The Precipice (Precipii's Weblog)

The grand conspiracy is not simply that Barrack Obama got a little too big for his britches. It is not that there were a few Haldeman and Erlichman’s in the IRS…no, no, no. The real significance of this story is that to be liberal is to be complicit in this tale of woe. ” How … Continue reading »

Amazing how quickly we will yield, huh? You want to know the difference between good and evil…look no further than volition. Good, you see, provides volition. Evil steals it. Every teenager wants their freedom. They want to make up their own minds and be in control of their own destiny. They want the repressive rules … Continue reading »

Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom Mushroom It’s a game of trust. We played it when we were kids in “Bible School” (the joke with the older kids was that it was a … Continue reading »

A run-down of a top ten list (that doesn’t stop at ten). Those japs snuck up on us at Pearl. A little socialism goes a long way toward governing run-away capitalism. “Better a third term” (FDR) The boys are tired of fighting in Europe.  Peace at Potsdam! It’s OKAY (in limited, self-serving circumstances) to use … Continue reading »

It’s all plastic, you know… …but there is something very real behind the plastic facade. The theorist of conspiracy says we never landed on the moon; today’s equivalent are the “deniers” who refute global warming. You do the calculus. While on the surface, the Nation seems to be ensconced, wholly, in this cult of the … Continue reading »

A delicate balance. In a college video/lecture series* extensively delving into the nuances of our beloved Constitution, it was that phrase that has always stuck with me – “delicate balance”. Another phrase that is bandied about ad nausea is “civil liberties”. Without going into great detail about other aspects of our Constitution, and there are … Continue reading »

What has “hope and change” brought us? What is the progress of the “Forward” “movement” ?  Are we better?  Worse? Less than zero? More than nothing? Little difference? At this point where (and this is the papers calling it this, not me) Obama “fatigue” has set in, maybe it is a good time for a … Continue reading »

Are blue skies ahead for this ship of state? Are we going be accused, yet again by our “leadership” of being subversives, out to destroy this great Nation (like it is not your inane policies doing that already, “O”). Now that we’ve caught or killed the low-lifes who are really to blame, do we simply … Continue reading »

So, who are these individuals responsible in the shadow war of conspiracy? Freud stated that there are no accidents, that everything that happens is somehow motivated by the mind. So what are we to believe about this “blogger”, who the F.B.I. has “had their eye on” for a long time? And what of the timing … Continue reading »

So, what do the fat-heads in Washington want to do to us in addition to insulting our patriotism by blaming a bombing on us? You know, it is not that I consider myself radical right-wing extremist, but just look at who is doing the defining (same guy who’s doing all the blaming). What next? Take … Continue reading »

Hell no. All they need are a tasty wave, and cool “buds”. High as a bunch of hoot owls. Livin’ on L.O.V.E., and white bred, dread-locks (even the ” ‘black’ boys”). Hell, everybody’s white-bred (and hippie-fied), and tea-totally “bent” (Starbucks? Really? What coon-assed country boy drinks anything outta that hippified place?). These hippies, they even … Continue reading »

But, how simple, really. Acceptance is everything, and when we seek this ethereal, this earthly form of “justice”, we measure that justice in terms of the tangible. Good and evil become what we perceive. Touch a hot iron, and there is a pain receptor; see a bright light, and we squint. And yet a warm … Continue reading »

Sus scrofa domesticus It belongs to the Animalia Kingdom, in the Phylum Chordata with the class of Mammalia, in the Order Artiodactyla and belonging to the family Suidae (Sui-eee) with the Genus Species of Sus (pig) scrofa (breeding sow) domesticus (farm-bred). Of course, the real swine in this world do have breeding, even if only … Continue reading »

CODEPENDENCY!!! It’s a straight-jacket for star-crossed lovers. A beast, with two backs (and not in a good way). Kinda like a conservative-capitalist trying to cypher the difference between workable compromise, and sell-out capitulation. You do a lot of rationalizing, of the sweet-lemon variety. Anticipating a good outcome for a likely event.  Problem is, you’re relying … Continue reading »

Nah, Joe, hell everybody knows we don’t have any “black choppers”. Stealth tech, with whisper quiet, high-flying capability. Not us. Hell no. And you silly so-and-so’s don’t want to take away our guns either, or control the ammo market the same way your are trying to control (losing control, really) of the automotive, health and … Continue reading »

Not Teddy…Again? So

There is little difference between what the Feds are doing today with the health, oil and automotive industries, and now so egregiously with ammunition, and the sort of collusion and price fixing that Teddy Roosevelt stood so firmly against with the robber barons of old. To corner the market on any good or service is … Continue reading »

My Dad’s Bigger Than Your Dad Well, I began my Easter Sunday like I begin every weekend, catching up on the news, and a couple of articles that caught my eye. You know, I don’t know about you, but as a God-fearing, gun-toting American, I’m getting a little tired of being lambasted as a racist, … Continue reading »

The Group, and I What can be ascertained from the phrase “stick with the herd”? Just how advanced are we, really; when we find solace and sanctuary within the constricting ranks. Are we then free-thinkers, when we “go with the flow”? Is there, truly, an “I” in our mores and norms, or are we simply … Continue reading »

∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ W∞ ∞ ∞W What is it about our oh-so human nature that causes us to respond to fear?  to react to pressure? to capitulate… to “cave”? One could not argue effectively a case against hidden agendas at work in this great Nation of ours. Truly, they abound. You know, they … Continue reading »

