Dominance Games / Politics: Sand kicked in faces at the beach. In weakness of execution exalt.

Dominance Games / Politics

Is it so hard to factor in a decent value structure into the vast void and barren landscape that is the place where our intrepid political and cultural warriors live?

The very many heroes and heroines of our songs and stories, our dribble and spew, are simply just strong enough to work the magic of preset opinion, preset formula, preset world view, preset wars to enable them to claim to be the vanquishing soldiers of the sun and the winnowing whips of fury.

It takes strength and character to face the void and go through the intellectually humbling tasks of squeezing every last ounce and angle, false fact and false premise, hateful hook and stereotypical slander out of any bit of business, story, argument, policy mist or vague hint at actual facts.

A public mouth, public angler, private mouth, private angler should be a proud and vivid thing.  All preaching staunchness and the fruits of manly toughness they practice well the bullish arts of might and right, of the big lie and the small derision, the propped up symbolism and the herd mentality.

Strong and viscous, terrifying and vivacious, the agenda setters are the best of the best, the king wrestlers in the swamp of a ring.

They are just not strong enough to build their precisions and their emptiness around well versed, well constructed, fondling of fact based, mincing of honor based, cores of arguments and premises that might require other than a love for and worship of the tired, the dim, the loud and the self rewarding.

Up the heavers.  In weakness of execution they exalt.  They have the current paths to acceptability and power.  Strength is in the willing so of that which is useful and that which is convenient.  Players who respect other avenues or virtues  are the naive waifs and powerless frolics who get sand kicked in their faces at the beach.  tough makes truth.  Wisdom makes tedium.  Intellectual laziness is for those who care.  Th e flag flies high in the winds of the felonious assaults upon invasive questioning.  Lack of certainty is lack of standing.  the weak of analysis are the masters of the universe of the message makers.  “Go maim”….the call of out pristine wild.  The wolf is king.

Dominance Games: Know no evil

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, economics, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on October 12, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

If you can trust the federal government to regulate and bureaucratize and mismanage any problem to death then you can trust private enterprise to squeeze out and throw away anything but profits, put firewalls up against accountability, pay off those who need be paid off and have no one available speak to in order to resolve problems.   Each system is no damned good and bless us we have to put up with them cause they are no damned good save that there are no others…..  no other ways to play and influence and cheat and steal.

All the cherubic hustlers hustling out their own cherubic views of our own cherubic government and our own cherubic commerce, power, culture, thought police, thought control, thought vacancy … imagine innate corruptions in the holy sea of faith, hope and charity…. all innate godliness…. the imagination is in itself a venal sin.

The great hyped thoughtlessly, mindlessly, guilelessly promises kept and miles traveled stem from the lack of  original sin.   A firm, fair, incorruptible system of acts and beliefs; we cherish all who see no evil.

Of agendas, enemies, flaws in hearts of evil doers there is no mountain of belief.  Worshiped positions taken are always exaggerated to comic extremes.

Culture, tap dance, inbred sellers of bright and shiny things.  The tricks of ner’ do well poets of seething tears and heart tugging virtues.  Efficiency, balance, purpose, song….. the shell game and the dance of seven veils.  Little pet peeves and smarmy debates all feel good when the sun rises and helps the tall grass grow.  Good place to hide.

Dominance Games: The rugged individualism of the democratic spirit for children of all ages

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , on October 1, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Florida wants a big time primary.  Iowa wants its place in the sun.  New Hampshire wants to continues to be heaven on political earth.  States are gaming states here there and every where.  We can have northern state coalesce against southern states.  We can have the southwest invade the wheat fields of the midlands.  We can have the coasts form a pincer movement against the the Mississippi Valley.  We can have a true explosion of red blooded militias fighting for state birds and state flowers and the states rights to be separate and indomitable domains that reflect the true independent nature of America.  We can be the Balkans west…with a never ending narrative of conflict and war, tribalism and self righteousness.

