Earlier this last week I had a night shift, cleaning up one of the elementary schools. As I ran the dustmop down the aisle of one of the K-3 classes I noticed on the counter a pile of work sheets- a coloring book style line drawing of a cowboy's face, with a few simple paragrahs for beginning readers- it took a few seconds for me to recognize the mediocre cowboy portrait as John Wayne.<BR/>The title of the worksheet was, "John Wayne American Hero"<BR/>The first paragraph was about John Wayne's start in the movie business. The second part was about john Wayne making people angry because he supported the war that America was fighting in Vietnam. Two paragraphs followed about how the people who supported the war were wrong and how America lost.<BR/>Thae last paragraph rememberd that the worksheet was about John Wayne. It said that he was brave because he stood up for what he believed in.<BR/>I could do a little amateur deconstructing of the implied memes in that little narrative, and it would come out something like: America war bad. wrong people support war. Good American disagree with war. John Wayne supports war. John Wayne is American Hero. <BR/>Well, class- Is it good to be an American Hero?<BR/><BR/>Third grade.<BR/>The narrative starts in the third grade.<BR/><BR/>And we have just seen the fusion of electronic, print, publishing, television, and film media with the aims and agendas of the far left of the Democrat party. They effectively act in concert to demonize anything remotely conservative, religious, or Republican. The wall of noise. For the last eight years it has been the wall of condemnation for anything GWB said or did. I don't have to rehash the media drumbeat. You heard it too. There is a monopoly on the mass shaping of opinion, discourse, and even language itself, and that monopoly belongs to the militantly secular, anti-religious left. <BR/>That grade school narrative about John Wayne is a seed. Seeds like it have been sown in our culture for the last fifty years.<BR/>'08, apparently is the year of the harvest.<BR/><BR/>JWMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-34118770057887568622008-11-09T17:51:00.000-08:002008-11-09T17:51:00.000-08:00I gather from that article that he hasn't yet take...I gather from that article that he hasn't yet taken "the vow."walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388218390016612051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-88032938972430538262008-11-09T17:27:00.000-08:002008-11-09T17:27:00.000-08:00Nice to know that the world loves us now.Nice to know that <A HREF="http://www.theage.com.au/world/warning-of-new-bin-laden-attack-20081109-5kxu.html" REL="nofollow">the world loves us</A> now.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-63888885993913811442008-11-09T16:41:00.000-08:002008-11-09T16:41:00.000-08:00An imaginary conversation with Deepak conducted in...An imaginary conversation with Deepak conducted in a one-sided Bob Newhart phone-type conversation:<BR/><BR/>"Cool, Deepak!

The email originators are long married with children, white, college educated professionals, Boomers of the radical-chic activist persuasion. They're friends of mine & I've met most of the other people on this group email list. They fit the originators profile.<BR/><BR/>All thru the primaries this group has been discussing back & forth all the red-flag items, ie Rev Wright, bitter clingers, taxes, redistribution, thuggish tendancies, Ayers, Rezko, Palin treatment, etal. The originators were hooked into the Obama talking-point memos, action plans & fight-the-smears campaigns, sending them out to everyone on the list.<BR/><BR/>As a sample, all 30-odd members of this <BR/>group were aware of these red-flag issues, but chose excuse them away before the election. By 11/5 am the 'Barak is ok because....' emails started, two or three <B>a day</B>.<BR/>So, suddenly they're nervious about the possible effects of what they've push forward for the last year? What's up with that?<BR/><BR/>I like these people, they're kind, generous, decent California moonbats. It's been fascinating to observe first-hand how the white-washing of red-flags played out. Something more important to them than listening to warning-bells was clearly at stake here. What exactly enabled them to paint-over their concerns, at least until Obama got elected?<BR/><BR/>The Steele article gave me the answer: voting for Obama was the <B>decent</B> thing to do, so that's what they went with. Hope for absolution & Change to post-racial status for their Liberal White Guilt. That's what trumped any other factor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-55206512695009983982008-11-09T09:44:00.000-08:002008-11-09T09:44:00.000-08:00How many meanings could be gleaned from a bumper s...How many meanings could be gleaned from a bumper sticker "OBAMA RULES".<BR/>How long if ever until his accolytes discover its true meaning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-86516518623546594272008-11-09T09:40:00.000-08:002008-11-09T09:40:00.000-08:00Obama is so unconsciously programmed and driven th...Obama is so unconsciously programmed and driven that he will continue to make freudian slips which will show his true nature and intent (i.e. the Nancy Reagan comment) he has limited control over it. <BR/>But the morons will heareth it not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-46042801705360886612008-11-09T09:17:00.000-08:002008-11-09T09:17:00.000-08:00Watching Meet the Press...
