Politics / Dominance Games: Revolution….The facts of livable survival. The fools errand of the naive

We can best be protected from extreme evil in the political sphere by spreading around power as much as possible.  The philosopher king or the wise council of elders may be, in their pure forms, the most admirable and efficient forms of governance.  They may bring the best of virtue, vision, majesty, bearing and trust.  These forms may be the abject model of all seekers of wisdom and truth, all seekers of greater, better existence for greater, better political entities, systems, states, facts.  Wisdom and virtue flow undiluted, unfragmented from implementer.  Implementation is a dream..

Virtues  in these epochs of rule are great but as it is with all such things the templates always seem to have equal and opposite flip sides.  The greater good is matched by the greater evil and in real terms governance is best served when as a staunch representative of protection from harm.  The positive is as a bonus…an unexpected bonus of maturity and purpose, reflection and wisdom…that which when it comes… survives…leaves hope.

This is as close to safety we can come to in a world dependent upon the rational and irrational hates and passions of the bubbling classes.  Passion has its virtues…and its price.

In these aspects and respects…we crave our loved version of mass influence…our republic…our democracy.  All done well, good may prosper, right may flourish, balance may be achieved.  All done not so well…most of the mob survives the long knives, the hounds, the wolves, the cuts and the destruction.

Politics is kick ass and dangerous, armed and dangerous, dangerous and dangerous.  Grateful we are for what we see as the limits to the mass dangers we face, in the forms of the base outcomes we can endure.  We bless the phlegmatic, the powerless, the resigned and the the facts of livable survival.  Seeking the better and the good is always the fools errand of the naive known to the knowing and the wise.

Dominance Games: From this epoch tough minded learning ensues. Tomorrow is another politician.

Education Nation.  Education follies.  Its for the kids…..not foe the adults.  Its for the agenda… not for the learning.  Its for control of the curriculum…. control the future.   It for the manufacturing of the curriculum… the manufacturing of the past.  Break the unions.  Break the bank.  Hire better teachers.  give them grief.  Hire worse teachers, attract them with positive attitude. Want the best.  Offer the least.  Want the best.  Offer spit.  Skate with the heroes who demand no rules of conduct of the students that teachers must accommodate.

Want good works and fair results….buy the political, sway the political, buy this weeks fashion, buy last weeks fashion, buy next weeks fashion.  Rally the troops.  Make them love their work.  Make them fear the whip.  Fear is good…creativity flows.

Power to the consumer.  Power to the entertained.  Feed the impulses of the immature.  Demand not maturity from the student…only that he be pleased by the performer.  Let the unknowledgeable pass on the knowledgeable.  Let the needy demand bread and circuses in order to learn…the poor babies all.

Education, the bottom up experience with the needs of the student dictating the actions of the teacher.  Teacher is a servant, chief cook and bottle washer….. there to service the untrained mind of the untrained mind…. there to be dictated  to beg to be given the chance to get a poor nod of sweet approval from the ten year old mind.  Knowledge earned in professional training confers the right to be a whupped nanny to a spoiled child.

Mock the rancid of the product deliverers as you may………Mock the rotten teacher as you should…but product needs consumer… this product needs consumers who are there to consume, not vote.   the authority figure dispensing knowledge and wisdom to those who need to acquire it…tail wagging dog and dumb demanding its due…..America today.

Be spoon fed and catered to.  From this epoch tough minded learning ensues.  What are the costs of little attention when the show isn’t good enough?  Tomorrow is another politician.

Dominance Games: For the fairy tales told their lying hearts

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 7, 2011 by B Schiff

Sometimes you see a dance step you’ve seen a thousand times before and its just a damned dance step.  Sometimes you a dance step you’ve seen a thousand times before and its  a damned whirlwind of warped motion and preening idiocy.  Sometime thing just go bump in the night and sometimes things get so that one more dollop of the same old same old can cause one to tremble with the bends and haves seizures of anguish at the thought.

