A Confluence of Serendipity

The recent loss by the Republican party was caused by a range of factors brought about by serendipity.
John McCain was seen by the base of the conservative movement as a hold your nose candidate.
Barak Obama was seen as the culmination of decades of struggle by blacks in America, causing them to turn out in record numbers while conservative whites stayed home or voted for the "none of the above" choice.
The Hatred of the media for George W. Bush proped up The Obamamessiah as it did John Kerry and Algore, however that wasn't enough even so.
It took the advent of the financial crisis as the "October Suprise" that pushed all these factors into a win for Obama. Without this, there is another GW vs. Algore close election.

This will be followed by the realization of reality setting in. Obama will not be able to come through with the "Wondrous Future" that his supporters believe in with their magical thinking.
There will be an effect like the Knox County elections recently.
Throw the bums out works the first time, but apathy returns to those that rarely vote.
And if they sense that what they did doesn't matter, they may never return to the polls.

There will be a lasting benefit to this election for the conservative movement. It will be the begining of realization by black Americans that big daddy government will only maintain you in poverty, not help you achieve prosperity.
This will be our opening.........if we realize that blacks aren't an alien life form, but Americans with dreams just like our own.

All's Fair In Love and War

The reality of life is: If you ain't breathin, you don't have a sense of morals to espouse.
The rules of war:
1. Kill your enemies
2. Destroy your enemies resources if you can't capture them for your own use.
3. Demoralize and confuse your enemies with propaganda.
4. Scare your enemies into surrender. Make them fear death at your hands more than living under your rule.

If you don't breed, you don't have anybody to pass your morals to.
Your sense of duty and honor, your political beliefs, your philosophy of life are passed down through your children. Getting to the point where you can ensure a reasonable expectation of the success of your offspring is the goal of family life. It is also the goal of war.

Life is a war with small respites of peace. Take prisoners if you can make them earn their continued existence in your life. Charity is a propaganda tool. Mercy is another. Ruthlessness may be the most important and misused of them all.
Discretion is the better part of Valor. Many people do not know what the hell that means and do not care. They are the ones that usually meet with early success only to fail later because they have abused the trust of all around them.

Love is for your Wife and Children. Objects are property, never to be cherished. A status symbol should be nothing more than that. NEVER get attached to an object (whether it be your home, car, business, or other posession) that can be sold as a strategic investment.
The freedom and security of you and your family is the most important thing.

Life is like a giant rat race.
Anybody that tells you any different is playing the game already, and trying to tell you the starting gun hasn't gone off yet.

Slavery Reparations

Blacks in America are always telling me about Egypt. They proudly point out that Egypt was a great civilization 1500 years before Pythagoras.
Well I have started to point out that Egypt was built on the back of Slave labor.
Africans taught the white man how to use slave labor. Indeed they taught the whole world.
If I owe reparations to them, then they owe reparations to the Jews that they enslaved to build Egypt.
Slavery has been abolished as a practice by every western civilization on the planet, but is still openly practiced in Africa.
People who live in glass houses............

The Weaver Plan

It's time to tell everyone what I think will work to end dependence on foreign oil and end the financial crisis in America.
We have the opportunity to advance solar energy use and cut emissions while saving homeowners from default by refinancing their homes and financing electric cars and solar roof panels at the same time.
The idea is to make government guaranteed home loans for people that buy an all electric car and at the same time add solar panels to their roof that will not only charge their car but run their homes. Eliminating the electric bill and car gas bill from the homeowners monthly costs is going to mean they can afford a higher mortgage payment.
This would be coupled with a recharging stand in front of many subdivisions for people to use any surplus charge that may be available after the homeowner has a full house (and car) charge. Thus creating a ready supply of charging locations nationwide.
This will revolutionise the Auto industry too, converting America from Oil to Solar Electric.

revision 12/4/08 to add the following paragraph and correct punctuation
We must first, however, begin by drilling for our own oil as a bridge to the future. These leases should be near the existing delivery infrastructure of currently existing pipelines and port facilities. This does NOT preclude drilling in a small area of the ANWR, off the pacific coast and the atlantic coast. Drilling rigs can't be seen at a distance of five miles, much less eight.

