It's a Flighty Fight That Keeps on Giving Thing

Dear America,

welcome back,

welcome back to the continuing saga, of the ever enlightening, ever changing, Diary of a Flighty Whitey American Girl.  It may not be in the "every day" per se, or by definition, but when I do...you know...show up --- it comes to you with a certain discriminating flare,  in multiple languages....English (duh), Sarcasm, Cliche, and my personal favorite -- however sparingly -- Profanity.  It's all about current events meeting up with the twists and turns and tumult inside the mind of me -- G.    

Your welcome.

And today, once again, as I gaze upon the political horizon of yet another election cycle in America -- this thing called Trump is whipping up some kind of fury; the opposition, with the Republican establishment surely included, continues to get it's little fanny handed to it, smacked down with no apologies, as The Donald keeps on giving.

For another possible explanation, let's hurry over to The Daily Bell, Nelson Hultberg, in a post from just this morning:

Why? Because Trump represents something untamed and untamable. He represents an outsider who refuses to play the game of "politics as usual" that the good ol' boys have been playing throughout the past 80 years. What the establishment fears about Trump is that he doesn't need to play the role of sycophant to their corporate-banking-bureaucratic combine that rules America. -    (or for that matter, to Univision's Jorge Ramos, either -- to which I say, 'WHATEVER'  LA Times...)

See more, at The Daily Bell, here.

Ramos didn't come into the presser like everybody else -- he spoke out of turn, crossing a border and out of line.  Boom, Get out, you community organizer/activist  masquerading as a journalist/antagonist.  You have a right to ask a question when you are called upon, so sit down and wait your turn.


Now do you get it?
Now do you see why I started with calling myself FLIGHTY right from the get go?

I'm for him before I was against and now finding myself for him all over again.  Stop the insanity.

But now, back to Hultberg's bullet point bucket list on Immigration, crafted from the intentions of a Trump Administration....

It Starts with this:
1. Build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. Until they do, the U.S. will impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages, increase fees on millions of Mexican visas, and if necessary enact tariffs on all Mexican imports. 

And Ends with this:

8. Mandatory return of all criminal aliens to their home countries. 

 But now, you will just have to visit The Daily Bell for 2 through 7.



And now -- about those ANCHOR BABIES.

Let's scurry over to Ann Coulter.  Having written an entire book about the subject of ILLEGAL Immigration and all of it's absurdities, I find her commentary exceptional, witty, and thoroughly researched, bar none.

While if ever there was a need for a good explanation of the 14th Amendment and it's intentions-- mind you, of a post- CIVIL WAR America of the late 1800's! -- the need is NOW.

Here she is  --  the one, the only, Ann Coulter:

In response to O'Reilly's statement that "there is no question the Supreme Court decisions have upheld that portion of the 14th Amendment that says any person, any person born in the U.S.A. is entitled to citizenship ... for 150 years" -- Yoo concurred, claiming: "This has been the rule in American history since the founding of the republic." 

Yes, Americans fought at Valley Forge to ensure that any illegal alien who breaks into our country and drops a baby would have full citizenship for that child! Why, when Washington crossed the Delaware, he actually was taking Lupe, a Mexican illegal, to a birthing center in Trenton, N.J. 

Going back to how I began the day -- commenting upon my own flightiness -- Coulter is another one who sends me swirling in between a love her, love her not, love her, love her not soap opera of my own making.  Vigilance is such a daily curse, isn't it?  But no matter where you fall on Coulter, just gotta give her props for her consummate, unmitigated sarcasm used to perfection every time.

Needless to say,  CONTEXT and CRITICAL THINKING is becoming a lost art in America, kid you not.

Flighty is as flighty does, let's get on with it, shall we........

How did America get here?

yeah,

sit down,

That was rhetorical all the way.


The thing is, it may come down to just this -- the unimaginable loss of an educated electorate to crafty corruption left and right.  

