Attention Republicans: Stop Scapegoating Others for Your Own Personal Failures

Posted on | December 5, 2019 | 1 Comment

Ted Bundy in his 1965 high school yearbook.

One of the hallmarks of a sociopath is his inability to accept personal responsibility for his own failures. The sociopath is dishonest and cruel by nature, seeking to manipulate others through deception — he is a compulsive liar — and taking pleasure in humiliating his chosen enemies. These antisocial traits may be cunningly concealed by a mask of charm. This is why sociopaths are so often successful con men. Or politicians. Before he became infamous as a serial killer, many people who knew Ted Bundy personally found him to be a charming and attractive person.

Did I mention that Ted Bundy was a Republican?

[Bundy] volunteered at the Seattle office of Nelson Rockefeller’s [1968] presidential campaignand became Arthur Fletcher’s driver and bodyguard during Fletcher’s campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Washington State.
In August of that year, Bundy attended the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami as a Rockefeller delegate. . . .
In 1971, he took a job at Seattle’s Suicide Hotline Crisis Center, where he met and worked alongside Ann Rule, a former Seattle police officer and aspiring crime writer, who would later write one of the definitive Bundy biographies, The Stranger Beside Me. Rule saw nothing disturbing in Bundy’s personality at the time, and described him as “kind, solicitous, and empathetic”.
After graduating from [the University of Washington] in 1972, Bundy joined [Republican] Governor Daniel J. Evans’ re-election campaign. . . . Evans appointed Bundy, ironically, to the Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Committee. After Evans was re-elected, Bundy was hired as an assistant to Ross Davis, Chairman of the Washington State Republican Party. Davis thought well of Bundy and described him as “smart, aggressive … and a believer in the system”.

Far be it from me to compare, for example, Bill Kristol to Ted Bundy, but the point I wish to make is that a person can be charming, intelligent, persuasive and, also, a dangerous sociopath. No one can deny that some Republicans fit this description, and their sociopathic tendencies become obvious when they refuse to accept responsibility for their own failure. The “Never Trump” crowd lack the political skill necessary to successfully run a winning primary campaign and yet, when all of their schemes to prevent Donald Trump from winning the 2016 GOP nomination came to naught, the “Never Trump” crowd didn’t blame themselves for this failure. Instead, they blamed — well, you, if you voted for Trump.

Among other things, this is poor sportsmanship. Auburn beat Alabama on Saturday, but Auburn wasn’t to blame — no, ’Bama lost that game, far more than Auburn won it, and no player on the Crimson Tide could deny that they failed, both individually and as a team. So, in 2008 and 2012, Republicans could have nominated anyone for president, but instead they nominated first John McCain and then Mitt Romney. Well, who is to blame that those two losers lost? Did John McCain ever admit his own political incompetence? Did Mitt Romney ever accept responsibility for his role in re-electing Obama? No, of course not. John McCain (and his supporters, including Nicolle Wallace) made a scapegoat of Sarah Palin, and Mitt Romney . . . well, he spent six years campaigning for the GOP nomination (counting the two years he put into his failed bid for the 2008 nomination) and you might have thought that somewhere during that time he might have gotten a clue. But no, he was clueless the whole time and — hang on, I’ll check — yeah, he’s still clueless.

What is it that these #NeverTrump losers don’t understand? Well, OK, everything — they’re completely without a clue. But what they specifically don’t understand is that Bushism is over. It’s finished. It failed. It’s “pining for the fjords,” so to speak. The so-called “center-right” strategy of Bush-era Republicanism (i.e., be nice and try not to offend liberals) never actually worked. Recall that Al Gore won a majority of the popular vote in 2000, and that Bush just barely edged John Kerry in 2004. The illusion of “success” for the center-right strategy is what inspires the tantrums of the #NeverTrump crowd, who want to go back to what they see as the Golden Era of Republican prestige, when we had half-a-million troops in Iraq and middle-class suburbanites were all re-financing their homes and investing with Lehman Brothers. What Trump did in 2016 was to throw away the Karl Rove playbook and go after the votes of people who were sick and tired of “nice” Republicans.

And, oh, by the way, how many kids does your typical Republican have? Because somewhere along the line, it seems that America developed a shortage of children, and this in turn led to the idea that we should just import foreigners as substitutes for children Americans weren’t having. Did John McCain or Mitt Romney — or Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush — ever say anything about demographics?

