Charlie Rose

NeilMacCallister  01/25/2013 10:05 PM Report

..and Al Hunt, Mark Halperin, and Charlie Rose are like those 'for-the-moment-protected' town's people in 'High Noon'.

They all say, "Okay, that's fine" each time a new 'low vision' rustler comes riding into town.

***

But it wasn't always that way,..

Back in the day, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and Richard Nixon had a "vision" of reaching the moon -- and we did !!

Jacques Cousteau invited us to explore the Ocean's world with him aboard the Calypso, ..there was talk of Fusion Energy, cures for cancer, and a bright future for our children.

The Rev. Martin Luther King asked us to walk forward into that very future as American brothers and sisters -- not as today's competing gang members of rich and poor, black and white.

There used to be hopes, and dreams, ..but today we find poverty, unemployment, loss of jobs, loss of creativity, loss of education, loss of sustenance, loss of Constitution.

***

But guess what??? ..all these faces we are presented with on television are still getting paid (..good money!!) ..and all our Congress people are still having their salaries raised as well.

"The truth today, will NOT be televised."

Nonsense!!!! .."We must ACT!" (..but he doesn't say at what)

"Now is OUR TIME!!!" (..for WHAT??? ..Mr. President????)

Even though Barack Obama has not one single 'vision' of how to advance the market value of America, ..everyone at this table sure likes "the ambiance" he spends so many billions of tax dollars upon.

***

Here's a clue to what is REALLY happening:

Last month Charlie welcomed George Stevens to the table, a man closely linked to films (like 'Shane') which were set at a time of 'turf wars' for valuable grazing land in an expanding America.

Cattlemen fought other cattlemen, who fought sheep ranchers, who fought wheat farmers.. All just to be 'The One' who gets to decide where the fences will go, who gets what pasture land, who gets what water.

History has ALWAYS fought over 'turf'.

***

Where is today's 'turf' that is being savagely fought over?? ..It is the turf of America's Public Bank Account !!

Obama and Congress have focused their "vision" upon but one thing: How much of that American money can they corral, control, and abuse.

Barack and the Democrats have not taken America "Forward" into some beneficent future, ..they have dragged us right back to the mud-pits of 2 thousand years of 'turf wars'.

Its all about the cash, other peoples cash, public cash, private cash, ..and who gets to spend it!

Barack Obama is a Cash Rustler! ..Harry Reid is the crooked Land Office agent, ..and Nancy Pelosi is the Madame who runs the town's saloon and keeps the right boys happy -- and ready to go rustling and stealing again.

When everyone has 5 thousand pairs of shoes, I think shoe ads and marking will be not needed. Or you think more aggressive shoe ads and marketing are needed to educate a man, so he will purchase another 5 thousand pairs of shoes in addition to his current 5 thousand pairs of shoes ????

We're going to teach "tabs" another adjective besides recalcitrant. Maybe that'll straighten out his thinking. Probably not..

The Main Stream Media has nursed a viper in Americas Bosom.

Is he Sulla, Caesar or a god? Newsweek seems to have elevated Barrack Obama from President into having the status of a god with their recent "Second Coming" cover.

If anyone has noticed, Barrack Obama's proposals according to him have been "very reasonbable" and anyone not falling into lock step with his program is well at best an obstructionist of his enlightened "forward" looking vision. The President has grown tired of trying to enlighten the special "fat cat" interest group bound and socially narrow minded, recalcitrant right wing Republicans in Congress. Instead deciding on a new plan of action designed to put pressure on the recalcitrant right wing Republicans by having his newly renamed Sturmabteilung "Organizing for Action" arouse public opinion against the recalcitrant right wing Republicans and the better than well off Rich 2%, who now can begin to pay their fair share as a tax on their success. After all it is not about the success of the indivdual but the success of the "collective" that makes a nation "prosperous," free and strong.

However looking forward, if that enlightened vision does not come to pass as envisioned by the President and his minions due to faulty assumptions, it must well be because those recalcitrant right wing forces have put up roadblocks to thwart their success. Then the organizing effort must be redoubled by taking action against those recalcitrant forces.

Here one must thank John Harp for providing insight into the heart of this "forward" looking ideological mindset

To REMANT: Don't blame Obama, you've always been a sexist, racist homophobe. Obama has just given you and other racists the cover to reveal your true feelings amonst all your other tea party bretheren. One can scarsely imagine the other groups you and your ilk will deem worthy of fear and your hate.

I enjoyed your panel last night, especially, Al Hunt,Doris Goodwin, Beschloss and Caro. Very thoughtful comments by them. I think both Kantor, is a bit of a gossip, and

Woodward, made himself irrelevant long ago, carrying Bush's

water. Apparently, he felt Obama, to be arrogant. Your gracious other guests, graciously counter his out out of place remarks. He also loves the gossip. Thank you for not having David Brooks, whom I think he and Charlie, are the only ones that think he's relevant.

When it comes to divisiveness the president has only himself to blame. I've never felt as much animosity towards blacks, homosexuals and women as I have since he took office and started inciting every minority to throw off their oppression. No president has sewn more discord by his speech and conduct in office.

And this speech offered up the same reheated, unpalatable fare he's been feeding Americans for more than four years. This is NOT a democracy, and he has yet to see what democracy really means, tho if he continues on his course he well may. Rights and self-evident truths DO NOT comport with evolving ideas, only with developing ones. Nor was "a basic measure of security and dignity" what Jefferson was getting at when in the Declaration of Independence.

An inaugural is not either an occasion for a Martin Luther King Day speech. He might as did Lincoln at Gettysburg, have realized that this ground was far more consecrated by others. And how one moves from a house divided to one which requires government support for rails and highways is a sleight-of-hand unknown even to the Great Emancipator, notwithstanding that his administration promoted them, as well as, cooked the nation's books. But in his second coming, aside from plugging the 13th Amendment, Honest Abe merely suggested the ways of God are unknown to men (if they were likely to be in his favor), tho his conclusion that the nation should be as charitable towards the masters as to their slaves was certainly patronizing enough.

This president, however, made clear he believes Lincoln sought to liberate the seceding states from fascism. And, therefore, we must now have standing armies, as well as, more math and science teachers. He alleged a recovery from our economic woes has begun, providing a cue to seize the moment, tho why seizing the moment earlier would not have done better is left unexplained, nor why redistributing wealth is now necessary, or will accomplish it, or what that has to do with anyone's security and dignity. In fine, he thinks it is time to declare victory and begin Reconstruction.

If that were not laughable enough, despite paeans to the independent yeomanry, he made clear he thinks not that God helps those who help themselves, but that it depends on luck; freedom, not on labor, but on entitlement. In one breath holding that absolutism should not be mistaken for principle, and in the next demanding action in the sure knowledge of uncertainty. A Sunday School teacher's nightmare.

We have no scientific proof the ways of God in relation to what some feel is a changing climate are worse than our own, nor indeed does the doctrine of Christian stewardship comport with such inscrutability, and I defy anyone to find any authorization for the notion anywhere in scripture.

Nor will anyone believe this nation is governed any less by men than by laws, when they see drones in skies above, their communications sorted and digested by supercomputers, burgeoning defense and "security" budgets, and attempts afoot to disarm, disenfranchise, demean, and dispossess them. Or, when it is believed the equality of the sexes must be achieved by making everyone a wage-earner. And that government must govern every aspect of society. This is what our forefathers fought against, a century before Gettysburg.