We can also travel to beautiful downtown South Carolina and listen to state folk answer phones about the lovely day today…..and state powers making it just too lovely to allow the wrong people to vote….yes the ancestral spirit of rugged individualism…the charming mindset of the rugged individuals.  Make all grown people do the corporate dance of numbing infantile rules and let those strong enough to survive in the jungle make the rules.   The rugged individualism of the democratic spirit for children of all ages.

Dominance Games: Principles

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on September 27, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

We all love the hard charging bastions of faith and practitioners of principle.  Those of principle are hard to find….they are special and they need to be encouraged to keep their purity.  It matters not whether or not their principles are well thought out, are the results of deep soul searching and a quest for understanding and enlightenment…principles are sacred and principles are what defines a true, honest man or woman of special ethical rank and privilege.  It a principled thing to be principled.

When dealing with principles it is never right to question motives or analysis.  It must be taken as rote that the true premises upon which the edifices of and towers of certain integral truths are built are premises worth having, worth promoting, worth seeking to use to enslave others not so enlightened.  It is impolitic and impolite to mention that many monsters of history were also true to their principles…except, sadly, those principles didn’t do well by their many unfortunates in opposition.

In vaunted democracy is it principled to honor the dictates of conflicting ideas working their way through the scrutinies of time and effort or is it principled to declare oneself the messiah of thoughts who knows well enough the dictates of God and hell…..  who knows well enough that the principles of ones adversaries are spawns of a corrupting devil.

Our true principled wonders…our new saviors everywhere of  grand and rancid morality…… sell always the sizzle not the steak…. sell the holiness, not the idea.  Who could argue with principled martyrs?  Another last bastion of worthless scoundrels.

Dominance Games: Education Nation / Genius work

Posted in Commentary, Education, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 12, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Its the battle over eduction stupid  The students are studious.  The teachers are teacherous.  The sharp in the know of all things feel good and attacking  are treacherous.  The politics  are unfathomable.  The mouthers hate public anything.  The white horse brigade are shy retiring self satisfied smug clowns who hate anyone who works in the field that doesn’t cry out for guidance in knowing how to think and feel their way through the day without being judged horribly by the thought police of proper regurgitation and dumbed down reform.

Learning , education, enlightenment…. never a dream to dream.  Its the teachers, of course, stupid, the performing seals who are there to do the tricks of their masters who can work miracles with students who don’t give a damn or can’t.  Power to the uninformed who need be entertained  into attention span and respect.  What culture of learning and respect for knowledge is that again?  Its the curriculum stupid.  That which is to be mounted by those who know what they know….that that bears weak fruit.  those who know what they know and nothing more.  Nothing more.

Its the power brokers stupid.  Its the movement for dubious reforms stupid.  Its the hate of unions stupid.  Its the devaluation of any thing smacking of liberal arts stupid.  Its the disrespect for science stupid.  Its the control of the curriculum stupid.  Its about as much about the children as being about the children can be when being about the children is being about their non-enlightenment an stultification.  Its about the policy hacks stupid.  Always about the policy hacks.

Do good by sounding sincere.  Its about the sincerity stupid.

Dominance Games: Vaudeville

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on August 24, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Vaudeville for ever.  Acts in time.

Policy choices, policy discussions, policy circuses, stances, beliefs ……  center stage.   A million barking dogs, grand contortionists, mighty plate spinners, soaring scripts,  headlining little tools …..the honor of the honor,  the flame of the flame.  Prance and sing, overripe shamelessness is a proud papa.  Gives birth to pollutable air.

With hand over heart, with status and acceptance, certainly and forever, the entertainment medium of politics.  The stuff that counts is gamed long before.  Most sturdily, public vaudeville staging pays the bills, gets sold as the stuff of the big show, the stuff matters.  Tis for the melody of the song, the farce of the comedy, the tempest of the flowing beauty of mother love, the dance of seven veils of misdirection. the fine chimeras veils of the great American epic.

Hell bent for leather all romps  endure in lightness and froth, existences imbedded, archaic, innately sparkling….  thrills of the stage, agonies of tired acts, horrors of the hook from the side…. the thrills of the moments when the act hits and self definition derives for ever.  Self aggrandizement is a wonderful prize.