These solutions will eliminate the monetary outflow from America and at the same time eliminate the environmental problems we face. I still don't believe in manmade Global Warming, but it's like the old line about chicken soup and colds. It won't cure anything but it will make you feel better and it can't hurt.

revision 12/3/08 to include the following addition:
After noting the crude look of the solar cells I have seen I have contacted Intel corporation about the possibility of transfering their micron manufacturing technologies to the improvement of efficiencies of photovoltaic cells. They and others (list below) should be gathered into a Manhattan Project style research consortium to aid our push for these goals.

I would include :
Intel
AMD
General Motors
Ford
Chrysler
(The US automobile manufacturers should only be included post reorganization.)
United Solar Ovonic LLC et. al.
Aspen Aerogels et.al.
Oak Ridge National Labs
Sandia Labs
General Electric
TVA et. al.
Citibank et.al.
I'll add more as I think of them.

revised 1/4/2009

I think it would be a good idea to start a rural solarization project to stop long distance line losses and keep oil imports down. The amount of national resources that go out of our country each year to import oil should be better spent by using Photovoltaics in all rural areas. This would also be a good move for the defense of our nation in case of foreign attack or interior terrorist attack. The largest power losses in the grid are through line losses. If we can eliminate these losses we will go a long way toward ending our foreign dependency.

Fascism In Knoxville

Councilmen Rob Frost and Bob Becker have conspired to tell you and me that we can't park in our yards.( I previously thought it was Joe Hultquist and as much as it pains me to do it I apologize.)
They seem to think it in the best interest, of people they didn't ask, to tell us that we are a nuisance to the regimentation of their wierd fascist dreams. They are going to tell us that we must have a driveway of such and such a length and width and that we must not park outside the lines. What the hell do these powermad freaks think we buy property for in the first place?
So they can herd us like cattle into regimented little blocks of color? Are they going to get Paris Hilton to come and consult with them about having chartreuse lampposts in each and every yard?
This is more of an attempt to keep people from selling cars from their front yards than some effort to ostensibly promote any redevelopment in the affected areas.
Methinks that Misters Becker and Frost have some connection to the auto dealership industry.
Can you say conflict of interest? Ulterior motive?
I sure as hell can!

Palin vs. Biden

This was theater in it's best form. A "moderator that was trapped by her own stupidity into being an actual moderator instead of an in the tank Obamite as she has demonstrated by her publishing history.
A vice presidential candidate for the democrat party that makes things up and plagiarises at will with total impunity in the leftist press.
An underdog female vice presidential candidate for the republican party that had been called everything but a child of God by that same left wing press for not succumbing to the third degree badgering of the likes of a has-been morning fluff show host trying to make good as a "real news" anchor. And Couric's ratings show how little America thinks of her.
The back drop of a throw the bums out election year in which the democrat should be running away with the nomination if he weren't such a egomaniac socialist terrorist sympathiser mensch.

I think the news agencies have been making Biden's hair plugs disappear like the rain at an NFL game.
It was instructive that Biden had to lie in almost every particular about Obama's very public statements about every aspect of the Iraq war.
The fact that Palin pretty much bitch slapped the press and Biden at the same time had no effect on CNN and CBS's coverage. However, I almost fell over at the seemingly taken aback coverage of NBC actually giving Palin credit for "possibly" winning the debate.
I guess the guys at NBC want to keep some kind of cover of seeming to be unbiased. Who knows? Maybe they were too stoned on prozac to be able to recover that quickly. Or maybe they really meant they believed she won and wanted to report on the obvious.

Sarah Palin put Biden on his heels early and kept him there for most of the night. If there's no bounce out of this it will be a testament to the left wing press spin machine.

