Marching Orders

It’s 24 November 2014, 20 days after the wholesale butt whuppin’ dealt by the American people to the ‘Rats. Notice I said “by the American people”, not “by the GOP”; there’s a reason for this. The Pubbies didn’t win this election, the ‘Rats lost it. Boo-Hoo Boehner and Mammoth Cave McConnell didn’t win – neither did Reince Priebus, whose name I almost feel compelled to say in my best blue-blood, Thurston Howell voice. They were merely the beneficiaries of the frustration and anger felt by the American people.

Speaker of the House John “Boo-Hoo” Boehner (left) and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch “Mammoth Cave” McConnell

The GOP gave us nothing to vote for, just that they weren’t Barrack Hussein Ebola. There was no Contract With America, ala Newt Gingrich and the 1994 elections. There was no unified promise to repeal Obamacare, and replace it with a free-market system that will actually work for the insurers and the insured. There was no promise to once and for all secure the border, and to do something about the 30+ millions of illegal scumbag aliens who are here already, stealing us blind of jobs and taxpayer funded welfare, health and education benefits. There was no promise of real transparency in government, of getting the federal government off our backs, out of our bedrooms and living rooms, and out of the skies above with their drones and spy satellites. None of that. Just “vote for me…we’re not them!”

So here we are, two weeks into the lame duck Senate majority leadership of Hemorrhoid Reid, and the lame duck golf outing of Barrack Hussein Ebola. Mammoth Cave McConnell and Blubbering Boehner have already signaled their desire to “work with” Hussein Ebola, rather than take the mandate handed them by the American people to roll back the six years of Obammunism that have driven our nation to the brink of destruction and civil war (and yes, I mean that in every sense of the word…we gain nothing by ignoring the elephant in the living room). We – which is to say those “we” sent to DC – have the opportunity to do something, but instead we’re facing two years of a comfortable (for them) return to the “good ol’ days” of the Bush-era Pubbie control of Congress. Nothing will get done, the Left will solidify its stranglehold on our Republic, and the Pubbies will lose perhaps its last chance to be an opposition party.

So it’s up to us, my fellow Americans, to make them be an opposition party. I’ve said it before, and will say it until I’m either blue in the face, shot dead in my driveway by the jack-booted thugs, or y’all finally wake up and do it – WE THE PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF OUR NATION!!!

Yes, I was screaming.

The First Amendment is such a powerful tool for securing Liberty, yet we only use part of it. Yeah, bloggers and podcasters can go online and rant, bitch, whine, moan, groan and preach to the choir to our hearts’ content, but what then? All we’re doing is stating the obvious, the long-established facts that we’re going to hell in a hand basket, that the ‘Rats are evil and the Pubbies are cowards, and that Barrack Hussein Ebola is going to be the catalyst of our decline. What now? What the hell are we gonna do about it? Just sit back grousing and griping until they finally come for our internet? What then?

People, these are your marching orders for the next two years:

1) Give your elected so-called “leaders” in Congress, your state legislature and city hall their marching orders. Tell them what you expect them to get accomplished, and remind them that there are more elections coming, some as soon as next November. If your state allows for recall elections, wave that in their faces. Visit their local offices, burn up their phones in DC, picket outside their offices and city halls, and let the media know you’re doing it. Don’t waste your time with e-mails; they just get deleted by low-level staffers and interns. Get face time with their staff at their local office.

2) Lace up the Reeboks, grab the signs and bullhorns, and get back out in the streets. Use the whole “right to peaceably assemble” part of the First Amendment. Why is there a nationally-recognized group called The Tea Party in the first place? Because they got everyone’s attention in 2009, and captured our imagination by doing exactly that…getting out in the streets, getting loud, and getting on the evening news. That’s how the Tea Party became a national force to be reckoned with, not by “working behind the scenes”, as one TP officer here in the Boise, ID area told me in 2012. We became a powerful juggernaut precisely because we weren’t behind the scenes, we were the scene! So what if the Obammunist Lickspittle Media called us racist? Of course they’re going to do that…it’s their trump card. So deal with it, sidestep the false accusations, and stay on message. But in order for the message to get out there, YOU have to get out there. Be the message!

