“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.”
— Arundhati Roy in “Confronting Empire”, 27 January 2003.
My mind and inclinations are fueled by a variety of sources. One of which is the “Conservative Tribune” from “The Western Journal.” Before anyone starts screaming at me, just remember that I’m from a generation that tolerated and embraced and loved the generally healthy competition that existed between “Good” Democrats and “Good” Republicans. (See below) Such tolerance and affection and love has disappeared in the cloud of smoke that billows from the “Nuclear Dust Ups” between the evil Leftist Goodfellas and their equally or most often transcendentally evil counterparts the RINO Goodfellas.
I personally have found that I can tolerate and do believe much of the news from “The Western Journal.” However, anyone regardless of inclination should be able to appreciate the following video from that same source.
From the “Who Gets the Dumb Ass Award” posting, “Let’s talk terms. In his youth, Grandpa began as a “Wobbly.” Wobblies were a bit too “over and under the top” for him so he settled down as a Democrat for the rest of his life. He died a 32nd Degree Mason, loved his Country and the Lord. So I learned to love “real” Democrats just as much as I fancied that loving “real” Republicans was legitimate also. However as time passed, both have been overwhelmed by a cacophony from rabble rousing, self serving minorities on all sides. Real old time Democrats and real old time Republicans are now seldom seen or heard. We mostly hear only from Leftist Goodfellas and RINO Goodfellas. So we at the Buzzard’s Blog are wont to lump them all into “Goodfellas.” However, the distinctions between them are still considerable so we are forced to use “Leftist” and “RINO” from time to time.”
