Entry: Goodbye to Politics Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/goodbye_to_politics#13591 Post contents: 1. Don: The British Empire, like the American, largely fought hopelessly weak opponents (Indians, American Indians, and latter-day paleolithics) When faced with an equal on battlefield, Brits and Gringos either have been bested or win either by taking a gang into battle or, in the manner of Grant, Foch, and Haig, not by strategy but by just having more cannon fodder. Well now the “paleolithics” have learned 4th Generation War; using that kind of war, they beat the British Empire, and now are beating the Gringo Empire. 2. Once again, Gringos know nothing about forming political parties. We need a new Jeffersonian Party, 100 years after Wilson destroyed the old one. If Jeffersonians can learn the the art of party formation, there may still be hope. 3. I give Adriana’s remarks another twist. The Road to Serfdom is reaching its terminus. Gringos (and Europeans and Canadians) are Serfs of The State. Gringo feminists, having giving up their husbands, now en-serf themselves to Leviathan. The old company town is now run by the Federal Behemoth. Ron Paul wants to take an easy paycheck away from people (who don’t realize than they’d have more money with lower taxes). 4. All politics is ...... regional. Iowa and NH have little in common. So naturally the results are different. They may be different in South Carolina. Ferdinand Braudel is correct. Things don’t change. New England hasn’t changed since 1641. It is inhabited by Puritans and (around the edges of New England) “Scots-Irish”, the latter quickly indoctrinated by the former into “The principal pleasure of New England”: hate. The successive Catholic ethnics also fell into line. So yesterday a “Scots-Irish” warrior won the Republican vote, and a Puritan won in Nurse Ratched, she ever ready to make Gringoland look like Salem MA. We'll see with South Carolina. My prediction, for what it's worth: Most of the state is upcountry "Scots Irish", and they like a warrior and will vote for McCain. Blacks will vote for Obama. Feminists, school teachers, and the old will vote for Nurse Ratched. 5. The press (and their pollsters) is lying. They knew their gal Hillary would win. They only wished to make her look like “The Comeback Kid”. It took a while this morning to find the actual percentage of her vote in the morning news. Sent at: 2009 01 07