3) Quit making excuses for not doing anything. “I work hard, and I’m tired at the end of the day”, “I can’t go to protests over the summer, ‘cause that’s vacation time”, “that’s why we elect representatives, to do that stuff for us”, etc. etc, ad nauseum. Horseshi’ite! Like it or not, you now have two jobs…whatever you do to earn a living, and earning your American birthright.
If that means you have to drag your tired ass off the couch to go to city hall to raise hell at the city clowncil meeting, or the school board meeting, then get your tired ass up and earn your birthright. If that means you have to take your kids along, great…they’ll get a firsthand lesson in what it means to be an American, and you’ll give them a reason to look up to you. If that means you don’t get to go to Disney this summer, fine…take the family on a patriotic vacation to attend a 9-12 rally in DC. Quit making excuses. Every time you point a finger, you point three back at yourself…you and your bullshi’ite excuses for not doing anything are the reason things are the way they are.

4) Quit subsidizing Leftist indoctrination through pop culture and the entertainment industry. You know good and damn well that the Hollyweird movie and music syndicate is Leftist, so why the hell do you continue to buy their music and go to their movies? Why the hell do you continue to support the knuckle dragging illiterates in the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, when you know they’re overwhelmingly Leftist and PC? “But AJ,” you petulantly whine, “I know how to separate artists’ work from their politics!” No you don’t, and you need your ass kicked (figuratively) for even thinking that. By buying their CDs and going to their movies, you’re supporting their careers. By supporting their careers, you’re encouraging them to act the way they do. If Matthew McConaughey makes $20 million a movie, and his films gross $500, $600, $800 kajillion billion zillion, what message does he hear? He hears that he can do or say whatever the hell he wants about how we should ignore the 2nd Amendment (yeah, he said that), because the people will still support his work. If Enema…uh, Eminem, puts out an album that goes quadruple platinum, what message does he hear? He hears that you love him and his liberal, immature, 40-year old little boy ass, no matter how much of an immature, 40-year old little boy he is.

STOP SUPPORTING LIBERAL POP CULTURE!!! There are plenty of conservative, patriotic, libertarian musicians, actors and actresses, movie producers, video game producers and so on, out here dying to get their work out there for the public to consume. Why are you allowing the Left unfettered access to your entertainment dollars? You might have to do some looking around, but patriotic/conservative/libertarian alternatives to the Leftist indoctrination that is pop culture are out here. I know…I are one of ‘em, as you well know by now.

To conclude today’s rant, I’m sick of going onto blogs and forums like Free Republic and Time Bomb 2000, and hearing the same ol’, same ol’ whining and bitching by lazy ass and cowardly Pubbies and so-called conservatives, but no calls to action. What we’ve been doing the last 20 years isn’t working…despite election victories by the GOP, we’re a weaker nation today than we were when President Reagan left office. We in the Center-Right are lazy and cowardly. We want to yell and scream, to huff and puff, but not to risk getting out there and doing something. That has to change if our Republic is to survive.

You have your orders, now get out there and do it.

Program note: I’ve gotten a couple of emails to the podcast (http://thebullhornshow.podbean.com), saying it’s pretty damned hypocritical for me to use my pseudonym instead of my real name, while I’m asking you to be brave and stick your heads into the line of fire. Yep, I admit it is. I’ve also been getting emails asking why the hiatus of the blog and podcast. Well, the answer to both of those is that I’m making once last stab at getting back into radio, so I have to stay anonymous, at least for the time being. Rest assured, if the job I’m trying to get falls through, the first thing I’ll do is take the KISS makeup off. Not that it’s any big deal – I’m a nobody – but please stand by.

We ARE the system…”they” are not!

I spend way too much time on Free Republic and Time Bomb 2000. I love the camaraderie, the rollicking debates, and the sense of humor on display by my fellow conservatives and patriots on both sites. What I don’t love is the negativity, the sense of despair and helplessness that I read from an increasing number of members of those communities. I don’t love how many of the contributors to those sites are expatriates, living abroad because they’re convinced the American Republic is gone forever. I also don’t love the mindset of those on the other side of the spectrum — those who believe CW2 (look it up if you don’t understand the reference) is inevitable, and the only thing we can and should do is start loading magazines, and get ready for it.