How banal is banal.  How dull is dull.  How useless is useless.  Worthless is worthless.  Simple minded is simpleminded.  The automatons conquer again and again.  The first best scourge of the weak of mind and backbone…prefabricated noxious thought that makes spectators dirty and creepy when forced to be in any close proximity…… the automatons of political sneering conquer again and again.

Can’t we ever just give a slap to the back of the head and say shut up already.  Be a sentient being.  Please, no more of sicken and be perverse.,,, no more the love of spewed garbage. The lands of dead minnows allows deader minds to prosper.

Coming and coming.  Ding and dong.  Preen and posture.  Fill the breeze with dementia, diversion, positioning and incubating viral forms of the ever continually obnoxious.

Oh, the bother to be an eternal waste of time when you’re going to be an eternal waste of time.  To lord and conquer.  Steer the ship of state as a drunken sailor. Protect and serve….  fairy tales told their lying hearts….told our sighing, dying, lying hearts.  Lord over, break down, pick up the pieces, sit on top of the rancid pile.  The future luminous and bright.

Just a gigolo and the pimp…. the princess and the madame….and all the lame damned fools who fall for them, cede to them, bow at the feet of them so damned often, so damned wisely and so damned well.

Elections are for suckers.

Dominance Games: Foreign bastards from far away places like Wisconsin, Oklahoma, San Francisco, Arizona, Chicago, Florida , Alabama

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 6, 2011 by B Schiff

We could always go to war with each other.  Texas could use the steel toes and hard heels of cowboy boots to kick the living daylights out of effete north easterners.    New York could buy out the supplies that keep the south alive.  California could infiltrate morality squads and bring down god fearing folk.. Massachusetts could sneer us all into oblivion.

There could be more.  Tennesseans and Kentuckians could kill possums and infiltrate the meat supply.  Kansans could pray too loudly and bring down God’s wrath.   The rust belt workers could starve to death and send their bodies to others to bury….It could get better.

Why trust foreign bastards from far away places like Wisconsin, Oklahoma, San Francisco, Arizona, Chicago, Florida , Alabama? Why not tariff goods from state to state?  Why not sneer at states that don’t run the system to protect their rights to be pure and secure?  Why not just give the whole damned thing up, pack in the tents, find friends in far away places like Uzbekistan, France, Sweden, the DAR?

Poor moribund one worlders, internationalists who see a union of states.  taking sovereignty from the endowed creatures of defines ruggedness, the core of irreducible oneness?  Damned the socialists and the soft thinkers.

Why bother with a national agenda when we can’t stand being in the same room with each other?  Why bother with national purpose when national purpose means only that they  screw you matter what?

Rank central government heels when there is healing it can do.  Rank central government intrudes when there is overriding, overreaching intruding to do.  power mad cynical entities big and small are of perversion and folly.  Too much the pull…fear and hate it.  Too little the help…need and want it.   Too dumb the gamers, run it to hell.  The United States is.  The United States are.   Smart…watch how ever it plays …

…Love the law of unintended consequence.

Dominance Games: Stupid is as stupid does and stupid does damned well thank you. Smart is for the unclean.

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 5, 2011 by B Schiff

Dumb as they come.  Stupid is as stupid does.  It is not good to be a dimwit.

Once upon a once dumb was done.  One and done and not to be braced again…. and again and again.  Well maybe only one again.  Nevermore.  The age of smarts is a long gone epoch, an epoch tinged in sepia, brokered with lilting memories of cultural and historical awareness, drowned in the seas of bitterness held by all who thought that thought was a cherishable thing, a useful thing, an undamning thing.

Characters for reeducation these, a harrowing threat to the valuable gene pool of the simple suckers spouting simple things in order to appeal to simple folk joyous in there simplicity, sure in their lack of logical construct, unawares of false hypothesis or grand self delusion.