In the summer of 2018, journalist Vivian Yee amused herself with the thought that Orange Country, California, was once an agricultural, “conservative (think Richard Nixon and the John Birch Society) and white (very, very white),” slice of America. But “Chinese and Korean immigrants, and Asian-Americans from other states,” she wrote on the eve of the midterm election, “have made Irvine nearly half Asian.”
Asians, Yee noted, are reliably liberal on gun control, climate change, and public spending. . . .
With the midterms at the time of Yee’s writing just over the colorful California horizon, Yee, along with the Democratic Party and left-wing intelligentsia, saw the writing on the wall. Five months later, analysis of the midterm vote by the Pew Research Center showed that 77 percent of Asians went for the Democratic candidate on the ballot, compared to 69 percent of Latinos and 90 percent of blacks. By November 17, all of Orange County had been delivered to the Democratic Party. . . .
“One way Democrats could capture states like Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan,” said MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, “boils down to mobilizing hundreds of thousands of ‘new American citizens.’” Data from the progressive group New American Leaders show that in these key states, “new citizens” outnumber voters who, as Velshi said, “separated Trump from Clinton in 2016 by a lot.”
An analysis of Census Bureau statistics for the 2018 midterm elections by Ronald Brownstein, a senior editor at The Atlantic, found that “Democrats now control more than 80 percent of the House seats in which minorities exceed their national share of the population, and nearly 90 percent of the seats with more immigrants than average.”
In other words, every congressional district across the country where the foreign-born population exceeds approximately 14 percent had a 90 percent chance of being dominated by Democrats. Note that in 1990, Virginia’s foreign-born population was 5 percent, compared to 12.5 percent in 2017.
Trump lost Virginia in 2016 by 5 points but won white voters 59-35. On the other hand, he won Georgia by just 5 points, even though he took white voters 75-21. It is not, therefore, “college-educated white liberals”—another favorite conservative scapegoat—who are the mainspring of the Democratic Party’s march. Pew Research data show 6-in-10 minority Americans are Millennials, Generation Z, or younger. The most common age for minorities is 27, according to Pew, compared to 58 for whites. Analysis of 2018 Census data by the Brookings Institution found that less than half of children under 15 are white. . . .

Read the rest of that by Pedro Gonzalez and think about those numbers. Isn’t it obvious that any future for the Republican Party depends on (a) maximizing its share of the white vote, and (b) doing something to reduce the tsunami of immigration by which Democrats are importing new voters? Also, you could add (c) figuring out why white people don’t want to have children. Everybody talks about economic factors, but when my wife and I had our first baby, we didn’t have two nickels to rub together, and now with six kids and four (soon to be five) grandchildren, our financial situation is still quite shaky. My father once said to me, “Son, if you wait to have children until you can afford to have children, you’ll never have children.” I’ve long since gotten used to the idea that parenthood causes poverty, or vice-versa, and so what?

Would you rather have money or grandchildren? This is not a rhetorical question, because the selfishness and immaturity of the Millennial generation has driven U.S. birth rates to a historic low. As a result, a lot of Baby Boomers (now ages 55-73) are starting to lose hope of ever becoming grandparents. Their kids are in their 30s, unmarried and childless, and apparently in no hurry to change that status. This problem is not about money — poor people keep having lots of babies — it’s about a selfish status-obsessed attitude typical of the spoiled offspring of the suburban middle class. And hey, whose fault is that?

You have no idea how often, at CPAC and other gatherings of young conservatives in Washington, I’d meet young couples and ask them, “When’s the wedding?” Republicans are supposed to be the party of “family values,” but there’s a lot of fornication going on among young GOP operatives who, like others in their generation, prefer screwing around to settling down. Given what we know about the fertility of human females (which begins declining at age 25, and slides sharply after 35), the woman who does not become a mother before she’s 30 is highly likely never to have children. And you might think that conservatives who claim to be “pro-life” and “pro-family” would actually be doing something in their own lives to uphold the values they claim. Instead, they’re in the bars on Capitol Hill every night, partying like there’s no tomorrow. The future leaders of the Republican Party, and young “conservative” journalists, are living no differently than young Democrats and liberal journalists, and when some old codger like me points to the demographic trend, the reaction of these young Republican hedonists is to shrug: “Who, me?” They don’t have any sense of personal responsibility, and cannot make the mental connection between (a) the dire demographic forecasts, and (b) their own dissolute lifestyle.