The educated electorate is being undermined by a massive, organic, regenerating flow of illiterate,  uneducated, sorry lot, creating the ever expanding demographic of Americans fully dependent upon the welfare state to save them -- alongside the unconscionable, crony capitalist takeover of our elected body of "Public Servants," perverted and impaired by a penchant for corruption under the guise of social justice and equality and political correctness, masterminding a course correction for all the "imbalances"  of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."   It's all a progressive ruse for the ages.

"Adios America"

Thank you, Ann.

This is what's wrong with America today, the contrasts of mindsets among us -- of intellect, ambition, enlightenment, of a certain  pioneering spirit and self-reliance of the America, and specifically of the Americans,  intended -- and made real by law by our Declaration of Independence and Constitution!

Let's us return to Alexis de Tocueville, tying in remarks of a time gone by:

At the extreme borders of the confederated states, upon the confines of society and wilderness, a population of bold adventurers have taken up their abode, who pierce the solitudes of the American woods....As soon as the pioneer reaches the place which is to serve him for retreat, he fells a  few trees and builds a log house.  Nothing can offer a more miserable aspect than these isolated dwellings....Yet no sort of comparison can be drawn between the pioneer and the dwelling that shelters him.  Everything about him is primitive and wild, but he is himself the result of the labor and experience of eighteen centuries.  He wears the dress and speaks the language of cities; he is acquainted with the past, curious about the future, and ready for argument about the present; he is, in short, a highly civilized being, who penetrates into the wilds of the New World with the Bible, an axe, and some newspapers.  It is difficult to imagine the incredible rapidity with which thought circulates in the midst of these deserts[wilderness].   I do not think that so much intellectual activity exists  in the most enlightened and populous districts of France.  [The 5,000 Year Leap, pg, 253]

And yet, here we are.


Arguing on behalf of the real intentions of the 14th Amendment, written and clarified by numerous cases, as articulated in Coulter's post, summarizing for us in neat, sweet, little nuggets dripping in dulce de leche --

-- Supreme Court opinion in Elk v. Wilkins (1884): 

"The main object of the opening sentence of the 14th Amendment was ... to put it beyond doubt that all persons, white or black, and whether formerly slaves or not, born or naturalized in the United States, and owing no allegiance to any alien power, should be citizens of the United States ... The evident meaning of (the words, "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof") is, not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance. ... Persons not thus subject to the jurisdiction of the United States at the time of birth cannot become so afterward, except by being naturalized ...

Here we are, America.

So --

One candidate really wants to "build a wall and make Mexico pay for it."

One candidate really wants the "mandatory return of all criminal aliens."

One candidate really wants to protect America's sovereignty and make America great again.

Now, there just may be a few things to roll our eyes upon -- even laced with a little attitude con diablo --  but what's not to love?  And just why is the GOP gaming to escort the guy out of the room?

Sure -- one day we love him, the next day we don't; one day he's presidential, the next day he's not.  

This campaign process is a flight of fancy, in a fight or flight kind of way but make no mistake -- America loves this stuff!  Debate is great!   Vigilance is a duty!    Critical thinking, with full context in mind, absolute and required!  This is the stuff Constitutions are written -- and written well!   This is the stuff nations are made or ruined!


Back to Coulter:

But it is a fact that the citizenship of illegal alien kids has never been argued, briefed or ruled on by the Supreme Court. [italicized in bold of my own unruly doing]

Perhaps, given the year 2015, a wee bit of clarification is needed.

But I think --  and speaking for all of us now --  I think we know the truth.

We know that back in 18...whatever...a fourteenth amendment was written for the "African-Americans"  -- formerly known as Negroes, blacks, and at one time in American history,  slaves, and even the children of slaves.   Come the year 2015,  illegal and pregnant South American and Mexican women --  choosing to not only have their baby!  yay! but break American Immigration Law -- crossing America's southern border and giving birth to their pequeño bebé had nothing to do with it.  The 14th Amendment was written for a different time and place (and how!).

It's a fact worthy to mitigate at any time, yet know this:  the facts support American sovereignty and a border that means something.
So ¡siéntese por favor! [Do sit down, please] 
OR better still, 
ponerse a la cola [get in line].