Dumb is easy.  It takes only loud and force, easy targets and the echoes of fearful ardors.  Dumb is dumb.  Loud enough and it seeks to cower opposition into acceptance of legitimacy.  Soft enough and it seduces the needy and the hateful who need the experience.  Dull enough and no sense and nonsense become toys for vitriolic syntax and visceral mean.   Stupid is like that.  Often wily.  Many times strong.  Demagoguery in the tumbleweeds.  Stupid is as stupid does and stupid does damned well thank you.

Smart was a once upon a time.  Now seditious and seductive, dangerous, odious, treasonous and unpatriotic, smart.  Smart is for no one unless for the doctor that treats you…only then if under conditions that don’t undermine your belief system.  Smart…..the irrepressible poison in the drinks of the unenlightened unwilling dancers of the dumb dance.  They wave with the flag.  Smart is for demon enemies of the state and seducers of innocent girls. Smart is fever.  It is the tool of hell.  Smart is a puerile mix and a sum brew fed to innocents who are impressionable and wayward.  Smart is for the unclean.

Dominance Games: The mensch of midnights past, our calling. Tough as nails and grateful.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 4, 2011 by B Schiff

So.  This is us.  This is today.  Can tomorrow be as close as tomorrow?  Can we be what we say we never were?  Can we be what we say we never stood for….so the rank patriots and fellow screamers tell us.

Can we be the opposite of good, the opposite of decent…again and always.  Can we be the picture perfect us; strong, moribund, phlegmatic, anxious, dead.  Cane we be special and angry?  Can we build the better mousetrap of pride on the backs of the unbetter mice?

Curse needy compassion.  Curse malevolent social engineering.  Curse the race of the swift, the loud, the strong, the sure.  The needy, the daft secure hard, put interests of survival through the eye of a needle.   The majority must be preserved….shaped….captured….held for ransom.

Nimble minds please nimble feet and nimble feet retrieve phantom futures.  Our America means hard knocks and tough brawling; means no crying, no self pity, no banality; a tough country but a hard one.  Freedom means earn it day after day.  Freedom to be of stern stuff and hold charity not for show, not for value.

Starve the beasts of virtue, the beasts of governing.  Hope and charity takes up the slack.  Starve the beast of irredeemable knowledge dead air festers in  ripe so that it can become the noxious poisons of our fears.  Rank illiterates hate the common good.  Who would choose the courage to understand?  Damned well rank evil gnomes.

Fortress fortress us and tough thinking folk.  Picture perfect.  We are what we choose to be, what our dreams are made of…Good but careful….trust but verify….the help of last resort.

The staunch and the brave we are.  The reluctant savior, we are.  Mental anguish over tough choices we have. The mensch of midnights past, our calling.  Tough as nails and grateful.  With hearts of gold we survive.  Using them is not always easy.

Dominance Games: The sultry seductions of the vapors of the damned

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 3, 2011 by B Schiff

Cry baby, cry.  Tears baby, tears.  Play baby, play.  Be baby, be.

Use baby, use.  Be used, babe, be used.  Worry about the bastards money coming down the pike and up the river making rich richer, making color colorful. making bright brighter for dim bulbs.   Champion aggrieved. Hedonistic moralizing.  Falling swans turn ugly ducklings over night…and the opposite.

Buy us.  Sell us.  Have us for lunch.  Have us for dinner.  Have us for play and pay, for divine indifference.  Learn the simpletons, embrace the sentence structure of those who have good talk.

Feel the heat.  Turn coy the passion.  Turn coy the scintillating seduction, the sighs, the winks, the nods, the sultry seductions of the vapors of the damned.

Cheer us on.  Break cold.  Break us down.  Tell us no tales.  Whip us no lies.  Treat us our little hearts with no tenderness or affection.

Maul us.  Devour us.  Bore us.  Sicken us.  Convince us.  Buy us.  Sell us.  Churn us up and spit us out.  Charm us freely.  Own us whole.  We have the worth.

Push and pull.  Maim and lame.  Deafen with soulful sins.

Champion us.  Chump us.  Chumped us listen.  Chumped us get rain.  Chumped us believe.  The searing truth, bought and sold, dressed up for candle light.

