Punk Rock Republicanism Will Win

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 10/15/2021 8:15:19 AM

These political terms we use to describe our personal beliefs have never been so misleading. In America, Republican voters are labeled as “conservative,” even though they strongly believe in the inalienable freedoms first defended by our revolutionary forefathers, who rebelled against traditional governing institutions and embraced Enlightenment liberalism. Democrats call themselves “liberal,” even though they believe that “progress” can occur only if Americans relinquish their individual rights and embrace “ends justify the means,” “cradle to grave” collectivism. So the party that does not believe in protecting individual liberties is oxymoronically called “liberal,” and the party that distrusts government and places the sanctity of personal freedom ahead of any reverence

Ask yourself if you think the stodgy old dinosaurs running the Republican party have any punk rock in them. Wishful thinking on the part of the author; but the reality of the GOP is quite a different thing. Most are indistinguishable from their commie counterparts on the other side of the Politburo.

As former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon said, "I'd never thought I'd see the day where the right wing would become the cool ones giving the finger to the establishment, and the left wing becoming the sniveling self-righteous twatty ones going around shaming everyone."

Dittos on the Sex Pistols. They were some angry blokes. Great "get" by #3 in providing us John Lydon's quote. We rockers remembered that one, which wasn't from too long ago. There have always been a few rockers with the courage to offend those who must be offended. In the studio version of the Kinks "20th Century Man" (Muswell Hillbillies, 1971, Ray Davies) the "middle 8" three minutes into the song was memorable (love brother Dave Davies's electric guitar arpeggios during these sixteen bars). "I was born in a welfare state, ruled by bureaucracy, controlled by civil servants, and people dressed in grey. Got no privacy, got no liberty, 'cause the 20th Century people took it all away from me." Way ahead of its time. Album cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfW84qMp5ck Hearing Pete Townshend defend the World War II action by the Allies (our side) gave me some appreciation that he remembers and understands history. Townshend was born in May 1945 as the Fuhrer-less Nazi regime was being deleted. His "Won't Get Fooled Again" is an anthem for those who philosophically agree with us, not to mention the greatest title ever of a rock and roll song..

As I have been saying...labels are misleading. Most of today's so-called "conservatives" are actually true "liberals " in the classic definition of the word. We are "conservative" because we are like our radical Forefathers, who were truly liberal. Their principles of self-governance, self-determination, equality, freedom, liberty and individual unalienable rights were unheard of in their day. Those who are Leftist are not liberal in any way and we should never call them that. To do so only helps them continue to mislead well-meaning people and unnecessarily hurts our cause. Until we learn to stop referring to tyrants as "liberal", we will never fully achieve our goals to restore our nation as it was intended to be.

Forget Covid, Oregon is experiencing a pot emergency. Who knew that when the woke state of Oregon began turning out marijuana matriculators from its own Cannabis Institute, Pot U, years before weed was legal, people might get the notion that the state was sweet. Now, Jackson County officials have declared a state of emergency because nefarious pot farmers are behaving badly. They’ve asked Governor Kate “Defund Police” Brown for state help to fend off the bad actors. Pot U, motto: Legum Servi Sumus ut Lubiri esse Possimus – ad Iudicium! ~ We are slaves to the law so that we may be free!) may not have fully communicated the message

My essays under the “Spengler” byline debuted in January 2000 with a meditation on tech stocks. I forecast that—contrary to the then-prevailing wisdom—Internet equities would blossom by feeding on the moral rot of the society underneath them. Not in my darkest rumination could I have envisioned the corruption of a whole generation of American youth through smartphones and social media, as documented by Prof. Jean Twenge of the University of California San Diego. I repost below my maiden essay, “What if Internet Stocks Aren’t a Bubble?” This has direct bearing upon Prof. Justin Yifu Lin’s thesis that China today stands with respect to the United States as the

Obituary notices are not usually a source of great fun. If one should not speak ill of the recently dead, unless they were utter monsters such as Pol Pot, one should not speak facetiously of them, either. The temptation is nevertheless great. Bette Davis said, on learning of Joan Crawford’s death, “You should never say anything bad about the dead, only good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” I think it was she who also said that just because someone was dead, it didn’t make him a better person. And once in The Lancet, back in the days when it ran obituaries of most doctors who died in Britain,

