A “Tea Partier” writes to express his dismay over the “appalling” fact that the tea party movement has yet to address the US Immigration problem in its various planks.  He tells me that the “TEA” in Tea Party stands for “Taxed Enough Already” --- the first that I have ever heard of this acronym (who said you don’t learn something new every day!).
But when all is said and done, one can't really blame the Tea Party Organizers for trying to avoid a potential problem :  long ago the minions of the transnational media got into the habit of calling anyone who objects to the current deluge of Third World Immigration into the US a “Racist,” plain and simple.  So being called out, so to speak, is just one extra problem that the Tea Party organizers need like a ten-penny nail to the forehead!
But the “Taxed Enough Already” people may just find themselves being called Racists sooner than they think.  Using the U.S. Census as an uncertain guide, the number of Third Worlders or non-Whites in the country presently hovers somewhere between 35% & 40%.  This exploding segment of our population is, for the most part, of the tax-eater rather than the tax-payer class.  As this segment of the population continues to grow, as it is destined to do under the automatic triggers of the Immigration Act of 1965, the clash over the limited pot of our national system of free Goodies & big Bennies threatens to turn quite ugly.
If the Red Chinese are right when they say that there is not enough money in the world to sustain the current level of American borrowing based on the diarrhea-like issuance of US Treasury bonds, then there are not enough White tax-payers to pay for the demands of non-White tax-eaters visited upon the nation's bounty, i.e. the amount of filthy lucre that Whitey is expected to stump up in order to avoid being called a “Racist.”
It has been observed, not for the first time and nor will it be for the last, that diverse or mixed nations find that their roiling racial makeups are invariably incompatible in the conduct of reasoned debate.  Where once there would have been a clash between the have-nots and the haves or arguments based on shadings of ideology, now every issue, including financial ones, are automatically reduced to the gutter level of cross-racial accusations.  Whites can move out of neighborhoods that are “changing,” but though they retreat to the sea walls of the Pacific and Atlantic, they cannot escape being called “Racist” for wanting to run from a high tax bill, for such flight proves that they are eminently guilty of shirking “societal responsibility.”

A Clubber posits : “we can agree that Global Warming and Open Borders are both religious propositions rather than soundly reasoned political positions.  So now that global warming has been exposed as a false religion, shouldn't Open Borders follow right behind and jump into the dustbin of history?”
Great question and one that should be asked! --- but Open Borders and the lies that surround it can’t be deconstructed in the same way in which Global Warming was exposed by showing that the props surrounding climate-thinking were woven from whole cloth :  the people who ran the global warming scam simply cooked the books, as it were.  When the “facts” backing their assertions were audited, the assertions were exposed for the pathetic absurdities that they ultimately were.  Just you wait --- Open Borders will prove to be a much harder nut to crack.
Open borders is a secular religion that depends upon a tight rule of manners to keep it going.  The rich and connected people who believe in it don't live in the inner cities or the clapboard suburbs where the newly-arrived Third Worlders live.  To them, immigrants are abstract personages they see only on TeeVee, not people of flesh & blood, whom they experience in a day-in, day-out way.  The rich & connected don't drive on roads choked with “Trench Town” taxis, nor do their children go to school with Aztecs who are even illiterate in Spanish.  Believers in Open Borders are completely cocooned from reality.  Theirs is a world of fantasy, in which border jumpers become physicists and visa overstayers win spelling bees.  Believers in Open Borders haven't even bothered to concoct a pathetic hoax as a jumping-off point from which to perpetrate lies.  The mythical religion that they have constructed is built on the most paper-thin of dreams.  That the Immigration Act of 1965 has rendered this country into a waking nightmare is a cold reality which is of little moment to our rich & connected Golden Pony Boys, who ride the white charger of pure and blissful political science fiction into the mists of creamy logic.  When all is said and done, and all evidence is going to the contrary, it is what they see on TeeVee, which are ultimately fantasies of their own devising, that will ever carry the day.  Because on TeeVee it is Whitey-White White who is always Bad and the Lesser Shade of Pale who is always Good.  You cannot argue the facts with a shadow nor can you disprove a Tall-Tale that walks on stilts.  And if you have the audacity to kick the stilts away and send a false proposition into the proverbial mud where it belongs, you will only be accused of “hate speech” and someday, if the election results keep going the way they have been recently, you'll be charged with the “hate crime” of hurting somebody's feelings.
In the playground and in the sandbox of current debate, adults are most definitely not welcome --- simply because hopscotch and pink plastic shovels look ridiculous at their feet and in the hands.  Open Borders is not simply a hoax or simply a religion : it is pure juvenilia in debate and baby-talk in reasoning.  The training wheels are always on and never come off!  When the topic of Immigration is brought up, the left-wing response will always be “RACIST;” and then you know it's time for teacher to call for a nap or ring a bell for sugar cookie break!  Being eternally 6 means never having to think with your head.
And just because global warming has been exposed as an outrageous hoax, doesn't mean that the hoaxers are still not waiting in the weeds, looking for the first chance to jump out and run their scam all over again when the time seems right.  Afterall, Daddy, the ice cap is still melting and the polar bears are still drowning!  You wouldn't want to be mean, now would you? --- Daddy?

