Jolly Outcome in Florida is NO GOP Victory

Sure thing Alex Sinks, the well-funded and one-time Dem’s Gubernatorial candidate, loss of the 13th District Congressional seat to once-a-DC inside the beltway lobbyist, Republican David Jolly, has Reince Priebus (RNC Chairman) in a total state of delusion.

While it is easy to indulge the intellect, the outcome being simply an anti-Obama agenda victory in reality is something quite different. Former Obama believers who’ve since been repulsed didn’t show and the once thought of DNC traditionalists are now considered center-right moderates and being repulsed by leftist-extremism didn’t show as well. That leaves the hard-left & left of center Dems (who view Obama as compromised) and the angry anti-Obama crowd to punch their respective ballots.

CPAC & the Optics of Missed Opportunity

Being oblivious is a political condition that one can excuse; random actions are robust and their frequency difficult to track. On the other hand, deliberate and calculated ignorance is something quite different. Teasing the CPAC audience with the pretense of an emerging political counter-culture may trigger a buzz in social-media but where it counts, in the platform of action the Nation requires, there was no content.

Ukraine: Angle of Attack

Western influences are driving the media-push to frame Putin as the aggressor; fact is that Putin, despite the virile opposition’s distortions of history and fact, is maneuvering with great restraint and well within Russia’s established agreements/treaties with Ukraine.

Where is this headed? Simple: E.U. deeply resents Russia’s control of their energy supplies while Western banking & financial interests want control of Russian resources and Putin is clearly aware of this.

History: The Cause of Repetitive Doom

George Santayana, in his book “Reason and Common Sense”, proffered that:

“Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.”

A powerful thought frequently applied (and misquoted) as filler for the protagonist and for this reason I’ve often wondered if its meaning, and the causal force that lies behind it, are truly understood. Whatever the case it seems most likely that the real condemnation is not that humans forget history but more so that it is the adaptation to a selectively crafted version of history that is the greatest danger of all.