Six years ago, Sen. Lamar Alexander’s chief of staff was arrested for child pornography. Ryan Loskarn was into “sexually explicit” videos of little boys. Loskarn committed suicide at age 35. That’s an extreme example of the degeneracy among Republicans in D.C., but less extreme cases are a dime a dozen. The extent to which the GOP machinery is staffed with drunks and perverts is not trivial. And, to return to my theme, this problem is related to the sociopathic tendency of some Republicans to scapegoat others for their own failures. There are a lot of people earning six-figure incomes as Republican operatives who are fundamentally incompetent, and who resort to blame-game rationalizations to explain away their failures. Bullies and backstabbers proliferate in the toxic environment of GOP politics, where consultants care more about getting paid than they do about winning elections. And like Ted Bundy, a lot of these monsters are superficially charming people.

Don’t let these “nice” Republicans fool you — they’re in politics for the money, and they’ll do whatever it takes to get that money. Donald Trump’s success has shaken up the game to such an extent as to deprive some of those operatives of lucrative financial opportunities, so when #NeverTrump types claim their “principles” are at stake, they mean the “principle” that involves them getting lots of money.

Nicolle Wallace has a nice contract at MSNBC, eh?

The people who ran the Republican Party into the toilet — the people who were part of the Bush/McCain/Romney money train — don’t want to accept responsibility for their failure, and so they blame the 63 million Americans who voted for Trump. You are the problem, not them. You’re a stupid ignorant racist, and they’re better than you.

Well, I wouldn’t accept a ride from them, if you get my drift.

Professor Demands Censorship

Posted on | December 4, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Thomas J. Main is a professor of Public and International Affairs at the City University of New York’s (CUNY) Baruch College. He has recently published a book entitled The Rise of the Alt-Right although, unlike me, I don’t suppose he’s ever met anyone who was “alt-right.” Professor Main’s expertise, you see, consists entirely of his hatred for the “alt-right.” This is how liberalism works: Any liberal can claim to be an expert in anything (e.g., climate change) and none of his peers will question his credentials, so long as he has the correct (i.e., liberal) opinion on the subject.

Once upon a time, liberals were adamantly in favor of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Defending the First Amendment rights of Communists to advocate on behalf of Stalinism, for example, was once considered the duty of every bien-pensant liberal. More recently, however — and 2016 seems to have been the tipping point — liberals have begun demanding that anyone who disagrees with them should be silenced. Thus, Professor Main writes in the Los Angeles Times:

After the 2017 “Unite the Right” gathering in Charlottesville, Va., during which counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed by a rally attendee, a lot of pundits predicted the demise of the alt-right movement. And for a while, it seemed as if they might be right.
In the aftermath of Charlottesville, alt-right websites spewing white nationalist, misogynist and anti-Semitic diatribes were banned from standard internet service providers, and the de-platforming took a toll. . . .
But the reversal didn’t last. In an era where the U.S. president has offered support for alt-right thinking and new communications technologies have expanded the reach of fringe ideas, the movement quickly sprang back. The alt-right’s web audience is now significantly larger than it was before its supposed Waterloo at Charlottesville, and the Daily Stormer and other publications have found new web platforms from which to broadcast their hate-filled messages. . . .
Without intervention, the alt-right will continue to endure and grow, with predictable violent results. Rebutting the rising tide of illiberalism requires not simply a technological fix, but an intellectual and political response. Certainly, cesspools of hate such as 8chan must be shut down — for good, this time. But we also need, in the short term, sharp but civil rebuttal of alt-right ideologies from influential Americans. Longer-term, and more importantly, we need much better civic education and a government that can effectively address the economic and social issues that underlie alt-right support.

Answer me this, Professor: How is one to offer “sharp but civil rebuttal of alt-right ideologies” if, as you say, adherents of those ideologies are to be denied any platform on which to express them?

Yet this leads to another question the Professor cannot answer: If the ideas expressed on “cesspools of hate” are so self-evidently wrong, as you seem to believe, then why are so many millions of people directing their attention to these online venues? In other words, while I certainly don’t endorse some of the viewpoints expressed by the “alt-right,” and would never approve any advocacy of lawless violence, it occurs to me that there must be something the “alt-right” is offering, as an alternative to “mainstream” journalism, that must be considered valuable to its online audience. Permit me to quote a Virginia slave owner:

“Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself … she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.”

So wrote Thomas Jefferson in the  Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and what he wrote more than 200 years ago, I still believe. Alas, I’m not an “expert” like Professor Main.

