12/03/06 The idea of negotiations with Iran and Syria is absolutely the dumbest idea I can imagine. Anyone who even thinks such a move could be constructive is a mental case in need of immediate institutionalization. All the wrong moves have started; the destruction commenced on 11/07, and will prove to be virtually irreversible. Democrats did not win this election; Republicans, and Americans, lost it. The Mountain Observer will continue in its task of charting the way things ought to be, recognizing the fact that the United States has begun its long decent straight into hell. JES
11/08/06 History will come to record that yesterday the worldwide IslamicFascist agenda scored a huge victory in its war with the west. Osama bin Laden was right: America cut and ran, Such is the objective reality of the situation, forthcoming denials of reality notwithstanding. The consequences will take decades to repair the damage, if, indeed, that will ever be possible at all.
As for the Democrats, the mob will demand a revolution, and the professional politicians, having overfed the fish, will be unable to deliver. The problem with their rhetoric in opposition is that it has been totally lacking in substance, for years. Socialism does not work, and neither will a policy of "cut and run", however disguised. Terrorists will see it for exactly what it is: retreat and surrender, making inevitable another 09/11 event(s). Today our country is in a world of hurt, and apparently most do not even recognize this. As reality unfolds, expect the Dems to start fighting among themselves in a more public way. The handy target, and excuse, will continue to be George W. Bush, sufficiently so that an alert GOP might be able to capitalize on voter weariness of this overworked point before November 2008. However I would bet against such GOP capability. The party is feckless and as intellectually broken as the Democrats are mentally ill. Among other things, what we have just witnessed is the death of Compassionate Conservatism, a silly idea from the beginning. The party, and George W. Bush, ran away from their own base; betraying us with huge spending, walking away from small government, surrendering on certain social issues, e.g. affirmative action, and failing to take borders seriously be they with Mexico or Iran and Syria. The war in Iraq, never successfully portrayed as at the heart of the worldwide war against IslamicFascism that it certainly is, has been crippled from the beginning with too much pandering to an international audience most of whom are not our friends. The President has allowed his policies to be subverted by Vladimir Putin, Kofi Annan, Hu Jintao, Teddy The Swimmer, "Pinch" Sulzberger, Susan Estrogen, and Vicente Fox (This, of course, the short list).
What many do not seem to realize is that the Lord cannot be voted out of office, however much some try. JES
11/05/06 Voters on Tuesday are confronted with the choice of totally loony Democrat control of Congress, or largely incompetent nominal Republican control of Congress. For the sake of the country, the Mountain Observer endorses the choice of a largely incompetent nominal Republican control of Congress; perhaps; incrementally, with the help of the Lord they can be scared straight and we will continue our best efforts from our end to do so. At the same time the Mountain Observer recognizes the possibility that the Lord has His own ideas, above our understanding, of how to address the whole mess. We look to His guidance. Within the limits of our understanding, we will press forward. JES
10/23/06 Regarding recently rising U.S. casualties in Iraq: while there are several possible reasons for this development, however the Mountain Observer dismisses the largely convenient explanation of Rahmadon. There is no doubt in my mind that what is going on here is IslamicFascist participation in the American elections, with seeming success. Clear-eyed objective observers should have little difficulty in gauging IslamicFascist preferences. We pray that American voters are as astute. JES
10/18/06 Republicans are in a lot of trouble, most frequently out of fear of supporting conservative positions, coupled with outright betrayal of Conservatives on a number of issues. Not that Conservatives will vote for Democrats, but will just stay home, which is the functional equivalent, and stupid. It has not helped that, especially in the last year, the President's foreign policy has morphed into a OJ Billyboy look-alike. We seem to be surrendering on the "war on Terror".
08/19/06 Elections 2006 heats up. Keeping track of Kerry / Murtha comparisons: http://bootmurtha.com./
07/13/06 Regarding the elections this Fall. Republicans certainly certainly have problems with their conservative base rebelling against a wimpy GOP. However, consider the plight of Democrats. Far leftist race baiting Cynthia McKinney D-Ga is wildly popular in her home district, while moderate Joe Lieberman D-CT is being shunned by the party. This all adds up to the worse national political polarization that I have seen in my lifetime. Not a surprise, really, as the long festering pimple of moral and intellectual relativism, riding the horse of Marxism in a different form, is now in a death struggle with the Right. At issue is whether American voters will recognize the need to keep management of the struggle against IslamicFascism in the hands of adults. JES
04/06/05 Mr. President George W. Bush it is necessary to be very clear with you and the Republican Party about the specific issue of our border with Mexico. Mr. President, your recent words directed at the Jerry Seper's Minuteman Project volunteers describing them as "vigilante's" are understood by the Mountain Observer as a gratuitous slap in the face, not only directed at these properly patriotic Real Americans, but at all of us, including the Mountain Observer, who are responsible for putting you in office in the first place. It appears that in your view your personal friendship with Vicente Fox trumps your responsibilities as President to protect our national borders from hostel foreign insurrectionary forces, and to observe and enforce our own immigration and naturalization law. What the hell is wrong with you? I am a registered Independent, have been since 1995 when the GOP crapped out on its own "Contract with America", and this is but one example of why that is so.
I am not an enemy of Mexico, or the Mexican people. I want to see a prosperous, healthy and self sufficient Mexico, but that is a condition for the Mexican's themselves to accomplish. All the American kiss-ass, whether through NAFTA, or simple accommodation of cheap labor illegal immigration, is exactly the same, and with the same effects, as our own domestic welfare programs. All you are doing is enabling the growth of an international dependency that is corrosive to ourselves, and to the Mexicans. However, even more seriously, you are undermining our own national security by failing to control our own borders, and defaulting to an assumption of good will on the part of those, including your good "friend" Vicente Fox, who are clearly engaged in insurrectionary acts and policies against our border states, and who harbor designs against us. These are documentable facts. The next terrorist attack on this country traceable to our borders, north or south, will be the end of the GOP, to be shoveled onto the ash heap of history along with modern Democrats, and the sun will begin to emerge on a new political day in America.
Those in Congress who do not stop you in your tracks on your amnesty proposals, or who fail to insist on correction of your lackadaisical support of our beleaguered border forces, and even current American law, will all be in trouble with the Mountain Observer in 2006. In 2008, Jeb Bush is off the table, and, perhaps Tom Tancredo is on. JES
