Jeff Sessions for President
We found a leader, but hardly anybody noticed. Never mind Rubio and Ryan, or people named Bush. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama is the best we’ve got, and he’s plenty good. In fact, his words on the Senate floor when he implored his colleagues to reject the nomination of Jack Lew for Treasury secretary are as good as it gets. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anything as elegant, compelling, honorable, and philosophically coherent as Sessions’ speech on the 27th of February.
You probably missed it, what with all the excitement of the epic gladiatorial combat between Bob Woodward and the White House, and the Hagel confirmation carnival, and the Rodman diplomatic mission to Pyongyang.
Sessions laid out Lew’s incredible record of catastrophic budget proposals, which, as Sessions noted, had been unanimously rejected by Congress and decimated in scholarly and editorial analyses. But all that, terrible though it was, and quite sufficient to disqualify anyone from running Treasury, was in a way the least of it. The worst was Lew’s nonchalance in lying to the Senate.
I have discussed his repeated, knowing, and deliberately false statements about those budget plans—most notoriously his claim that “Our budget will get us, over the next several years, to the point where we can look the American people in the eye and say we’re not adding to the debt anymore; we’re spending money that we have each year, and then we can work on bringing down our national debt.”
All false, knowingly and deliberately false. Sessions refused to sit for it. He moved into more philosophical territory, urging the rejection of Lew not only because the man himself is unworthy of the office, but to “defend the integrity of the Senate, to defend the right of our constituents to hear the truth from government officials, and to defend the idea, the very concept, of truth itself.”
Because if you vote for Lew, you’re refusing to stand up for the truth, not just about this one nomination, but about what’s happening to America. About what President Obama is doing to us. Sessions put it so clearly that even the proverbial blind man could see it: whereas the president has repeatedly said that he had a plan to “pay down our debt,” he doesn’t. It’s totally false. The proof? “This is the 1,400th day since Senate Democrats passed a budget.”
If Obama and the Democrats had a plan, we’d have seen it. They don’t have one. Why not? Sessions: “Because they decided it would be better to offer no solution, no plan to help struggling Americans, and instead to tear down anyone who dared to offer a plan to solve our nation’s economic problems.”
The president and his followers have no interest in solving our problems; their interest is in annihilating the opposition. Sessions: “attack anyone who dares to reduce the size of the bureaucracy. Attack anyone who suggests Washington is too powerful. Attack, attack, attack—while never offering anything to help Americans who are struggling every day.”
Because they are building a vast, intrusive state that they hope will solidify their power for generations to come. Jack Lew is an avatar of that frightful mission, and Sessions implored his colleagues to reject both the nominee and the mission.
That's Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL). Why phone his office (202-224-4124) to register your approval? Because he's been our Rock of Gibraltar on immigration sanity in the Senate for a decade, so he deserves our applause.
For example, VDARE.com's Patrick Cleburne recently wrote that the senator was unintimidated by illegal-alien Latinos who attended his townhall meeting for constituents and that he remained coolly unstampeded by their sob stories (Sessions For President? Immigration Patriot Faces Down Reconquistas).
The 66-year-old Sessions was first elected to the Senate in 1996, after stints as a private-practice lawyer and as U.S Attorney for Alabama's southern district. His all-important NumbersUSA career grade for immigration reduction is A+.
Facts which might put damper on their goals don't get a look in. The POTUS importance is in setting the tone of the production. Handsome, glib, tellng fairy tales to the chillun. Often in code. Smiling, or as in the present case smirking his utter contempt for the people with the gift of the job. For example in SEALING documents that presumably speak to his true identity and lawful qualifications for the job.
BUT BUT the really important players on the stage are members of the Congress and Senate. They know this when it comes to their own perks and exemptions from penalties in laws they enact for the People, and for special privileges they vote themselves.
They are also ADEPTS at putting their hands into the pockets of the working population enforced by their own Secret Police/IRS when they want some special privileges for their pets. Otherwise, it's every citizen for himself.
It Is Congress that decides what money from the public purse is to be spent for whatever. It is Congress that enacts laws that control the entire population. It is Congress that works via Commmittee with results - e.g camel as horse designed by committee .
Congressmen/Senators are the most immediate, the most "local" and "in our faces" parasites/depredators. Either independently or in collusion with the POTUS that cannibalise us. In Law and Economics. Congressmen members who work on the premise theirs is a charitable club and as ever "charity begins at home".
But membess of Congress are not free agents but employees/servants of the householders. The householders in the USA are the citizens.
The householders responsibility to protect and secure the household means they MUST hold their servants feet to the fire to insist their servants to do their contracted jobs or be sacked.
It is Congress that makes things happen, either independently from within their own exclusive gentlemens club or as collaborators to their front man the POTUS.
In 1981, the supply-siders referred to as voodo economics by Pappy Bush took over the Reagan Presidency. It is worthwhile to take a good look at the national debt historical charts from that point forward. Makes no difference whether the democrat-progressives or the GOP-tea party, neither have any ideas on how to deal with the economic problems of today domestically and or globally -- crash the global USD currency or keep the printing presses runninng to prop everything up. Which set of resulting consequences should the government promote?

That factor over arches a l l others.
If, and only if, the retirement age is lifted it will be possible to redress other follies.
All of the other issues/ solutions/ travails pale in comparison.
It is impossible for humanity to work only thirty-years, maybe forty, and then live until eighty-five while still supporting the replacement generation.
The collapse in the NFR is a consequence to that math.
The problem though is the process. The media liberal blowhards would have a field day with Sessions. They would compare him to their idol, the cosmopolitan Obama. His southern roots and accent would immediately inspire the Sharptons and Waters of the world to invoke fears of lynchings,etc. The media would frame the campaign as a return to the days of segregation (never mind all the Klansmen were Democrats)
In the final days of the campaign his image would morph onscreen into Bull Conner and the low intelligence Dem voters would buy it.
Haters gonna hate.
Thanks for playing.
Imagine if one was to essentialize Black Americans in such a manner, with the worst stereotypes you can amalgamate. That is exactly what Jim Harrison has done with regards to Southerners.
Haters gonna hate.
There are all kinds of Black people, good and bad. Thing is, though, that African Americans as a whole are like a disreputable uncle in a family. You don't want to throw him out, but you don't want him to be alone with your children either and as much as you'd like to be nice, the guy has a long history of bad behavior and treachery.
There are all kinds of Jews, good and bad. Thing is, though, that Jews as a whole are like a disreputable uncle in a family. You don't want to throw him out, but you don't want him to be alone with your children either and as much as you'd like to be nice, the guy has a long history of bad behavior and treachery.
"The war between the North and the South is a tariff war. The war is further, not for any principle, does not touch the question of slavery, and in fact turns on the Northern lust for sovereignty."--Karl Marx, 1861.
When asked "Why not let the South go in peace?" President Abraham Lincoln replied: "I can't let them go. Who would pay for the government?"
The upper South seceded after Abraham Lincoln declared war on what he considered US citizens and their sister states.
It wasnt a war to end slavery, but rather a war of imperial subjugation.
