With the assistance of charlatans of the the alleged conservative media, America’s version of Hugo Chavez is set to win the nomination of the Reactionary-Socialist Republican party. On the other side, The femail version of Mao Zedong is set to win the nomination of the Neo-Marxist Democrat party. This is a terrible choice for those who believe in economic liberty, personal liberty and social tolerance.

Both parties with assistance from their respective media have been hijacked by radicals and reactionaries who envision a Fascist Socialist police state. The Democrats have been taken over social justice warriors who blame whites and Christians for everything wrong in the world. They sympathize with our Islamic adversaries and view Western Civilization as a blot on humanity. On the other side, the Republicans have been taken over by reactionary losers who rather than adapt to modern times pine for the 1950’s. They blame all of America’s ills on racial/ethnic minorities and  urban upscale whites. Both parties preach division and hatred of the “other.” A tactic totalitarian movements have used throughout history use to gain power, starting withe the Jacobins of revolutionary France..

Missing in this victimology mindset present in both parties is personal responsibility. It’s all about blaming others for your personal failings in life. Both parties preach a utopia where the victims will be in charge and those who are viewed as the cause of their ills will be treated as 2nd class citizens at best or even worse. Rather than address real issues, both parties use Soviet/Nazi style propaganda to keep their respective voters in state of anger. This sad state of affairs leaves Americans in both parties of good will with nowhere to go. Many feel they have to choose the lesser of 2 Totalitarian Progressive evils. New polling data reveals a new choice is emerging for those of us that just want to live our lives and do not have animosity with others.

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson is now polling at 11%. Republicans disgusted by the American Chavez and Democrats repulsed by the female Mao are seriously looking at the Libertarian party as an alternative.

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson would still be well behind the two major party candidates, but if a poll showed the Libertarian Party hopeful would be in the double digits against Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

That’s according to a Monmouth University poll of registered voters released last week.

The poll shows that Clinton would get 42 percent, Trump 34 percent and Johnson 11 percent. Clinton is the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination and Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. Johnson is one of 16 candidates—so far—seeking the Libertarian Party nomination.

[….]

“A vigorous third party campaign is a very real possibility this year, but it is not yet clear what the impact could be. Including Johnson’s name in our polling seems to be more of a placeholder for voters who are not particularly thrilled with either major party choice right now,” Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray said when releasing the numbers.

Most new outlets focused on the head-to-head race between Clinton and Trump, which Clinton led in the poll 48 percent to 38 percent. Clinton also led U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas 45 percent to 40 percent though trailed John Kasich 45 percent to 39 percent according to the poll.

Many will argue voting for the Libertarians is a wasted vote. This is a totalitarian tactic used to force people from exercising their right to vote for who best represents them. With the 2016 election rapidly coming down to Hugo Chavez vs. a female Mao, Pro-liberty Americans have a right to vote for their beliefs. I know this is a pro-Trump blog and the cool thing is to support him, and if you don’t you are considered a traitor.

I also know there are those who are not on the Trump train and I am informing them they do have a choice. Consider Gov. Gary Johnson of the Libertarian party. He believes in freedom and economic opportunities for all Americans regardless of race or class. It is still for the moment despite what the Democrat and Republican parties would like, free country. Thus, voters should have an option that is not the lesser of Progressive evils.

Let the bashing and ridicule of my thread, commence! 🙂

Since its rise in the late 90’s as a result of the Tech boom, the Hipster movement has reshaped the popular culture and the politics of this nation. Like all movement, they have a pantheon of heroes who in other times would have been considered losers or evil men.

Victor Davis Hanson warned about the Hipster movement and despite defeats in the culture and 2 Presidential losses, many on the Right do not take the Hipsters seriously. Underestimating this movement has enabled it to spread its tentacles into many facets of American society.

People who laugh at Hipsters, do so at this nation’s peril.

Update: How could I have forgotten to add a picture of one of the most beloved martyrs in the Hipster pantheon, St. Pancakes!

Update II: How could have I forgotten the ultimate Hipster icon for the ages, the original cool and hip Latin revolutionary, Che Guevara!

Iran’s Ahmadinejad criticized over Chavez remarks

All those lefties at Hugo Chavez’s funeral – the very definition of a target rich environment.

by Zahra Hosseinian

(Reuters) – Senior Iranian clerics have criticized President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for saying Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will be resurrected alongside Jesus Christ and the hidden imam who Shi’ite Muslims believe will rise up to bring world peace.

Iran declared a day of national mourning on Wednesday after the death of Chavez, who shared the Islamic Republic’s loathing for what they both called U.S. imperialism.

Ahmadinejad was among at least two dozen leaders travelling to Venezuela to attend Chavez’s funeral on Friday.

In a condolence letter posted on his personal website on Wednesday, Ahmadinejad said he was certain that Chavez “will return” along with Jesus Christ and Imam Mahdi, who devout Shi’ite Muslims believe went into hiding in the 10th century and will reappear one day to spread justice in the world.

But Ahmadinejad’s comments angered some religious officials in Iran.

“The terms Mr Ahmadinejad used to describe the Venezuelan president are not appropriate for us,” the semi-official Mehr news agency quoted Ghorbanali Dorri Najafabadi, a cleric and a senior member of the Assembly of Experts, as saying.

“One can naturally send a diplomatic letter without getting into religious discussions,” hardline Friday prayer leader Ahmad Khatami was quoted as saying by Iranian media, adding that he believed Ahmadinejad’s decision to do so was wrong.