The trials and tribulations of the nation of Greece, and of that country's enormous difficulties in maintaining debt service on $300 billion in outstanding government bonds, was much in the news last week.  It would appear (although appearances, at the moment, are most likely deceptive) that Germany will stand “good” for maintaining Greece’s debt service, but the details of this generous backstopping, on the part of Germany, have yet to be worked out and the assent of the German electorate has still not been smoothed over!
It has been said many times over, throughout history, that Fiat currencies are doomed.  A paper collapse is bound to happen sooner or later.  (Remember when JZ made a music video, two or three years ago, in which he threw stacks of Euros at the camera and boasted of his great wealth?).  Well, the Euro is no longer such a hot commodity now that Greek politicians have begrimed and begreased that now declining currency.
John Maynard Keynes considered gold to be a barbarous affectation of hidebound bankers, who were much too conservative for the good of the Commonwealth.  Despite the fact that you no longer see the word “conservative” with the word “bankers” in the same sentence anymore, gold may be a barbarous affectation but it was and has always been and will always remain an affectation which can undergird any stable national monetary system.  If the power to tax is the power to destroy, then the power to print baseless paper money, not based on copper, not based on silver, not based on gold, not based on anything whatsoever, means that when a central bank perpetrates the crime of the printing press, even if it be deemed legal by the home government, it amounts to nothing, more nor less, than the legitimatization of a Ponzi scheme on a national scale.
And after the Ponzi scheme collapses, governments are likely to institute strict currency controls, making the trading of the afflicted national currency a crime across international borders.  So far Greece has not reached that point, yet.  But will the Germans really stand “good” for maintaining the debt service on Greece's $300 billion outstanding debt --- what about future outstanding debt? The Germans are determined to keep the Euro going and may be willing to backstop Greece through February and March, but what happens if Ireland or Spain or Portugal or even Italy wind up facing sovereign debt shortfalls right along with Greece at sometime in the near future?  April is the month for Spring cleaning.  Come April, German non-conservative bankers and German non-conservative voters may be looking to buy a big broom in order to chase the Euro PIIGS out of the Euro house. Say what??? --- Good riddance to bad rubbish or so goeth the way of all flesh and of all paper-fiat currency!

The English politician, William Hague, was the distinguished leader of Her Majesty's Opposition during the period of 1997 through 2001.  He was, what the English call, the Shadow Prime Minister.  But he didn't lead much of a political opposition.  After being decimated in the 1997 General Election, the Conservatives chose him strictly on the basis of his speaking abilities.  He was at his most eloquent when he characterized the Prime Minister of the time, Tony Blair, as a man of “U-turns, errors and sellouts!”
The UK economy was booming in 2001 & the real effects of Third World immigration had only just started to become apparent;  Hague resolved to chance a mention or two about the consequences of Labour's Immigration policies : in March of that year, he kicked off the General Election campaign by proclaiming --- “We will give you your country back!”  The Conservatives gained only one seat in the country-wide poll and remained, for another 4 years, in the political wilderness; in 2005, Labour, with only 35% of the vote, was again reëlected with a reduced majority, but were, by then, exposed for the charlatans and crooks that they, preeminently, had always been.
Hague resigned in 2001 as the Conservative leader but stayed on in parliament as an MP.  He has been much touted to make a comeback, either as UK Secretary of State or Deputy Prime Minister, if David Cameron wins the General Election in the Spring.  But William Hague has long since learned to bottle up his eloquence.  The Daily Telegraph says that he will not be making any speeches regarding Tory intentions on immigration policy (“[Hague rules] out using immigration as a weapon in the election campaign.”).

 

Nine years on, one would think that the British people have had more than enough of 13 years of massive Third World immigration, thanks to Labour.  But the Tories seem to have a knack for throwing elections in the most cavalier ways imaginable.  Right now they are fading fast in the polls, so much so that if the General Election were held today, they would be unable to form an absolute majority in the House of Commons.  The “limey” conservatives appear to be not very different from the “yankee” ones.  Both seem to have an inbred, absolute abhorrence when it comes to making a political issue of the vicissitudes of Third World Immigration.  Like Pavlov's dogs, they have been well and truly trained by their master, the transnational Press : it is easy to translate the sound of the old, hoarse bark for what it is, into yelping English --- “THAT’S RACIST!” --- says the BOW WOW.

There will be a party primary taking place this summer in Arizona for John McCain's US Senate seat. JD Hayworth, the challenger, has already started making Robo calls to Republican voters in which he calls McCain a “moderate” and characterizes his positions on bank regulation and immigration as “moderate.”  “Moderate” is the new Liberal.  It is the new dirty word in US politics.

Byron Dorgan, the retiring senator from North Dakota, is a Democrat and a self-avowed moderate.  His colleague in the Senate, Dem. Kent Conrad, is another self-avowed moderate.  Rob Port, a political commentator on North Dakota radio, says : “The joke here is that we elect conservatives to state office because we don't want them to spend our money, but we elect liberals to national office because we want them to spend other people's money!”