Buy the buy.  Spend the spend.  The scum ain’t buying nothin’foe nothin’, spending nothin’ for nothin’.  We ain’t getting nothin’ for nothin’.

Store bought wraps.   Painted woman.  Rotten candy……. Sure enough.  Tomorrow and tomorrow.  Give early and often.  Buy early and often.  Vote early and often.

Stays bought.   Gets bought.   The badge of honor.  Paid for the badge of honor.  Elections: the usual and the cheap.   The shell games and the phony fronts.  The messages suckers listen to…….Idealists be happy.

Of many

Dominance Games: Worldly and wise and above the fray. Beauty upon a pedestal of sin.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 2, 2011 by B Schiff

Sex is here .  Sex is here.  Its sex time in the Rockies.  All over the world.  Its sex time for you and me.

The mine fields.  The trip wires.  The lofty sophistications.  The awkward hypocrisies.  The farm animals.  The sweethearts.  The fun and games; they never let you down.

The death knells.  The transgressors.   The political bodies that go bump in the night.

The easy prey and easy speech that are  grounded in lustful eyes.  The tepid prose and judgements of priests of lowly scum.

Ripped scabs and doleful longings never let disdainful smiles not have fun for breakfast.  Damn with little praise the drugstore cowboy and the flatulent screamer.  The meaninglessness of trysts,  the sins of them, the wanting wanting for more.  Acting out is heaven in the details.  Float the urges sacred and pristine.

….Our women are our toys, our property, our scourge, our curse.  They are our partners, our masters, our antagonists,  our beauty upon a pedestal of sin.

Sex and costs.  Sex and costs.   Sex and costs.

The cost benefit analysis of bad behavior.   The cost benefit analysis of wished for behavior, of groping behavior, of the fire in the belly, disgrace in the heart behavior.  The cost benefit analysis of self protection and good grace.

The rancid use of the currencies of power make many a Jack a dull boy.  The libido, the laughs, the plays for bargains.  The objects of desire need be so. The objects of property need be that way also.  Tis more precise fun in the winning.

The privileges of ownership and its perks and the whip hand   The misty dew all over the world.  have enough of the currencies of use and coercion, of choice and fun and thrills a minute.  Take as need to be taken.  Make as need be made.  Give as need be given.  Use well.   Use all.  Use all over the everywhere.  Everywhere.  Here and there.  In all civilized places.

…..And the rest of us go dawdle, watch, love, fly in false sophistication.   The rest of us dive, tunnel, resist, puff up with  false bravado.  The sharpies ply with false modesty.  The holy with false stories, sinful villains, despicable users, pirates, breakers, killers, owners and bums.   The fear, the force, the repression, the troves of license.

It is good to be worldly and wise and above the fray.

Dominance Games: Game it. Break it. The sneer is good. Love the sneer.

Chaos and frivolity.  Balkanization and one man’s Balkans is another mans sacred homeland.  Small victories for the dissolution of Union.  Small victories for the fixing of the game of union.  Coming and going we get it going; tricks and high wires, circuses and clowns and sober, moral grown adults interested in their firmly held beliefs that these are the ways of and to a better world.  Win or secede.  Break with my enemies or play him out and down and useless.  The grand narcissism of all of the grand narcissists and grand ages is a grand narcissism.

Why accommodate or bother with rank rotten bastards that are vain and dumb and just don’t have the brains or brawn that a baby seal is born with.  Why let them strip my manhood, break my faith, sully my intellectual prowess, stomp on my self righteousness, laugh at my wisdom.  Forget about it.  I’m gone or maybe I be breaking your back.  C’est la vie sucker.  Blank your mother’s dog.

Redistrict.  Redistrict.   Nullify the Feds.   Run the scam.  Blank the scam.  Use em or lose em……They sure as hell ain’t worth a pitcher of warm spit. States rights.  Right the states.  Scum and things……All government is scum and things.  Game it.  Break it.  The sneer is good.  Love the sneer.
