ORGANIZING THE INVASION IS TREASON

            I repeating an argument I made in a previous post – Pres. Obama should be tried for treason.  A document has surfaced so we know that his administration was aware of an impending invasion of the United States.  In January 2014, a government agency advertised for escorts for unaccompanied children who were expected to come across the border, some 65,000 of them.  Obama, instead of sending more border control agents and troops to secure the border and prevent the invasion, has instead welcomed the invaders, announced that his Administration will provide them with lawyers, and of course basic welfare.  Instead of preventing the mass invasion, Pres. Obama has aided and abetted the invaders.  Instead of defending the borders of America, Obama conspires with foreign invaders!  This amounts to treason. 

            In the early stages of the French Revolution, King Louis XVI had lost some of his powers to the Assembly, and he and his wife, Marie Antoinette, were determined to reverse that.  At some point they planned to escape France and have other monarchs go to war with France on behalf of Louis.  He expected the foreign armies to restore his full, divine right, powers.  Unfortunately for the royal couple, their carriage was intercepted in France, the proof of his conspiring with the enemies of the people of France confirmed, and eventually Louis and Marie were found guilty.  My comparison is not a complete analogy, especially in the case of the wives.  The very health-conscious Michelle Obama would never repeat the famous words of Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake!”

            As Pres. Obama’s popularity with the American people has declined since his re-election, and for good reason - the failure of the Obamacare website, the uncertainty today if those who were able to sign up are actually signed up; the exposure of the use by the Obama Adm. of the tax bureau to attack political opponents; the turning of the Arab Spring, which Obama so praised, into anti-American, anti-Jewish, and anti-Christian violence; the collapse of American policy in Iraq and Afghanistan; the cover-up of the murderous attack on Americans in Libya; the scandals of the government health care program for veterans, etc.  With so many things going against Obama and his Democratic Party, what can he do to counter the trend against the Democrats?  The most solid voting bloc for Democrats is the Black voters, who chose Obama by about 95%.  Hispanics generally vote Democrat by 67 to 75%.  So the best way to improve the chances of the Democrats is to increase the numbers of Blacks and Hispanics in the nation.  Displace the people already here.  Offer the newcomers the welfare state, and they will come.

            Obama was a community organizer before he was President.  To organize the trek of 65,000 children, young adults, and mothers (and drug dealers?)from Central America through Mexico to the US required considerable skill.  But this was accomplished.  (And the massive invasion may well continue until the US is as poor as the Central American nations from which the human flood has originated.)  The beneficiaries will be the Democratic Party, if not in this election, in those of the future.  Those who will pay for the invasion, will be those who pay taxes for the welfare, those who become crime victims to newcomers who know little English and fewer skills and who will want more than welfare; those whose neighborhoods will suddenly become little barrios with foreign music, customs, drug dealing and hostility to native Americans.  One must recall the astute poem by Bertolt Brecht after the uprising against the East German Communist government in Berlin in 1953 – in it he noted that an official writers’ organization had urged the workers to obey the government and regain its confidence.  Brecht then bitingly suggested that if this were not done, the government would dissolve the people, and elect another.

            Obama is at war with the general American population.  He is seeking to dissolve the American people and elect another.  This is not an accident.  This is not incompetence.  This is treason.  Pres. Obama should be impeached and tried for treason.
           Impeach Obama, close the border, deport all invaders - and then American can be America again!