Don’t get me wrong…I believe CW2 is a distinct possibility, and I’m four-square behind the prepper movement. I just want to make damn sure we do everything we can to avoid that nightmare , lest it become necessary. The problem is, we haven’t tried everything we can to take back our Republic peaceably. We haven’t done everything to work within the system. Hell’s bells, too many of us don’t even realize we are the system!

Ours is a self-governing Republic. We’re not a democracy (we don’t all vote on every national, state or local laws…we elect people to do that for us), but we do use the democratic process to govern ourselves. Being as we are the ones who pull the levers or punch the touch screens at the polls — or we don’t — we exercise ultimate power in this nation. Everything that is in this nation, is because we allowed it, either through our action or our inaction. As far as government goes, everything begins and ends with We The People.

But too many of us see the lobbyists, the special interests, the entertainment and Obammunist lickspittle news media, the race baiters and the homos setting the agenda, and think we’re powerless. Too many of us listen to or watch the news and think issues are “too complicated” for us to figure out. So we keep voting for the same Republicans and Democrats to represent us, because it’s the easy thing to do. The same corrupt, greedy, cowardly statists, of both parties, stay in power because we’re too lazy to put any effort into finding new people to replace them. To make matters worse, we feel proud of ourselves for having done so…we think we’ve done our civic duty voting for the status quo.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!! Wrong answer! Simply voting is not enough. It earns you a “D” on your civic duty test, and a “D minus” if you simply pull the lever for the incumbent without giving it a second thought. The power you exercise in the voting booth is far too important to not exercise with extreme caution.

Are you sick and freakin’ tired of the way things are? Then why don’t you do something about it? WE THE PEOPLE have the power in this nation, not THEY THE GREEDY AND CORRUPT. Sure there’s not much you, all by your lonesome can do to affect change. But that’s why we have the First Amendment rights to speak freely, to assemble freely, and to petition for redress of grievances. In this day and age of social media, e-mail, smart phones, tablets and constant connectivity, it’s never been easier to find people who think like we do…so why don’t we do it? Are we that lazy and worthless? Don’t get me started, just prove me wrong. I’m begging you to prove me wrong.

The problem with our nation isn’t the CommieLibs. It’s not the eco-nuts, the unions, Hollyweird, the Obammunist lickspittle media, the homos, the anti-gunners, the statists of both parties, and so on. The problem is us. We’re the power in this nation. As Glenn Beck says, “WE surround THEM.” So why don’t we act like it? Nothing is going to get better until we do, in fact, the longer we dither and cower, the more likely CW2 is to happen. Speak up, speak out, DO SOMETHING! Get off your lazy a**es, lace up the Reeboks, grab your picket signs, and join your fellow fed-up patriots in the streets and Capitol steps. Take the system back, and start paying attention to who you’re sending to Washington, Boise, Tallahassee, Albany, et al. After al, we are the system, not them.

Normalizing homosexuality through pop culture – we let it happen, Xers!

Years ago, while hosting the first ever issues-driven talk show on my alma mater’s student radio station, I did a show dedicated to calling Generation X out on the carpet for its laziness, worthless, failure to contribute anything of value to society, and its habit of blaming the Baby Boomers for all the ills of society. This was in 1998, my last semester before graduating. I was born in 1965, so I am one of the very first Xers, and despite being known as “The Fossil” at the station, all of my colleagues and buddies at New Rock 92, and the rest of the student body at Western Kentucky University, were fellow Xers. So this article is a continuation, 15 years later, of my show “Generation X, you suck!”
I never read Archie comics when I was a kid; I was much more into Iron Man, The Hulk, Dr. Strange and Daredevil. But I always saw them on the comic stands at the store. I thought they were for girls, and in fact, my mother loved them when she was growing up in the ‘50s. But they always seemed to me to be wholesome, maybe a comic book form of a Norman Rockwell All-American painting – IOW, exactly the thing I least wanted to read!. I even saw Christian-themed Archie comics, which even though that didn’t appeal to the adventure-hungry 12-year old me, I knew even then that there was something distinctly American and good about Archie and the gang from Riverdale.
So imagine my surprise when I read about the coming death of Archie Andrews. Okay, so the guy’s 75 years old, and even though he, Betty and Veronica don’t look much older than 22, yeah, he’s getting to the age when many people pass on. What surprised me most though, is that he dies saving a friend, who’s a US senator, a military vet, and a homosexual.