The conventional wisdom from the left is that COVID is the reason that shipping containers are in the waters off California with no stevedores or truckers available to take care of them. The implication, of course, is that if people would stop being selfish and take the vaccines, the whole problem would magically vanish. That’s nonsense. As a couple of astute articles explain, the problem is that California has passed two laws—one for “climate change” and the other as a sop to the unions—that destroyed much of California’s trucking industry. Add in woes unique to the industry and COVID payments that discourage people from working and...voila!...empty Christmas stockings.  CORRECTION*

“Che Guevara’s contribution to the Bay of Pigs victory was crucial,” writes Che hagiographer Jorge Castaneda, also a New York Times contributor, visiting Professor at Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, and NYU, and former Mexican Foreign Minister. “Che's military leadership was permeated by an indomitable will that permitted extraordinary feats." Well, “extraordinary” is certainly one way of putting it. I refer to Che Guevara’s being wounded during that tragic battle. The wound, you see, came from a bullet that entered Che’s face just under his chin and exited under his ear doing only slight cosmetic damage to that forthcomingly famous Hollywood and Madison Avenue visage. Alas, the bullet was fired by Che himself

On Wednesday, CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, sat down with Joe Rogan for an extensive interview. The reason for the appearance was Gupta’s new book, World War C: Lesson From the COVID-19 Pandemic and How to Prepare for the Next One. The lesson everyone should take away from the fallout of the interview is don’t ever make the corporate media your only source of information in a crisis. Anyone familiar with Joe Rogan’s podcast knows they are long, cover topics not remotely implied by the primary reason for the interview, and the host can be relentless. In his interview with Gupta, the fireworks erupted when discussing COVID-19.

The suspected gunman in the 2018 Parkland mass shooting is reportedly planning to enter a guilty plea and will inform a judge of his decision at a hearing in Florida on Friday. Florida's WSVN-7 reported on Thursday that the 23-year-old Nikolas Cruz will announce his intention to enter a guilty plea at a status hearing before Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer. In August 2018, he confessed to killing students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The Broward County Public Defender's Office did not confirm or deny that Cruz would plead guilty on Thursday. Cruz could still be sentenced to death for the shootings despite a guilty plea.

Among the materials Panorama has recommended for educators is an essay by terrorist emeritus and Obama pal Bill Ayers. Titled "I Shall Create!

President Joe Biden spoke briefly on Thursday in an effort to continue to urge Americans to get vaccinated, only now he's pressing that message to US parents, as well. He claimed that parents are anxiously awaiting the shots to be approved for children ages 5 to 11, and that school boards, and others, are working to dispel misinformation about vaccines and COVID-inspired restrictions. After his short speech, he walked away without taking any questions. Biden spoke with pride of his "plans" to "accelerate the path out of this pandemic." "It's working," he said.

One of the wonders of the modern age is that fossil fuel allows us to avoid freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer. Climate change fanatics, however, who ignore that the Earth's climate has cycled endlessly between hot and cold for billions of years, desperately want to return us to a pre-modern state. Their efforts are paying off, for the U.S. government is warning of a 54% increase in winter heating bills. Upon entering the Oval Office, Biden immediately shut down the Keystone Pipeline and ended new drilling on federal lands. While Trump had brought America to energy independence and affordable energy, Biden reduced America to

"Research obtained by a group of scientists shows the COVID vaccine spike protein can travel from the injection site and accumulate in organs and tissues including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands and in 'quite high concentrations' in the ovaries." This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now,” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario.

Donald Trump had an incredible legacy as president, but sometimes he can be his own worst enemy. More broadly, as the leader of the Republican Party, he’s ensuring that his self-inflicted wounds damage not only his own (presumed) electoral chances but those of other Republicans as well. Clearly, Trump has yet to get over the fact that he is not the one currently sitting in the White House following the 2020 election. It’s true that millions of Americans wish he were currently the president, enacting policies to make America great. But as they say, if wishes were horses, then

Noel Hacegaba, deputy executive director of the Port of Long Beach, said expanding the ports’ operating hours will not impact the supply chain disruptions given the continued shortage of truck drivers, chassis equipment, and warehouse operations and space. “We think it’ll be summer of 2022 before we clear all 60 ships,” Hacegaba told The Epoch Times Oct. 14. “Of course, if we take some measures now, and everyone in the supply chain starts expanding