English or Espanol in Soccer & USA

Hey Bob,
   Believe it or not, I will sometimes watch futbol on the Spanish channels because it is my favorite sport.  Indeeed, I learnt a few Spanish words as a consequence: penal, corrnerr kick, and gooooool!!!  When I played the game in NYC many fo those with whom I played knew Spanish, and many other languages.
   When I lived in Queens, New York, I recall going to the nearest hardware store to buy something.  No one could speak English.  I walked a few more blocks to another store where I could explain what I wanted and be understood.  The neighborhood had changed over years with more South American immigration.  Nothing wrong with that.  Or?  I began to receive my telephone bill in Spanish and not English.  I complained and that changed.  I went to vote.  No problem - Democrat, Republican, Liberal, the usual parties in NY.  However, on the propositions I could vote No or Si.  I had to look for a place to vote Yes.  The Democrats were doing their usual pandering.  During the 1990 World Cup, I remember watching the game between Columbia and Germany.  I was happy with the result, which I think was a German victory (or perhaps a tie).  It was late afternoon and I left my flat to head for the subway and had to cross a wide avenue.  The Colombianos of the neighborhood were out with a parade.
   For the final, on a Sunday as I recall, it was Argentina v. Germany.  It was a hot day, and I decided to go out before and after the game wearing a gold shirt, black bermuda shorts, and a red tie (I almost never wear a tie, and on a sweltering day!)  These were not the Argentine colors, so no one in the neighborhood paid attention.  I bought a newspaper and returned to my flat to watch the game.  It was a German victory.  I then left wearing the same clothing.  A large Argentine "victory" parade had assembled, which went on despite their defeat.  Because all the neighborhood had seen the game, and the German colors, they recognized what I was wearing.  Most were surprised that anyone would support the Euroteam.  Most were friendly, one wanted to throw some water on me.  A few blocks away I actually saw some of my teammates, who were all for Argentina.
   This enthusiasm I do not criticize at all.  Similarly, on the subway, the signs advertising Budweiser cerveza is paid for by a corporation.  It can pay it money as it sees fit.  But when government ads are in Spanish, why are my taxes paying to inform others and not inform me?  And why in Spanish and not French?  Or German?
   Why do they advertise for many jobs where a requirement is "bi-lingual"?  I am bi-lingual.  But that is not what they want.  They want someone who speaks Spanish.  So newcomers who learn English have an advantage over native Americans in getting jobs.  Worse, our government's affirmative action programs give them even more privileges over native Americans.  And I reject the absurd notion of our government that one's ancestors must have been born here about 500 years ago before you can be classified as a Native American.  I was born in the USA, I am an native American.
   I realized how poorly I do at learning languages now after my stint in China.  Two years, and I can count to ten!  But my purpose there was to teach English, not learn Chinese.  I worked in a court in Milwaukee.  Many came to me, "Anybody speaka Spanish."  I knew enough to get them into court and their plea - culpable, innocente, no objecion.  Many, Ok.  But there were some who have lived here 7 or 10 years, young people, and they still knew no English.  Our government paid for brochures in Spanish, for translators in court, etc.  I think of my days in China or Germany.  Had I had to go to court, I would have had to pay.  Why does the local government pay in the USA?  Charge the Mexican Embassy.  China had a reasonable system for deporting illegals.  Indeed, I admired the Chinese system on crime in general.
   I am old enough to remember when assimilation was the ideal, the melting pot.  I live near an Indian Casino, but never go.  In this state, if you are not Amerind, you cannot have a casino.  I call this racial discrimination.  I am happy that over the years most of the French language declined in Louisiana and I was given English as a language.  I can imagine the battles for separation as occurred in Canada because of language.  And the discrimination against English that occurs in Quebec today.  I think our immigration policies are insane, and think of the poem by Bertholt Brecht, the great German poet/playwright.  He fled Hitler's Germany and ended in Hollywood.  During the Cold War, he fled the US to return to East Germany.  After the 1953 uprising against the Communist regime, he wrote a poem that the government should now dissolve and elect a new people.  Sadly, that is what has been happening here for the past 5 decades.
   I am a strong opponent of multiculturalism.  I think the US and the West are headed in the wrong direction.  Is English a superior language?  In most ways, I suspect one language is like any other, each having easy sides; each its difficult sides (like spelling English).  But to what extent is a language the outgrowth of the culture of the people who speak it?  I recall that Eskimos may have many terms for snow.  That is part of their live, and essential part.  The language reflects it.  English reflects the ideas and experiences of those who speak it.  Freedom, liberty, equality, individualism, creativity, progress, rights are all words that express the history of the English-speaking people.  I have heard that the Chinese had no word for individualism.  I greatly admire the Chinese, but I choose to remain in the English milieu.
   Or to rephrase it, the people express themselves in their culture, and part of that culture is the language.  A nation of many languages will eventually come apart as Austria-Hungary.  Switzerland is the great exception, as it is on many other themes.  Individuals may learn a second or many languages.  It will even help in their understanding of their first.  But the government should have an official language to save money and avoid duplication, and to encourage a unified nation.
   By the way, though I disagree with him on social issues, I did vote for Buchanan for President in 2000.  Held my nose and voted Bush in 2004, and returned to the Libertarian fold in 2008.  In 2010 I did vote for one Democrat, the local Sheriff of Milwaukee, a Black man who attended Tea Party rallies.
   My politics have greatly changed over the decades.
   But I hope you write about yourself for Tulane.  Our experiences are different, so are out politics.  But perhaps our experiences can help explain so much of the change over the decades of our lives.