Bailout Boogaloo

When the financial "crisis" hit wall street last week the great leader of the Senate Harry Reid came right and told america what kind of leadership you get from anti capitalist democrats.
Reid said "Nobody knows what to do". This is an admission of complete failure by the democrats to understand the basic principals of capitalism and market economies. After all why WOULD you try to understand something you hate?
Reid called for John McCain to come to Washington to help convince the republicans to give democrats political cover for the bailout plan. When McCain arrived he decided he wouldn't endorse something he hadn't even read. This made Reid and Pelosi mad. They thought they could sell the republican a "pig in a poke" like Bush had sold them on.
McCain is no "grab the money and run" socialist like Reid and Pelosi though, and didn't fall for the bait!
When McCain didn't fall for it Reid accused him of being an "obstacle and hindrance" and asked him to leave Washington. Harry Reid needs to resign his post and seat. The man is incompetent.
Nancy Pelosi looks like she is on the verge of a mental breakdown. These people are ripe for defeat if we act like real conservatives. I don't mean just pay lip service to it; live it, be it, do it.
Look at the surge of support McCain got for nominating Palin. It was a move toward conservatism. It always works because america is a right of center nation.

Oil Demogogery On the Air

Once again Mr Phil Williams is trying to make out that oil prices are artificialy inflated.
It's a conspiracy he seems to think. I have never given him much credit for brains. I also don't think that he is really a conservative after thirty years of broadcasting in Rock and Roll stations.
I think he is trying to slowly turn the conservative movement back around to liberalism.
Especialy after yesterdays rant on his show.

Mr. Williams.
Here's the explanation of why gas shot up to $4.99.9 a gallon in Knoxville. If you can follow it.

The normal flow of oil is done on a contract basis. There are definite supply times and ammounts contracted for (in the futures market at auction) and with the pipeline companies for delivery times and dates. There are those like Pilot oil that go outside this normal route on the "spot" market (at auction) so they can keep their price lower than the rest in a normal market.

During an interruption of the market like a hurricane and under duress like a panic buying spree this is turned haywire by several factors.
First the supply is interrupted and delivery times are not on schedule.
Second the panic buying makes the supply on hand in the tanks at gas stations dissappear quicker. This makes the normal delivered price moot because the contracted for supply has been sold.
Now there are more bidders for the gas on the spot market (at auction) that companies like Pilot Oil usually bid for. Thus spiking the price. Because we all know what happens at an auction where there are a lot of wealthy bidders....don't we Mr. Williams?

This is why the price goes sky high at the inner city (and isolated) independent stations like Pilot Oil and Weigels first. Because they were already getting hammered by the disrupted schedule on the spot market trying to outbid each other to get some gas for their customers.

If this isn't enough to tell you what happened when your radio station started a panic then you need glasses....... and an education that I can't give you.

Biden's blunder

Joe Biden has said that he thinks Hillarious Clinton would have been a better pick than him.
I agree and so do most of the democrat party.
Just one thing....it's too late now.
Should Biden step aside in the interest of winning, it becomes the same old politics of winning at any price. It will highlight the obvious problem of Obama's decision making ability. It will remind everyone of Tom Eagleton and his replacement,Schriver, on the worst ticket in history:
McGovern/Eagleton/Schriver.
Can you say 17 electoral votes?
Well maybe he'll do as well as Dukakis or Mondale.......
This is getting good. The new has worn off their shiny new penny and the youth vote can't keep their minds focused enough to go vote when that happens.
Obama will get the black vote and the screaming reactionary vote and that will be it.
Women are abandoning him in droves as his attack wolves zero in on Palin.
Now that's a doozy of a mistake.
Alienate the women of your party by dissing their standard bearer and then attack their best hope.
Obama face it. You are no match for the likes of John McCain in a checkers game. And we're playing three dimensional chess.

Change...Is....Coming!!!!!!!!!

John McCain's threat to veto any porkbarrel spending bill and make the people famous that proposed it was a breath of fresh air. After the Sarah Palin pick it was a double whammy of conservatism with a sledge hammer.

The big idea is to make it political suicide to try to put up any bill like that.

I think we should get together as a conservative base to publish the names of those who propose this type of bill. A fund to aid the new president in his pursuit of fiscal responsibility.
To that end I am beginning to pull together resources to do just that.