Pedophiles for Hillary: Mueller Source Indicted for Campaign Finance Fraud

Posted on | December 4, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Another typical Democrat:

George Nader, a convicted pedophile that special counsel Robert Mueller used in his Russia investigation, was indicted on Tuesday for allegedly concealing millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
“The Justice Department refers only to an unidentified 2016 presidential candidate, but campaign finance records make clear that the candidate was Clinton,” Politico reported.
In a statement, the U.S. Department of Justice wrote:

According to the indictment, from March 2016 through January 2017, Khawaja conspired with Nader to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions, directed to political committees associated with a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 election. By design, these contributions appeared to be in the names of Khawaja, his wife, and his company. In reality, they allegedly were funded by Nader. Khawaja and Nader allegedly made these contributions in an effort to gain influence with high-level political figures, including the candidate. As Khawaja and Nader arranged these payments, Nader allegedly reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain influence.

Foreign interference in an American election? Investigate!

Against Extremism

Posted on | December 3, 2019 | Comments Off on Against Extremism

But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao,
You ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

What John Lennon said about left-wing radicals 50 years ago is wise advice that should be heeded by radicals of the “alt-right” today, although we might need to alter the lyrics slightly: If you go carrying pictures of Ernst Rohm, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.

The disastrous carnival of madness at Charlottesville in August 2017 was, for these young extremists, what the 1969 “Days of Rage” were to the SDS — proof that their movement had been seized by a totalitarian spirit incompatible with the mainstream of American political life.

What’s weird to me is that I actually knew so many of the guys involved in that scene. Here I was, a mild-mannered bourgeois grandfather enjoying life in my cozy family home amid the Appalachian hills, while that insane riot was going down, with latter-day Sturmabteilung mixing it up with Antifa thugs on the streets next to a Confederate monument near the campus of the University of Virginia. And I do not hesitate to admit that, for example, I’ve known Richard Spencer since 2007 and, when he was editor at Taki’s Magazine, I wrote several columns for them. You can read there, for example, my sarcastic thoughts about being “hate-listed” by the SPLC. (Wow, what a flashback — the time I introduced Suzanna Logan to Richard Spencer!) Even then, I knew that Richard was two or three clicks to the right of me; as I’ve said, what happened to Richard was that he read Nietzsche at a young age, and took it seriously. By the time I read Nietzsche, I was in my mid-30s, with a wife and three kids, and had been forewarned about the dangers of Nietzsche’s nihilism. Still, it was a disturbing experience to encounter Beyond Good and Evil and wonder, “What if he’s right?” That’s the thing about me — even when dealing with arguments that directly oppose my own values, I try to step back and objectively consider the possibility that I’ve overlooked something and thus might be, in some sense, mistaken in my beliefs.

Over the years, I’ve read all kinds of “extremist” literature — Marxism, feminism, whatever — and had to deal with these contradictions, but if you aren’t willing to confront your antagonist’s arguments directly (e.g., reading four entire books by Andrea Dworkin), you’re guilty of intellectual cowardice. That’s the problem with most liberals — they’ve never bothered to examine and carefully consider the best work of conservative thinkers. One of these days, I might meet a liberal who has actually read Thomas Sowell, but if it ever happens, that will be the first time it’s happened. Because liberalism is so pervasive among the college-educated classes, including the overwhelming majority of journalists, it’s easy for them to follow the herd and live inside an echo-chamber where everyone they respect and take seriously agrees with them. And so the rest of us, in the “basket of deplorables,” are dismissed as ignorant bigots, no matter how intelligent or well-educated we might be.

If you’ve ever had the chance to meet some of the intellectuals who have inspired the “alt-right,” you know how false the stereotype is. Paul Gottfried, Peter Brimelow, Jared Taylor, Amy Wax — they are not stupid, nor should they be dismissed as “haters” simply because they have devoted themselves to contradicting the liberal (and neoconservative) narrative about controversial issues including racial problems. Neither is it fair to blame “alt-right” intellectuals for violence perpetrated by the kind of idiots whose idea of a fun summer weekend is doing Hitlerjugend cosplay at a protest rally. (Here’s a clue for you boys: If you don’t want to be treated like a stereotype, don’t act like a stereotype.) Any intelligent person understands that, whatever “cause” you claim to represent, you will discredit your cause in the eyes of most Americans if you resort to lawless violence. That’s the story of #BlackLivesMatter in a nutshell — how many riots did we need to see before deciding that this was a bad movement? I’m certain that the Charlotte, N.C., riot in September 2016 played a crucial role in tipping the election to President Trump. The facts of that particular case — the local police chief was black, and the suspect was a career criminal — contradict the #BlackLivesMatter narrative of racist white cops murdering innocent black men in cold blood.

