The crucially important and sinfully neglected cultural front

Ziggy strikes again – the little terrorist!

I wrote the sender: That is great! Ziggy has been very politically astute over and over, maybe 1/5 of all his appearances. Sad that more of our kind don't recognize and maximize such a high-profile talent. THANKS /\/

I went to look Ziggy up in Wikipedia.

At first my hasty fingers accidentally made the wrong choice from the autocomplete list and I got the repellent song Ziggy Stardust by the vile, despicable, talentless anti-musician David Bowie. This opened up a Pandora's box on how vile and despicable culture has become throughout ex-Christendom. Chaining related Wikip articles as far as I could stand to take it:

"Ziggy Stardust" is a song written by David Bowie in 1972 for the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The name Stardust was inspired by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy (born Norman Carl Odam on September 5, 1947, in Lubbock, Texas[1]) is a rock and roll performer who invented an early example of the genre that came to be known as psychobilly in the 1960s.

Psychobilly is a fusion genre of rock music that mixes elements of punk rock, rockabilly, and other genres. It is one of several subgenres of rockabilly which also include thrashabilly, trashabilly, punkabilly, surfabilly and gothabilly.[1] Psychobilly is often characterized by lyrical references to science fiction, horror and exploitation films, violence, lurid sexuality, and other topics generally considered taboo, though often presented in a comedic or tongue-in-cheek fashion. It is often played with an upright double bass instead of the electric bass more common in modern rock music. Psychobilly gained underground popularity in Europe beginning in the early 1980s, but remained largely unknown in the United States until the late 1990s.[2][3] Since then the advent of several notable psychobilly bands has led to its mainstream popularity and attracted international attention to the genre.

Thrashabilly? TRASHABILLY? Psychobilly? This is almost as damning against ameriKa as the experience of reading movie summaries in newspaper TV pages – almost every one of them is about something sickeningly sordid or lurid. Apparently I'm the one of the few that peers these cultural thermometers and barometers. Preachers certainly don't. To them, culture is simply part of the landscape, no more morally charged than volcanoes or waterfalls.

This strange item strangely popped up today too, when it finally occurred to me to check a site that helped get the truth revolution going over 20 years ago but is now all but forgotten, yet still at its post:

…........The “birther issue” made some more good noise today. Don't worry, I'll tell you exactly what to think: sure it could be a theatrical maneuver, but since everything is so volatile today it could end up doing Obumr a lot of good damage. Please remember that one of the main exposers this time around did his leaking on the Political Cesspool radio show, which is produced by kind of people (my very subjective description, nobody else's).

….........Speaking of our kind getting heard big time, how about this fantastic news? DON'T miss this video!!

….......You've heard about Habitat for Humanity, the do-gooder program that helps po- folks get a free or cheap new house from which to deal meth. It's every church's free ticket to a soothed conscience where “addressing the culture” and “helping the underprivileged” is concerned. Here they are taking their folly to Haiti, which will never prosper or thrive under conditions prevailing since the French Revoluton reached the ill-fated island 200+ years ago:

Habitat has 'bold goal' to help Haitian families

Coincidentally, both that and the following appeared spinning of altruistic wheels appeared on the same page of the Anderson SC daily fishwrap:

I really don't want to sound jaundiced or cynical.... but the way the good people go about their business in this world is so misguided you wonder if there's any hope sometimes. (Besides, I'm HOOKED on mocking do-gooders. Come with me to the free lunch counter someday soon!)

Subject: Fiscal conservatives called "our Al Qaeda terrorists"

Grassfire Nation Update

If you are concerned about runaway government spending and never-ending deficits, then former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill says you are America's "version of Al Qaeda terrorists."

Here's the full quote:

"The people who are threatening not to pass the debt ceiling are our version of al Qaeda terrorists. Really."

O'Neill went on to say that concerned citizens are "really putting our whole society at risk" because we are questioning whether government should just continue to spend and spend and spend!

I had to laugh since “fiscal conservatism” is always the last escape hatch for people finally shamed into giving up the each tenet of real conservatism as being too controversial (i.e. something you fear your friends and family really, really don't want to hear about regardless of merit).

Full conservatives hate everything politically correct -- in other words for them truth is truly paramount. Medium conservatives are palpably right-of-center on most things (moral issues, real money, “diversity” etc.) but not endowed with the guts to stand up to the System in any way that requires risk or sacrifice.

That leaves those who only have enough of a backbone to claim the “conservative” label because they believe in the free-market and vaguely harrumph in agreement with whatever the Wall Street Journal says. This they attempt to pass off as true conservatism on the unstated premise that life equals money and everything boils down to an economic or financial equation. Voila! No need to take a stand on anything “racial” (open borders, “affirmative action”), moral (feticide, homosexuality), or religious (the war against Christianity, Jewish media power).

It works just beautifully so very much of the time. You can be a Peter Forbes, a Bob Dole, a Reed Irvine and have the love and acclaim of those all around you. (This is not to even mention blackguards like Newt or McCain who have absolutely not a conservative bone in their body, but are hissed by left-wingers as the “extreme right” in Washington!)

But nn the end, theis scheme for being tolerated by all factions that way is a failure.... for those still able to care.