This is how an icon dies

WHAT?!?!?! Even Archie comics are normalizing homosexuality?!?!?! Yep…liberal Leftist pop culture rears it’s ugly, debasing head once again.

Evidently, the homo character made his debut in 2010, so he’s not anything new to readers of Archie comics. That means it was , as usual, Generation X that allowed this to happen. We can’t blame Baby Boomers for this one, as we’re so good at doing. WE let this one get by us, folks. WE let our kids be exposed, yet again, to the homosexual agenda through pop culture. WE did it. Not our parents, but us.

As a quick digression, the article quotes the CEO of Archie Comics as saying the death of Archie is a pro-gun control (he says “anti-gun violence”…more Commie propaganda) statement.

This is only the latest example of a decades-long parade of using pop culture to normalize and make harmless the destructive and dangerous lifestyle choice known as homosexuality. From the flamboyant Lamar in the “Revenge of the Nerds” franchise to “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”, “Will and Grace”, “Modern Family” and currently, AMC’s “Halt and Catch Fire”., Hollyweird has made the morally repulsive, societally destructive, and disease-spreading lifestyle seem acceptable, funny and even cool. So have music, movies, and even comic books. We let it happen, Xers.

So…what do we do about it? Accept it without so much as a whimper? Well, that’s what the Left wants us to do. After all, the Communist Manifesto itself addresses the need to morally corrupt society before they can take over and strip your of your rights and your human dignity. But I’ll be damned if I accept it, and neither should you. God would never forgive us, and I don’t want to have to stand in front of St. Peter, trying to explain how I dropped the ball yet again.

We need to counter the Leftist/Communist/homosexual/anti-gun/pro-government/anti-individual assault on our society by fighting fire with fire. Conservative artists…the ball’s in your court. Step up and start drawing. Start writing stories that extol American greatness and Christian goodness, then add some really cool and hip characters through which to tell them. When addressing touchy subjects, don’t be afraid to say, “that is wrong!” Our problems started when we quit making those judgments.

“But AJ,” you whine, “doesn’t the Bible say ‘judge not lest ye be judged’? (Matthew 7:1)” Guess what, puddin’…we’re gonna be judged by our Maker whether we judge others or not. Judgment is a defense mechanism, whether you judge the kid in the black hoodie approaching you on the street at night, or whether we as a nation judge homosexuals to be morally wrong. To survive, as a person or as a nation, we have to judge others…all the time.

But I digress, yet again.

“But AJ, I’m not an artist…what can I do about it?” you meekly sniffle. Glad you asked, ‘cause the ball’s in YOUR court, too. Talk with your investment guru about conservative pop culture hedge funds. If they don’t exist, why the hell not? Start one! Advertise it! Fund it! Support conservative artists, actors, musicians, video game designers, etc. Oh yeah, BTW…support conservative patriotic software designers, because we desperately need conservative social networking sites so we can make Facebook collapse like a deflated balloon!

Other than that, actively seek out conservative artists online. Create local clubs where artists can get together an help promote one another’s work. Sponsor local events and rallies where conservative/patriotic artists can perform and sell their CDs, T-shirts, bumper stickers and paintings. Go on Facebook, and if you see a conservative/patriotic band page – like maybe 10 Pound Test’s page (!) – leave a small donation. Trust me, when you’re trying to get into the studio, get an amp or PA speakers repaired, or raise the money to drive to a rally 200 miles away, every dollar is appreciated! Again, check out and support the Big Dawg Music Mafia! They do a bang-up job of giving conservative/patriotic/libertarian musicians and other artists an outlet for their work.

Of course, you’re not going to do it. You’re going to sit on your a**, as you always do, yelling at O’Reilly, getting mad at the latest moves by the Obammunists to strip you of your freedom and your hard-earned money, to strip your kids of their future, and to destroy…uh, ahem…I mean “fundamentally change…our formerly great Republic, then flip over to American Idol or Modern Family. Why? Because you’re Generation X, the most worthless generation in the history of the United States of America. The generation that doesn’t like to actually do anything, but loves to hear itself talk…usually when blaming someone else for its problems.

