The Nightmare of the Tea Party Wingnuts… Hispanics Reach 50 Million… Anti-Walker E-Mails Outnumbered In-State Messages of Support

This is simple. The Tea Party is a last-ditch effort by the WASPs (and some assimilated white Catholics) to hold onto power. Each year, the voting power of Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians rise… that is, if the Republican Party doesn’t seize power and keep it via extrajudicial means, it has no future in a “one man, one vote” scenario. Such a realisation results in the lunatic excesses of the so-called Tea Party. It’s also the last stand of the White Protestant Ethic… the sooner that’s gone, the better it shall be for all of us.

I did some checking with acquaintances in Wisconsin. The anti-Tea Party e-mails are primarily from within Wisconsin. Considering that it was the home of Fightin’ Bob La Follette, one of the pioneer progressive politicians in the USA, that’s no shocker. The pro-Tea Party e-mails are mostly from out of state. Since only Wisconsin residents can vote in state elections, Dropout Scott had best start packing up his personal belongings. There’s gonna be a recall election next year, as soon as it’s legally possible, and he’s gonna be toast.
See the Tea Party for what it is… an unusual alliance of the rich, elderly old age pensioners (the well-off variety), and the incorrigibly ignorant (what goes by the name of “White Trash” and “Bubbas” in Black and better Southern circles). It shan’t be amongst us for a long time, historically speaking, but don’t let that lull you into complacency. After all, the Third Reich only lasted twelve years… look at the evil that it accomplished in that relatively short span. Freedom ain’t free… NEVER forget that.

Here’s some Deep Purple at Olimpisky Stadium, Rapture of the Deep…
******
Here’s some Zykina… her last public appearance
______________________________
On Tuesday night, ahead of their Wednesday gig at the Olimpisky Stadium in Moscow, the legendary British rock group Deep Purple went to visit President Dmitri Medvedev at his residence in Gorky near Moscow. Dmitri Anatolyevich is a long-time keen Deep Purple fan, so, he invited the rockers to come to his home. They remained true to their usual style and came to the presidential residence in jeans, T-shirts, and hoodies, but frontman Ian Gillan did put on a dress jacket. Medvedev told them that he’s listened to the music Deep Purple for the past 33 years. “When I started listening to Deep Purple, of course, I couldn’t have imagined that I would be here sitting with you guys at this table”, he said. He said he was a DJ at his school’s disco, always playing records from various rock bands. “It was an unusual disco, as the driving force behind it was hard rock. I brought a list of the music to be played there for the approval of the Komsomol committee”, Dmitri Anatolyevich said. Ian Gillan joked that when he was young, he thought, “the police and the president… they’re all old dudes, but that’s changed”, he said as a compliment to President Medvedev.

An Editorial Aside:
In the cartoon, the outside voice says, “Oh, no, don’t you dare! C’mon, give us some Zykina instead!” Lyudmila Zykina was a popular Soviet singer that was a fave of the older generation in the 70s and 80s (reputedly, she was Brezhnev’s number one singer). She died in 2009 at the age of 80 after a long and distinguished career as a folk singer, having reached the rank of People’s Artist of the USSR.

Crank “Assembly” Pumped Up on oca.org
I have a modest little proposal… roll up these worthless Assemblies and take the money saved and use it to fly the bishops to Tinos… they’ll get a chance to palaver and enjoy themselves at the same time (they can hang out at Baba Giorgios’). Oh, the “experts” and “theologians” can stay home… they’re not needed or necessary…

Let’s keep this simple. The “Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America” is nothing but an EP talk shop with no canonical reality and no authority over any real-life Orthodox archdiocese. It has no power over anybody or anything… the archdioceses involved have given up not the smallest iota of their prerogatives and prerequisites to this phantasmal and notional will o’ the wisp. The MP hasn’t ceded any authority whatsoever to it… neither has any other REAL Autocephalous Local Church. Ergo, everything posted on its website is, at best, mere wind and stuff n’ nonsense, or, at worst, low EP propaganda and dezinformatsiya. It’s beloved of the windy pseudo-intellectuals at SVS… that should tell you something. Again, to reiterate, no Local Church has ceded the smallest scintilla of power or authority to this empty and pointless episcopal kaffeeklatsch. To do so would require, at least, an ecumenically-recognised Local Council, and one of those hasn’t occurred for a very long time (the so-called Council presided over by Meletios Metazakis in May 1923 imposing the papist calendar hasn’t accepted by all the Local Churches… hence it’s not an ecumenically-recognised Local Council).
This is nothing but more smoke n’ mirrors from the Syosset gang, SVS, and your friendly neighbourhood First Family drones (“The records simply don’t exist”). Caveat lector.