Anyone who would both to investigate the facts could see that this liberal victimhood narrative was false, and Heather Mac Donald, author of The War on Cops, pointed out that a police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by black man than the other way around. The mythology of #BlackLivesMatter was based on a lie, and that lie was not trivial. Protecting the public from crime is one of the most basic duties of government, and the dangerous falsehoods propagated in the name of “social justice” undermine the safety of every American — especially black people, who are most often the victims of violence perpetrated by black criminals. Why is it “racism” to tell the truth about this?

People get angry when they know they have been deceived, so if white voters were angry in November 2016, whose fault is that? When is CNN going to admit its role in creating the “alt-right”? If the mainstream media would just tell the truth, maybe people wouldn’t be so angry.

However angry we are, and however justified our anger might be, we must resist the siren voices who would lure us to destruction. If conservatives understand their duty to defend civilization against decadence, anarchy, barbarism and tyranny, then it is obvious that the August 2017 riot at Charlottesville was contrary to that duty. Never mind the role of Left in precipitating that violence; whose idea was it to invite every skinhead and Klansman on the continent to that rally? Who decided that a nighttime tiki-torch parade, a scene straight out of Triumph of the Will, was “good optics” for the Right?

Well, I’ve rambled on for nearly a thousand words, when all I wanted to do was to talk about the SPLC’s smear of Stephen Miller:

For most of its history, a wise observer once remarked, the American conservative movement has been an oxymoron: it doesn’t move anywhere and has never conserved anything. The man who made that observation died a few years ago, but not before suffering the common fate of anyone who tells the truth in America. He was denounced as a racist, banished from polite society, and “hate-listed” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Such is the destructive fate that liberals (and some misguided soi-disant “conservatives”) have in mind for Stephen Miller, the senior adviser to President Trump. If you are a conservative who just stumbled onto this column online, and you are too busy to read past the first paragraph, let me sum it up succinctly: Protecting Miller from this dishonest attack is as vital to the future of the Republican Party as it is to oppose the Democrats’ efforts to impeach our president.
Even his worst enemies will admit that Stephen Miller is a genius. Whatever his IQ might be, it’s almost certainly at least one standard deviation above the average of your typical Republican political strategist. Miller has an uncanny knack for spotting the key stress points in our long-running culture war and finding ways to leverage these conflicts to gain support for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda. It is precisely because he has been so effective that the Left has long sought a way to destroy him, and it is frankly shocking that a former writer for Breitbart News was willing to assist the president’s enemies in this project by leaking hundreds of emails to the SPLC. . . .

Black Woman’s Presidential Campaign Rejected by Racist Sexist Democrats

Posted on | December 3, 2019 | 1 Comment

 

Why do Democrats hate black women?

Kamala Harris ended her presidential campaign on Tuesday after months of failing to lift her candidacy from the bottom of the field — a premature departure for a California senator once heralded as a top-tier contender for the nomination.
Harris told aides of her intentions in an all-staff call, and a person familiar with the conversation said she sounded distraught. While Harris had qualified for the December debate in her home state later this month, she was running dangerously low on cash — lacking the resources to air TV ads in Iowa — and her staff was gripped by long-running internal turmoil.
Still, the news came as a shock to some of her biggest supporters. Just as Harris was announcing the news internally, a super PAC had cleared more than $1 million in TV ads in Iowa to boost her struggling campaign. The ad, which argued she was the best-equipped candidate to take on President Donald Trump, was canceled.
“Eleven months ago at the launch of our campaign in Oakland I told you all: ‘I am not perfect.’ But I will always speak with decency and moral clarity and treat all people with dignity and respect. I will lead with integrity. I will speak the truth. And that’s what I have tried to do every day of this campaign. So here’s the truth today,” Harris wrote in a note to supporters.
“I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life. My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.”
Harris, who spent Thanksgiving in Iowa with family, took a deep look at the campaign’s resources over the holiday and decided she did not have a path to the nomination.

How perfect is this? Kamala Harris got beat by a gay white guy, a fake Cherokee and a socialist Jew. Trump couldn’t have planned it any better as a way to inflame racial paranoia in the African-American community.  I’m sure Vladimir Putin must be delighted by this news . . .

UPDATE: Yeah, this is the kind of headline I want to see:

Leader of Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’
On Kamala Harris Dropping Out:
‘Racism and Sexism!’

Democrats are now divided and demoralized.

“Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen . . .”
