political base in Chicago included a long list of known Communists and 60's radicals, some of them violent. I figured that any country that could elect that man after been given the opportunities to learn the truth that we have enjoyed did not deserve to nor would want to hear the truth about their decision.

The second reason I pulled the plug was because at the time I was involved in what could become a nasty and expensive legal shouting match with an east coast GOP political operative and so-called journalist named David Mastio.  Mastio was copying my work nearly as soon as it was released and re-publishing it through his so-called "blog news service." While he was getting paid well and gaining influence on the backs of hundreds of local writers like me, we writers weren't getting squat in return but were subject to all of the risk and negative exposure that comes with being nationally published. For what it's worth, this man is now an editor at the Washington Times.

There should be lesson for you GOP loyalists in this second reason.  Those of you who tend to attribute a particular brand of righteousness and holiness of cause to the GOP really need to get to know some of the insiders like Mastio.  They are no better than the Democrats, they have just chosen a different side of the argument that they think will serve their purposes better.  There are no core beliefs there, just a craven need to gain and remain in positions of political power.  If you are looking for salvation from the GOP my misguided friend, you are looking in the wrong place.  If the Bush generations, especially their Supreme Court appointments, didn't teach you that the GOP is no friend of Christians, social conservatives, and even classical economic conservatives, you are beyond teaching.

Before you argue with me about the GOP, do your homework and see which Bush judicial appointee betrayed his colleagues and sided with Obama on national health care.  You had better do that homework now while you still have the money to afford your high speed internet connection because come January 1, 2013 you are going to get a minimum 30% tax hike thanks not only to Obama but also to John Roberts who could have stopped it but instead, like a good institutional Republican, betrayed the nation to ingratiate himself with what he perceived to be the new regime.

So, what is this new blog really about?  It is about surviving and living morally in a near-apocalyptic,  decidedly post-Christian society.  It is about learning ways to  preserve Biblical truth for future generations.  It is about learning ways to preserve traditional morality and decency in a totally depraved society.  It is about learning to be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove.  But above all, it is about learning to be a Christian in a society where that affiliation may be terribly costly.
