"In his 1938 essay 'The Revolution Was,' Garet Garrett wrote:
"'There are those who think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of the Depression, singing songs to freedom.'" Pat Buchanan, http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79567
-------------------

It's the 30th of October and a clear, chill night. The mall parking lot holds carriers for indolent parents and indolent children. I find that the kids make lines from one store to the next and take scoops of candy from each merchant.

Then I understood, that what occurs tonight in the mall is a cameo of what happens with the American people. Anthropologists would point out that hunter-gatherer cultures spend comparatively little time collecting food and the local crowd would appear to fit well with those original bands.

I packed away a styrofoam dish of spaghetti in the food court, recharging myself after a day of making nonstop telephone calls. I finished my dinner and sought some relief from some friends. I asked Maria, "What would happen if you gave out broccoli instead of candy? Or complimented it with cherry tomatoes and cranberries? Or what would happen if the children wore angel's costumes instead of those of thugs and demons? (All Saints Day was pasted over a European holiday but the tribal culture thrives.)

And what will happen when Americans awaken in a Socialist Hell even before they die?

The Republican Banquet for 347
The message was that my county is pivotal for the state: carry Chester County and you carry Pennsylvania. Of course, the superstitious connection is that by punching buttons on a phone I produce votes and victory for an unusually decent pair of candidates.

McCain...war hero, tough guy turned timid by 5.5 years of beatings in a Hanoi jail works hard to catch up with a psychopath who broke rules in his teen years, had his autobiography ghost written by William Ayers, and preached contradictory chants during his campaign.

Why is it so hard for John and Sarah to win this election?

The Sweep of Collectivism
Martin King was also a preacher who entreated Jack Kennedy: "Please, Mr President, you've got to give us some victories." Lyndon Johnson made those gifts in a bust called the great society, a replay of the disastrous social programs of FDR.

Call it collectivism, socialism, fascism, or progressivism, the story from genomic imprinting might be that collectivism grows with stable environments, no matter how poor. Another script is that societies parallel Bose condensates at very cold temperatures: in either gas or cultures, the collapse of resources also collapses differences within a culture. Similarities are reinforced and misfits eliminated. (Eugenics anyone? Did you know that 68% of hate crimes are committed against Jews? Or that an Ohio candidate - Jim Condit Jr - advertises that Jewish controls over American energy production led to our failure to develop domestic supplies. The reason: we would have to defend Israel.) And how much of this thinking is part of BHO's notion of spreading around money taken from the wealthy? BHO claims to worry about fascism in American culture while doing the very things that make it likely. (Fascism, you see, came from the left just as was true for communism and Hitler financed his popularity by stealing from Jews.) BHO is concerned about similarities between American society and pre war Germany but does not see himself as the origin of those similarities. Will he start his redistributions by confiscating from the Jews?

The Phone Bank
Ring, speak into their tape ... "McCain and Palin are the only candidates with a real plan to get our economy on track and the only politicians with whom I trust my grandkids..." Sometimes I get praise, sometimes an abrupt hang-up, by far the chance to leave messages on a lot of tape machines, and sometimes a surprise like Haskell.
"Can we rely on your vote on election day?" Elicited a croak, "I was in Viet Nam and took three bullets for this country. McCain is the only guy to be president." Haskell has back and leg problems but refuses to vote absentee. I choke but explain that my father was in Saigon while I hid in grad school doing research ...

The Mailer
A 20 year old female faces me, her image bordered by red letters, "Tim Hennessey would make her a criminal." The reference is to the issue of abortion, generally unspoken except by depressed women who hate Sarah Palin. The hatred is not from younger women but older ones who have no eggs at stake. The girl in the flyer killed 40 million infants while our nation faces invasions ... by means of immigration and by that of reproduction ... from the south and from the Mideast. Her action, thus, is not only murder but also treason. Hitler sent only 30 million to unjust graves but did it with one decision, our domestic killers did it with 40 million individual decisions and never with due process for the executed. And the young woman is not only a murderer but possibly a carrier for STDs ... 25% if she's white, 50% if black... The Muslims have different plans for her.

My Client
I met with him at a local sandwich shop: is the waitress lovely because I'm old? He has the impression that he "knew" her in his coke and booze days but is embarrassed that he can't be sure. She wipes a table next to us and he responds "That's bad ass" to one of my comments while looking at her pivot about 6 feet away. She looks him in the face and continues to wipe the table. My client is broke but leaves her $4 tip for a $6 sandwich and coffee.

Is America too big to fail? Toynbee found that some cultures cycled three times before vanishing into the sands. We may be one of them.

It's late.

This is for my grandkids and I still have bags to hang on my neighbors's mailboxes.

Let's roll...