Cops on skateboards…yes, that’s right…cops on skateboards

You can’t make stuff like this up. The police department of Green Bay, WS has added a new and totally stupid, and likely ineffective patrol vehicle to its fleet…a skateboard. The “SBU”, or skateboard unit, has only one officer at this point, I would guess that’s because any self-respecting cop wouldn’t be caught dead or alive on one. I won’t go into the specifics of the article – you can read it yourself. But as I heard about it on the Glenn Beck show this morning, I couldn’t help but wonder why on God’s green Earth would a city do something so utterly stupid as to put a cop on a skateboard?

photo by Fox9.com

Well, for starters, it’s Green Bay, which is in Wisconsin, which explains a lot. Permafrosted brains, THC saturation, whatever it is, Wisconsin isn’t exactly the brightest bulb on our national tree. Gov. Scott Walker, don’t go anywhere yet…there’s still a lot of work to do!

What is to be gained by wasting a resource like a police officer, who probably costs the city over $100K/year when you consider pay, benes, equipment, training, and so on? Bikes are just as maneuverable as skateboards or inline skates, and a helluva lot faster. Horses are faster than bikes, and have the intimidation factor to boot. Patrol cruisers, even more so. Hell’s bells…an officer on foot could likely sprint just as fast as a doped-up Generation.commer on a board!

Wait…I think we have an answer! It’s a PR move, to make cops look cool to the so-called “Millennials” (Generation.commers). You see, Generation X, we being the worst parents in the history of our nation – and that’s quite an accomplishment considering what a sorry job the Baby Boomers did raising us – has caused this to happen.

We heard about “outcome-based education” throughout the 90s…the emphasis being placed not so much on finding right answers, or doing things the right way, or being taught what it means to be a good citizen, but on feeling good about yourself regardless of whether you’re a blithering idiot or not. His Rushness railed on and on about it for years, and had some really good parody spots about schools teaching kids to feel good about themselves. He asked he question, “what’s going to happen when these kids grow up?” I think we’re seeing it now.

We Xers (I should say YOU Xers…I don’t have kids, so it’s not my fault) taught our kids to live for themselves. We taught them to always believe they were right about everything, whether they were or weren’t. We taught them that they were the be all and end all, that they were special, that the Sun and the planets revolved around them because…well, just because. Whatever they did was just wonderful, and they didn’t need to learn things like how to be responsible, how to de a good citizen, how to respect the views of others, how to work with those who don’t share your beliefs, etc. They got trophies just for showing up, they all made the honor roll, and schools did away with valedictorians because they didn’t want the idiot underachievers to feel bad about the fact that they were idiot underachievers. They were just fine the way they were, and the world should bend to fit their needs.

On a side note, it’s a given that not all police officers are upright, stalwart protectors of society. There are some bad, stupid, and down right evil cops out there – like those who shoot dogs, stomp kittens, terrorize people in drug raids when they’re at the wrong house to begin with, etc. – but I believe by and large, the vast majority of cops are good people, doing a job that not many of us would want to do. Generation.com was never taught that they should respect police officers unless given a reason not to. Their default setting is that all cops are mean, evil, corrupt and out to get them…because that’s what they’ve been taught by Hollyweird and that god-awful (c)rap so-called “music”. We, that is to say you, their parents, never taught them otherwise. Generation.com has been raised by pop culture and the internet.

So rather than bring them to us, to teach them how to be good, productive American citizens, we have to lower our cops to their level by putting them on skateboards. “Yeah, man…Officer Kai is raaaaaaad, duuuuuude! Like, he can pull a wicked double flopty-doodle and then go into a lower anthofagasta and a sick hemi-jaboppie!” Can you tell I know nothing about skateboarding? But I digress.

It’s a PR stunt, one that will probably come to your town unless you open your eyes and tell your city council not just no, but HELL NO!