Oooh look at the time, gotta go.
Adios,
and until we meet again, adieu.


Make it a Good Day, G

It's a Little Boys & Big Girls Thing

Dear America,

"Socialism 

is a philosophy of failure, 

the creed of ignorance, 

and the gospel of envy, 

its inherent virtue 

is the equal sharing of misery."  

Winston Churchill

rough week when it comes to men and politics; a one liner that could very well continue to stand on its own, even if you dropped the last two words, if you ask me.

so now you must be wondering, what does Churchill have to do with it?  well in the matter of men and politics, the answer is everything and nothing at the same time.  This morning, this quote seems to say it all:  one good man declaring the utter idiocy of an ideology without one mean-spirited untruth about it.  It's simple eloquence is beyond words.

now, considering I started this "G thing" out of frustration with both subjects [men and politics] just shy of two years ago -- venturing to keep an American girl diary on the day -- I can only imagine what it will feel like twenty years from now, after studying man and politics, smart phones and dumb things, years down the road.  kinda like an Ann Coulter.

I mean, my God, she has been at this for literally decades -- basically, what might very well be all her life if we were to round things up.  How does she do it and keep herself sane?  [yes, so in my humble opinion, G totally believes she is...and how!]  And more that, that girl is one smart cookie.

Ans it goes without saying, that this girl would love to catch her debate any liberal -- just bring it.  Alan Colmes would be chopped up into a hundred pieces as soon as he opens his mouth, that's all I'm saying.  Even James Carville: gone in sixty seconds.  Whatever you could throw at her would be deflected by her armor and sharp wit before three words are out of your mouth; for she has studied 'the other side' as if being her prey -- she knows what you will bring, knowing every deep dark facet of your mindset, and is aptly, fully, methodically leading you into a trap every time.

Granted, she is hard, fierce, stealth on most days; and if we lay it all out there, she has developed one tough heavy duty shell around her, maybe in spite of the deadly, toxic environment in which she lives [and in a snap, it would appear G is returning to Darwinian day of yesterday].   And why?  Because she has had to.

Any conservative writer, commentator, pundit, journalist...friends, neighbors and countrymen...have had to adapt to the conditions on the ground.  And right quick if they want to survive.  While this phenomenon -- visceral attacks on an entire set who just so happen to think differently than the way the left brain thinks -- is set to get worse before it gets better.  To be sure -- and going the way of unemployment numbers, jobs reports and economic growth -- it is, regrettably, very much expected.

But, of course, in the weird way we think in G land, Coulter is so out of my league -- so distinguished in the area of study, of men and politics, of left and right, of good and evil -- I can see how  she can be intimidating to even the most learned leftist thinker.  Coulter is like a tall and skinny brain with a blonde bombshell attached.  What [liberal] man can really hold his own against all that?  [same with you Sydney kitties...you got nothin' on this one]

And really, digging deeper, and at the same time being totally superficial -- just look at her hair!   Every hair is long, straight, blonde,  with not one out of place; every strand stands at attention ready for their next orders.  Who can do that day after day after day?  Humidity, fuggetaboutit.  Fly-aways, not on your life.  Even Coulters hair knows exactly how to respond, no matter the conditions on the ground.  Unheard of....
 
now for me.  G.  my hair never looks the same way twice, let alone 365 days a year, year in and year out.  my locks, are like my blog, you never know whatcha gonna get...even I don't know until I get to the end...for it's like it's got a mind of it's own.  and this may be more information than you care to know, but in my view, regarding my hair, my philosophy seems to fall along the lines 'the messier the better.'  and we're back to how I blog.  that is soooo weird........

wow G, nothing like letting it all hang out this happy friday morn, is there?

Now something she said in an interview relating to Anthony Weiner, the twitter twit, delivered an ah-ha moment in an instant.  She basically said, something to the effect of ...these guys, these politicians behaving badly, are like a warped return of a personal nature.   It dates back to some kind of juvenile injustice of the hormonal kind; that these guys probably couldn't get dates in high school, and now that they have reached gluttonous levels of power and prestige and bank accounts, they feel almost sanctioned, endowed by every right under the privileges of civil servant, to act out.  The little boy who never rated with the girls then, is finally having his day.