According to the parliamentary news agency ICANA, lawmaker Mohammad Taqi Rahbar said on Thursday Ahmadinejad’s comments were “certainly wrong and exaggerated”.

While the return of the 12th imam is a core Shi’ite belief, the issue of which mortal souls will return with him on resurrection day is rarely discussed in the Islamic Republic.

Ahmadinejad, whose second and final term in office ends in June, has increasingly fallen foul of more conservative elements within Iran’s establishment. Among their criticisms is that Ahmadinejad and his close allies are overly preoccupied with the return of Imam Mahdi.

Ahmadinejad and Chavez had sought closer ties between their geographically distant countries, although action on joint social and military projects often lagged behind their rhetoric.

Chavez died on Tuesday at age 58 after a two-year battle with cancer.

The United States had looked askance at Venezuela’s warm relationship with Iran, fearing that Caracas could give Tehran an economic lifeline as it struggles to stave off pressure from sanctions over its nuclear activities.

Iran denies seeking a nuclear weapons capability and says it has the right to develop its own nuclear fuel cycle under its membership of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Israel silent on Chavez’s death, but hopes to reboot relations with Venezuela

I sure hope so but I fear that Iran is too strongly entrenched in Venezuela.  Hopefully the death of Chavez will have a domino effect nt eh various left-wing regimes he had been propping up in Central/South America such as Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Ecuador.

Israeli officials are keeping quiet on Wednesday after the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, unlike the United States and other countries that have reached out to Caracas.

At this stage, Jerusalem is simply following developments in the Latin American country. Foreign Ministry officials hope Venezuelan-Israeli ties will improve but say the change won’t happen in the short term. Still, the two main candidates to become Venezuela’s next president are more favorable toward Israel.

[…….]

“Ultimately there are wide-ranging grounds for cooperation between the two countries, and Venezuela will benefit much more from a relationship with Israel than one with Iran. There is no reason the relationship with Venezuela won’t resemble [Israel’s] with Ecuador – there is criticism and there are disputes, but there is also cooperation.”

Chavez was one of Israel’s main adversaries around the globe and the most prominent in Latin America. He based his foreign policy on opposition to the United States, a cooling of relations with Israel and a strengthening of ties with countries like Iran and Syria.

The deterioration in relations occurred in part during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. With Iranian and Syrian encouragement, Chavez criticized Israel more harshly than leaders whose countries had diplomatic ties with Israel.

“We feel that the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians and against Lebanon is directed against us too,” Chavez told Al Jazeera a week after returning from a state visit to Tehran. “This aggression is unjustified. It is perpetrated in the fascist manner of Hitler. Israel is justified in criticizing Hitler and his aggression – and we criticize this as well – but now they are doing what Hitler did to the Jews.  [……..]”

During the Second Lebanon War, Chavez downgraded Venezuela’s diplomatic relations with Israel and recalled his ambassador from Tel Aviv. Israel’s foreign minister at the time, Tzipi Livni, then recalled ambassador Shlomo Cohen to Jerusalem for consultations  [……]

In January 2009, during Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, Venezuela broke off diplomatic ties with Israel. Chavez continued to excoriate Israel and said “the Holocaust – that is what is happening right now in Gaza.” He later expelled all Israeli diplomats from Caracas. In response, Jerusalem expelled Venezuela’s diplomats from Israel.

In recent years, Israel has closely followed the warming between Chavez and Iran. After Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became Iranian president in 2005, he developed strong personal ties with Chavez. During Ahmadinejad’s first two years in office, Chavez visited Tehran six times; he then visited regularly until he became ill with cancer. Ahmadinejad and senior Iranian officials became regular guests in Caracas.

Israeli officials have said Venezuela has become an Iranian forward operating base in Latin America. The Foreign Ministry and the Mossad have kept an eye on the Tehran-Damascus-Caracas air route that has carried thousands of Iranians for several years now. These Iranians were ostensibly traveling to work at Venezuela’s oil installations, but Foreign Ministry officials believe that members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard were among the passengers.

Israel has claimed that Venezuela has aided Iran in getting around international sanctions. Israeli officials also suspect that in the past two years Venezuela has helped the Assad regime in Syria bypass sanctions. […….]

For example, the Spanish newspaper ABC reported in June that Venezuela had transferred to Iran several F-16 fighter planes, a model used by the United States and Israel. The transfer was intended to help the Iranians’ radar and air-defense systems ahead of a possible American or Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear installations, the paper said.

Since Caracas has broken off relations with Jerusalem the number of anti-Semitic attacks against Venezuela’s small Jewish community has increased dramatically; many Jews have left the country. Only about 10,000 Jews remain in the country, about half the number in 2000.

[……..]Much of the anti-Semitism has come from Chavez’s political party and is cropping up in the media, in comments by politicians and in physical attacks on Venezuelan Jews, synagogues and Jewish cemeteries.

Senior Foreign Ministry officials said Wednesday they didn’t expect a significant change in Venezuela’s policy toward Israel before the next presidential election.

Chavez’s political heir – vice president and former foreign minister Nicolas Maduro – is considered slightly more moderate toward Israel; he serves as a liaison to the Jewish community in the country. [……] According to Foreign Ministry sources, Maduro did not disparage Israel.

Maduro’s expected opponent, opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski, has a very positive view toward Israel. One reason Capriles may be so favorable are his Jewish roots, though he defines himself as a Catholic. Capriles’ maternal grandparents were Jews who fled the Holocaust to Caracas. Capriles’ father is a Catholic Venezuelan with Sephardi Jewish roots. A Capriles win in the next election would probably thaw Venezuela-Israel relations.