Here in Boise, the police do something I think is far more effective at reaching out to young people and showing them that cops aren’t all stiff, robotic, inflexible jack wagons who are there only to get in the way of people’s good times. Jonny Law is a band made up entirely of Boise cops. They play at schools, community events, and so on. I saw them play at a Special Olympics event I was covering as a reporter back in 2008. They tailor their set list to the audience to whom they’ll be playing at each show…in the video, you can hear them playing that stupid song by Jimmy Eats World, but nonetheless, the elementary kids are rocking out to it. When I saw them, they did a damn fine cover of “Breaking the Law” by Judas Priest. Best of all, and don’t hold me to this, I think the band plays shows on their own time…which means the city isn’t having to lose those resources for the several hours it takes to set up, play the show, then tear down.

Yeah, it’s a pretty sorry situation, that police departments have to resort to gimmicks like putting a cop on a skateboard to “reach out” to sorry-a** Generation.com. But Generation X’s chickens are coming home to roost. Our nation fell apart because we Xers were too busy chasing our own stupid pursuits, instead of doing our jobs as parents, and raising our kids to be good Americans. Instead, we raised a bunch of self-centered, self-righteous narcissists, who believe the world revolves around them, and that the world is out of step with them. If we’re going to rebuild respect for law enforcement, we have to reach out to kids using – that’s right – pop culture. Whether it’s law enforcement, education, politics, the military, or anything else, Generation.com isn’t going to come to us. We taught them they’re just fine the way they are, even if they’re a bunch of lazy, stupid worthless slackers. Thus, cops on skateboards. But I guess the silver lining is they’re not coming for us in MRAPs…yet.

Pop culture rears its ugly head — yet again — and conservatives yawn — yet again

When, oh, when, are conservatives going to wake up? Even before Hilldebeast Klinton announces her candidacy for president, wouldn’t you know, pop star Katy Perry (she of Satanic “Dark Horse” and lesbian “I Kissed a Girl” fame) has offered to record a theme song for the candidacy. I haven’t yet listened to it, being as I just recently ate breakfast and really don’t want it to come back up, but nonetheless, pop culture once again is rallying to the aid of the Leftists.

The really scary thing is that November 2016 is still two and a half years off…if Perry is already “coming out” for Klinton (pun intended), you know the pop culture world will be putting on the full court press between now and then. So…what is “our side” going to do to counter the coming musical, cinematic and athletic onslaught? Nothing…and we’re going to get our a**es kicked for it.

It’s nothing new. Conservatives have long sniffed and turned their noses up at pop culture. “It’s fleeting” and “pop culture changes”, they snort distastefully, and besides, “rock and roll is the devil’s music!” Yes, pop culture is based on fads. After all, if it weren’t, we’d still be “rocking out” to crooners like Bobby Darrin and Frankie Valli. Hell, it wasn’t that long ago that techno rock like Ministry was all the rage, but when was the last time you heard “New World Order” playing anywhere? But, there is one constant theme in pop culture…Leftist statism. Okay, you hair splitting geeks, call it whatever you want, but you know what I’m talking about…anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-traditional values, anti-military, anti-business, anti-American exceptionalism, pro-government control over everything while accusing conservatives of wanting to control everything, and so on. In other words, Leftist statism.

Now is the time for conservatives, patriots and veterans to get their heads out of their collective backsides and realize we need pop culture to reach the younger generations. I’ve had people bristle at my use of the labels Generation X and Generation.com, but those are a lot more convenient than “the generations that are now coming to power, and will continue to be in power for the next 30-40 years, who will be responsible for raiding our retirement funds, hiking the death tax and driving inflation so high so as to make life unlivable, all in the name of their pet Leftist social programs”. I’ve said it often that we may survive the Obammunist (heavy emphasis on “may”), but we won’t survive the generations that elected him. Nothing has influenced those generations, X and .com, like pop culture.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am an Xer.

Pop culture and entertainment is what influences young people. Period. Not parents, not church, not teachers…well, maybe those Leftist teachers who parrot the Leftist pop culture propaganda, but you get my point, I think. Jon Stewart has more influence on the 40-and-under set than Rush Limbaugh. Bill Maher holds more sway over your kids and grandkids than does Milton Friedman. Katy Perry (and various and sundry rappers and “death metal” bands) is who they listen to, not Pat Boone!