One look at Weiner and she might have a point.

She also pointed out something else unexpected:  the infidelity rate for men is at about 15% [just to be fair and balanced, ten for women].   This may sound absurd, but I would have thought far worse.

But let's reintroduce Churchill to the discussion:  Socialism loves chaos -- the civil unrest, lack of jobs, loss of scruples, debauchery and lawlessness of all kinds.  It feeds off of the unrest like a "philosophy of failure,

the creed of ignorance, 

and the gospel of envy, 

its inherent virtue
is the equal sharing of misery".

The thing is, it is a good day for America if these infidelity numbers ring true.  This means we are returning - or quite possibly never left --  an era when integrity and honor actually means something.  Being loyal to the love we have for another, becomes something we fight for, live for, yearn for. Like most everything, the eighty-twenty rule seems to rule the day.  There will always be some people willing to stick their reputation and honor on the line for a cheap thrill, a fast high, a quick twit with someone they don't even know.  There will always be that, because human nature is not infallible.  We fail sometimes.

The good news is that most of us really don't.   Most of us want a shared life of happiness ever after; most of us want to do the right thing for our baby; most of us want to expect the other person to treat us with loving care and do the same in return.  This is what we want, as a majority.

These may be universal values when it is all said and done -- but the reality is, like it or not, every bit of it comes with a conservative underpinning.

More Americans believe in the right to life, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in less government, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in the free market, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in God, a Creator, than those who do not.

More Americans believe in traditional marriage, than those who do not.

More Americans believe and respect our Constitution, than those who do not.

More Americans believe you teach a man to fish and all else shall be added unto you, than those who don't.

This president was raised deeply rooted in the teachings of social justice -- having been raised by a mother and grandparents who believed in Socialism, following the dreams from my father anchored in Marxism, and being a staunch believer in community organizers far and wide -- the unions, the alinsky armies, groups with intent to bring about civil unrest, creating social divides and conflicts when there should be none.

In a way, our president was raised with the deep understanding of man and politics, especially of the social justice kind, through and through.

then there is this:

"It is a happy circumstance

in human affairs

that evils which are not cured in one way 

will cure themselves in some other."

--Thomas Jefferson

Which brings me nearly full circle.

You know what I would like to see; I would like to see Obama up against the Coul-train of thought.  They are like exact opposites in most every way, are they not? [talking just politics here, not talkin' race or hair color at all.. even though for kicks and giggles we could go down that track too...he is black and she is white; his hair, very short and going grey by the minute; hers, long and highlighted, probably every six to eight weeks. now see,  that wasn't so bad now was it? ...ah so quickly we can digress, no?]

Obama believes that government is what saves the stupid people who know no better....the "philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."  even if he never says it out loud, this is what he believes.  so much so, he is fundamentally transforming America on these very ideas as we speak.

Coulter, not so much.  She believes in the philosophy of prosperity, the creed of knowledge, goodness and charity, and the gospel of God's grace, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of opportunity, with no guarantee of happiness, come today or tomorrow.

Continuing on now, as if I know her as much as I hate her perfect hair --  she believes that good and evil lives in each new day, and it is how we respond to it, with it, and around it, that creates a country worth saving no matter what other people say.  She walks her talk and is willing to debate anyone, anywhere, anytime, about it.  and to anyone who gives it a go, good luck with that.  Anthony Weiner would be fun to watch; but now, then again, like high school, she wouldn't give him the time of day.

as we started out the day, men and politics are an interesting breed, indeed; having already admitted, just men, in general, is enough said.  [don't hate, I love you guys -- matter of fact, a couple of you are worth having my heart xoxo]  But in all honesty, it may take a lifetime for a girl to fully understand them; AND, fair is fair -- it comes with an equal portion and obligation of boy understanding girl.  That is what makes life so fabulous and worth living, if I don't say so myself.  Some days, you just never know what you're gonna get.

and with that the day is done.

Make it a Good Day, G

how about this guy...
