Hillary Fatigue...

I haz it.

I couldn't care less what that old screeching harridan is doing or saying.

Meantime, in beautiful downtown Minneapolis, six men have been arrested for trying to join ISIS.

and

this hysterically funny article from the StarTrib about the declining younger population of the Twin Cities.  The funny part comes in the comment section (over 500, which is HUGE for the StarTrib) where diehard Twin Citian libtards try to defend their bailiwick by bringing up the "art and culture" of the Twin Cities - not to mention it's "diversity."   What they fail to mention is that the majority can't avail themselves of all this art and culture because they can't afford it, or they may get mugged while participating.

For instance, that wonderful diverse group, Twin Cities Pride, which celebrates all things sodomy, is bringing Lily Tomlin in as a cultural and artistic event.  Tickets range from $40.00 - $99.00.   Now I have it on good intelligence that the Muslim Somalis living off the taxpayers in Cedar-Riverside can't afford to attend.  The horror.

Not to be outdone, the "prominent" Catholics in culturally and artistically rich San Fransisco, are pissed at archbishop Salvatore Cordileone.  His offense?  Why he has the temerity to uphold Catholic teaching, and wants his teachers in the Catholic schools to do the same.  These "prominent" people spent gobs of money, of which they have plenty, to take out a full-page ad in the local SF paper denouncing the good archbishop as being "too conservative."

But their worst offense is leading the students into revolt.  Didn't Jesus say something about the "least of my children?"  Yep, that's the ticket, "prominent" Catholics - let's lead some young people into thinking sinful behavior is A-okay, and that Jesus would approve, because, after all, all this talk about sin is just too divisive.  My message to you: If you don't like the doctrines of the Catholic Church, go start your own.  Dopes.

In Honor of Art and Culture

In honor of art and culture, today, after finishing the painting of an arbor (can that be considered "art"?), I'm going to the library, and then peruse the used book section at the Hospice Thrift Store, buy some free-range lettuce at the grocery store, and maybe even hit up Walmart.  Oh, the excitement - it burns.

This evening I'll be reading more of Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania, by Erik Larson, an author I think so highly of that I actually spent $16.00 at Costco for this, his newest book.  His book In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin remains one of my all time favorites.  Does that count as culture?

Tomorrow night, I'll be heading over to where our new overpass is being built to watch the workers install the first span over the freeway.  Who says we don't have "art and culture" in North Idaho??

Remember When?

actually, many of you don't.

Pat Boone's article Welcome to the Nightmare asks us to remember a time when he was young.

Is it just me? Am I dreaming something that never was? Or do you remember the same things I do?

Considering Pat's age, and mine for that matter, fewer and fewer people remember all the things he and I experienced growing up in America.  Few of this blog's readers lived in a world that even remotely resembled life before the 60's or the 70's.

If this wasn't all a dream, if you remember most of this like I do, what happened? How do we find ourselves in this nightmare of contemporary America?  How has it changed so radically, and so fast?

As I reach back into this horrible nightmare, I seem to hear a loud, almost fanatic threat echoing in the night … "We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!"

The easy thing to do is pin the complete blame on Obama.  In reality, the downward spin started way before he was even born.  Obama is nothing more than the culmination of years of sliding morality, Marxist influence in the schools, and puppet masters controlling the dialogue.  

This process of destruction of liberty and cohesiveness has, by necessity, been ramped up to warp speed.  I absolutely believe that the final economic downfall will happen very quickly.  As the revolving door of credit, debt, unfunded liabilities, and entitlement spending - not just here, but in most developed countries, comes to a screeching halt, we will awake one day to a global "solution."  The people who consider themselves the "elites" will not stand for a world that is economically broken. Who would fund their lifestyles if the world was completely destroyed?  They'll push the "reset button" and we will become one big happy family.