As distasteful as you may find pop music (and I freakin’ hate rap!), professional sports and Hollyweird, if we want to ever have any hope of deprogramming those who will be in charge for the next half century, we’d better damn well embrace those media, and make them our own! Kids don’t read newspapers. They don’t take online classes from Hillsdale College on the Constitution and great works of literature. They’ve never heard of the Heritage Foundation. Kids play video games. They watch reality TV shows on MTV (remember when MTV used to play music videos? No? Maybe that’s part of the problem), they go to websites like TMZ for celebrity gossip, they watch the NBA and (gag) the World Cup. They watch movies like “22 Jump Street” and “Fast and Furious”. They listen to the most disgusting form of quasi-“music” ever invented, rap. If we’re going to reach them, that’s where we have to go!

We have to wrap our conservative, pro-family, pro-business, pro-individual, pro-American exceptionalism, pro-military message in a package younger people will accept. That means violent movies, I’m afraid to say. That means heavy metal, hard rock, and even – gag yet again –rap. That means video games with patriotic themes. Once we have their attention, we can start dialing the violence and crudeness back, but until then, we have to give young people adrenaline and excitement if we have any chance at all of them opening the package and being exposed to our message. As much as you may like Blake Shelton and Alan Jackson, no one’s going to charge off into battle (political only, I hope) singing “Honey Bee” or “Good Time”.

So, how do we create conservative-patriotic pop culture? Good question…one that’s going to take some creativity on your part. There is little infrastructure to make it happen at this point, which means infrastructure is going to have to be built. That means money is going to have to go into conservative-patriotic record labels, movie studios, and video game companies. Money is going to have to be pooled to buy cable, satellite, and radio networks and professional sports teams. This means hedge funds are going to have to be created, and investment dollars sunk into them! In the meantime, the folks over at Big Dawg Music Mafia are doing a great job giving conservative-patriotic artists a place to post their work, even if the only people who see or hear it are the other artists.

Or we can continue to bitch and moan to one another about how Katy Perry is writing the Hilldebeast 2016 theme song, how our kids are dressing and acting like rappers, and how Jon Stewart is what passes for real news to Generation X and Generation.com. Keep doing that, and I can guarantee-damn-tee you the experiment that was America will die in our lifetime.

Antonio Banderas: continuing the tradition of half-wit Hollweird types opening their mouths and proving they’re half-wits

Wow…the list of Hollweird types who are cordially invited to pucker up and smooch my big, white buttocks has grown yet again. I’ve never been a particularly big fan of Antonio Banderas, though I do enjoy “Desperado”, and have it in my DVD collection. However, he can now officially join the likes of Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, Jamie Foxx, Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Moore, Demi Moore, and a list of anti-Constitution, racist, and hateful Hollweird types that stretches from Grauman’s Chinese Theater to Tiananmen Square. It’s a list of jackwagons that I count among my (ideological) enemies, and I’ll be damned if I ever support their careers again.

Antonio Banderas, half-wit Commie

What did poor ol’ Antonio to to earn my wrath? In a recent interview with Spanish news outlet, The Local (the Loco?), he criticized The Obammunist, saying former (now dead) Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez had betters ideas about how to fix our economic woes. Yeah. Really. The way to fix The Obammunist’s “fundamental change” policies is to get the lead out and go full-bore Commie.

When reporter Ana Pastor asked him what The Obammunist is doing wrong, and what he (Banderas) would like to see done, he said,

“You break it like Chávez did in his day, you get all these big corporations and you nationalize them. There was no other way out.”

Not to question Banderas’ intelligence (okay, I question it…in fact, I’ll call him out as being dumb as a small soap dish), but his IMDB biography says nothing about him ever attending college, or even graduating from high school. Granted, having an “education” today is no guarantee of intelligence, or the ability to think critically or analytically. But when your bio speaks of playing soccer professionally until the age of 14, then going into the theater and playing homosexual characters, well, I don’t place a whole lot of credibility in your economic insights, Tony.

Why have we ceded pop culture to the Left?

Okay, now we get to the part where I get all preachy and talk about how to fix this mess. I have asked for a number of years now, and will continue to ask why we in the Center-Right have allowed the Left unfettered access to pop culture?