Fine lines and deficient hoaxes come and go but the fine wines of salutary public approbations live forever.  Oh, the thrill of the applause.  The stone of a heart.

Dominance Games: The long knives

Posted in Commentary, current events, gerrymandering, journalism, media, News, opinion, partisanship, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 12, 2011 by B Schiff

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: Good little abuser of the minds of men

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men,  as a good little speaker of wisdom and truth on the national stage are you a fine and dandy little advocate for the mind numbing densities of thrill seeking undulating, rapacious, leer loving, visceral thought?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men,  heathen caressing bravado, simulating insouciant stature, hubris without bare naked warning, bearing without down seeking insight, degenerate pablum without the skills to identify food … As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men are the lover?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men, as a good little transparent mocking bird of  scavenging and bottom feeding …do you  lay claim to the ideas that you are not a rats thrilling dream sucked into a slimy worm hole of grime by an appetite for cheap tawdry thrills provided you by any cheep tawdry fondlers who can play your tune or work your predilections?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men are you the demon demon sublimely enraptured with the prospect of the eviscerate splendor that comes from begging, pleading,wheedling, sighing, yelping, barking,  moaning, panting at the thought of being the open empty void of an open empty cypher that can be filled with screams, insatiable want, tears?

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men adept at begging to be used by failed beggars who could not perform well enough to garner the rewards of the heightened and sexual satisfaction that comes with the sell out of the soul.

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men a scrap heap of ill will?  Is opening your mouth to speak the act by which you can redeem all of the lost lusts of begging, longing, hot and humid silent, lonely midnights past?

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men a lame little caricature of rancid whose only stabilizing thrills are those of smug hyperventilation?

Dominance Games: Good little delineator of cultural fact

As a hero god before us.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you glad to let the world know of lies, damn lies, statistics, half truths, ill found premise, incomprehensible conclusions?

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you sure that you are the true one, the one and only one and only, who truly knows their own chimeras images, their own natural habitat, their own generally accepted incendiary real and observable blasphemous worlds.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you sure  that you  get the gist of these terms as you see them, are you sure that you roam freely as a mutant creatures in backwater rubbish factories masquerading as toxic waste?  Are you sure that you are from  places that produce  pink and floaty flotsam and factoids and that the blue and mundane jetsam, trash and reasoning from the school of “because I said so” languishes so nicely on your lips?

The  slush heaps of dead pools and and dried brain cells of life are not your only true mantra and they thank you for it.

As a true little delineator  of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you quite sure that you can see past the void, the divine propaganda proliferated by fallow ingrates who have agendas of scholarship?  The radical politics of scientific method is opposed to the shining facts of those of pure heart and tender mercies.  Education produces those of false opinion and learning can only be achieved by the indoctrination of a bias towards evil.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you  the withering questioner of those who know nothing and embrace the depths of rot?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you sure that you have the stature worthy of an even a mediocre character by an even mediocre writer of even mediocre political fiction?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States do you have even the stature of an even mediocre farce of an even mediocre play of an even mediocre burn in an even mediocre hell?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States would you even be imbued by same to be a character deemed worthy of some sort of an even mediocre imitation of mediocre respect?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you in your mediocre way standing in the shadow of the grand boots of any of the strong and noble, mature and thoughtful well remembered giants of American political life?  Overwhelming and beyond the pale, that you would have knowledge of such things. … All a bit out of touch with the hollow of your heart?

As a political actor in these United States do you ever feel that you are extremely worthy of being a middle school dropout but much out of your league when it comes to being able to handle the intricacies of the high school prom committee?

As a good and true little political actor in these United Statesare you sure that stature is a word in your dictionary and are you sure that dictionary is a word in your dictionary?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you worthy of being looked up to from a position of down or is down too far above your head?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you the untouched witches brew of dignity, purity, slovenliness, gluttony, avarice, meanness and void as in cypher?  Are you lovely?