“But AJ,” you say, “Leftists control Hollyweird. They control the music industry. From the way it looks, they’ve taken over professional sports, too. There’s nothing we can do about it!”

Hogwash! I can think of two things you can do to fight back, and the first is easy: reject pop culture. Don’t support the careers of the aforementioned anti-American jackwagons, and the rest of their anti-American industry. Same goes with pop musicians like Katy Perry, Pink, Madonna, 99% of the rappers out there, and so on. Don’t support professional sports. Stop watching, stop listening, stop giving them your hard earned money through outrageously priced movie, concert and game tickets. Stop subscribing to cable or satellite TV. Simple.

“But AJ,” you counter, “we’ll have no entertainment, then. We’ll die of boredom!”

Let me say it again…hogwash! There are plenty of talented actors, musicians, athletes, authors, video game designers, and other entertainers out there who are conservative, patriotic, libertarian, center-right, whatever you want to call them. Furthermore, they’re dying to be discovered and have your support. But as there’s no infrastructure to support their work, they (we, I should say, am one of them) are undiscovered and unknown.

“But AJ,” you implore, “if I can’t see them on TV, hear them on the radio, or see their movies at the local meglo-plex, how can we ever find them?”

Ah…here’s where the plot thickens, and thing get more complicated. A conservative/libertarian/patriotic pop culture is going to have to be built, from the ground up. We’re going to need a conservative-patriotic Warner Brothers to step forward and build the movie and music studios needed to produce the movies and music of conservative-patriotic artists. We’re going to need investors, from the wealthy to the average guy chipping in a little bit each month into his 401K or mutual fund, to step up. We need to buy controlling interest in cable companies, record companies, movie studios, video game production companies, publishers, professional sports teams, and so on.

“But AJ,” you object, “those aren’t good investments! I make more money investing in the Brazilian petroleum industry, or helping the Chinese build cheap cars, made by slave laborers like the Tiananmen Square Tank Guy.”

Yeah, there are better places to put your money than Hollyweird, but how’s the Tank Guy going to help save this Republic from the clutches of the Commies right here, who are brainwashing your kids and turning them into the American version of the Young Pioneers (if you don’t understand the reference, look it up)? How much good is your portfolio going to do you if the government seizes it, or taxes it at 50%+? What good is it going to do you to leave money to your kids if the government confiscates most of it through taxes, or even worse, if you kids have been so brainwashed, they voluntarily turn it over to the government, because they’re good little Commies themselves?

Most kids don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. They don’t read the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, or the Chicago Tribune. Hell, they can barely read, much less understand what they’ve read. They don’t go to the Heritage Foundation website. Believe it or not, most of them don’t listen to country music, either! Edgy, violent, cool pop culture is what they understand, it’s what they like, and it’s what has been the biggest influence on them growing up. The only way they’re going to ever hear our conservative-patriotic message is if it’s wrapped in a package they’ll accept…and I don’t hear too many young people blasting Sarah Evans or George Strait out the windows of their Scions. They listen to rap, rock and metal. I don’t hear too many young people talking about Jeff Daniels or Clint Eastwood these days, but they sure know Jamie Foxx and Ashton Kutcher. There’s probably not a young person out there who’s ever read “Common Sense” that didn’t have to do it for a class, but they can tell you all about the history of the characters in “Grand Theft Auto”.

We have to package our pro-American, pro-individual responsibility, pro-hard work, pro-family message in rock, rap, and metal music, so the kids will listen to it. We have to produce edgy, fun, action-packed movies that kids will pay to see, but wrap our message inside them. We have to create a culture in professional sports that celebrates athletes with values, like Tim Tebow, instead of ridiculing them. We can do it, by pooling our resources, our efforts, and our time…and by not giving our resources, efforts and time to the Leftist pop culture that has poisoned the minds of three generations of Americans, and counting. But if we’re going to do it, if we’re going to deprogram Generation X and Generation.com, and save the future of our Republic, we have to quit making excuses. We have to speak up, speak out, and DO SOMETHING!

Oh yeah…I invite Antonio Banderas to talk with Maria Conchita Alonso, who is Venezuelan, and who has seen what Chavez’s politics did to her country. He’ll get an earful, I’m sure.