If you believe… that everything happens for a “reason”, then what would be the reason Obama would “tweet” a photograph of John Lennon’s “death specs”? (WARNING: This link is GRAPHIC and GRATUITOUS, and in a nutshell cooks the statement in the “tweet” down to an anti-gun “lobby”) I still am appalled by my own behavior … Continue reading »

You know, from the very beginning, this administration has been some what similar to a Greek Tragedy. It really does have all the elements. Coming on like a Lion with so much a tremendous amount of perceived support. Full of promises for a down-trodden and under-classed people. That under-class rushing to the anointed one’s defense … Continue reading »

Diane Fienstein (you lady Frankenstein, you). You know, you can’t fool us. You really are on a power trip, aren’t you? I mean, stand to reason, right? Just look at the puppet master from whom your strings are “yanked”. Dems can’t help it. All part (and parcel) of their “posse” mentality. Big, big bullies. Ho … Continue reading »

Ho, hum. What a scary, scary guy! So, you coming after our guns, huh? Gonna cut off granny and grandpa. My, my. What a fright. You know, I studied hypnosis as a kid. The book said that negative suggestions, were bad for the brain. Obama, you are a negative suggestion. Seems like every move you … Continue reading »

Content WARNING: (this gets a wee bit “disgusting”) So… The grand strategy is now revealed! Now, I get it. Now, I understand my enemy. You can’t argue with stupid. Think about it. This Nation, this great Nation, was founded of, by and for free-thinking intellectuals. The renaissance man approached life with an attitude of bringing … Continue reading »

Oliver Stone: I find Obama scary. on Chavez, he says: Hated by the entrenched classes, Hugo Chavez will live forever in history. And yet, we see from the truth, that: Chavez family fortune at around $2 Billion… and… …an authoritarian who fueled class hatred as he pursued what he called his Bolivarian Revolution. Let’s sum … Continue reading »

With respect to current events, “The Precipice” is, as they say in lodge “going dark”. May we all, in good time, find enlightenment!

Who watches the watchers? Green-eyed envy. You know, how much more paranoid must our government get? Can you possibly consider yourself sane when you put up a drone that can tell if we (John Q. Citizen’s) are carrying concealed weapons? √ √ √ √ √ I once had a police officer friend of mine tell … Continue reading »

Strong Armed Politics. The land of hammer’s and sickles, Saul Alinsky and good ol’ “hanging Chad”. You know, Lanny Davis is no stranger to tough politics, but he may have skirted the wrong side of Obama’s mighty arm since he worked for Hillary Clinton, may have been on the opposing side of health care reform, … Continue reading »

Regrets They are something you write when responding to a “Respondez Vous, S’il vous plait”. I regret that I can not make it to your “party”. They are sent in the form of a devastating letter “We regret to inform you…”. And, sometimes, they are sent as an overt threat. “You will regret…”. Rue the … Continue reading »

The primordial stew. Single-celled eyespots; rudimentary “brains”. To have lived, and died, and yet never really have lived at all. The nerve and audacity of those who would define life is eclipsed only by those so foolhardy as to define God Himself. To define is to limit, and how does one define God sans blasphemy, … Continue reading »

So, what’s the latest buzz, hmmm? Here we have the mastermind behind the Watergate debacle illuminating us all on White House politics. Thank you, Bob Woodward! The President fibs.  Go figure. I mean seriously, Mr. News-Media Man, is this the best that seminal, epiphanic, investigative reporting has to offer in this day and age?  I’m … Continue reading »

Who knows. Philosophically, one could ask that should you die and the first thing you see are the gates of hell, would that be a good time to succumb to panic? Are we at the gates of hell. You know, in spite of myself, Iike Limbaugh. There are a number of reasons that I like … Continue reading »

Nineteen miles in every second. Nineteen times Sixty seconds equals One Thousand One Hundred and Forty miles every minute. One Thousand, one hundred and forty miles times Sixty Minutes equals Sixty-Eight Thousand Four Hundred Miles per hour (and I had once heard estimates above 300,000 mph). The Astronauts traveling to the moon hurled at 5,220 … Continue reading »

U P D A T E (how much more do we need to see???) 2/16/13 Who will guard the homeland? Homeland Security? So, are they interested in protecting us from foreign enemies, or those domestic political enemies that seem only to exists between their paranoid ears. Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ Of course, where politics … Continue reading »

{In a generation of texters and sexters, who will bring the flowers? When I pass away, who will remember me? Who’s gonna remember you? Does it matter? I mean, the Lord will know us…right? And who really cares about our mortal remains, anyhow? I mean, for heaven’s sake, we only have a National cemetery to … Continue reading »

As the press gives the Prez a perpetual pardon, the clock-hands of time keep ticking off the precious seconds of reality — a metronome ticking metre the avant-garde would prefer to march in their own time and to their own tune that proves absolutely against (and against everything) It is the Tao of the antagonist. The … Continue reading »

So, the gun control “debate” heats up in Texas (of all places) when the U-nited States Guvement goes on maneuvers at a local high school. Pretty much “in your face”, huh?  Like Ruby Ridge and Waco, and, oh, lest we ferget…Elian Gonzales. What a bunch of maroons. And you thought Nixon was paranoid. So, where … Continue reading »

The Minor Import of a Good Read I can remember having to take SO many courses having to do with Communications. Go figure. A Public Relations major in a school renowned for its mass manufacture of budding young journalists, what else would a writer, dedicated to the craft of wordsmythe, study (physics…well…). And it is … Continue reading »

And you don’t think we are living in the age of a Junta Prez yet? There can be no question that the principle motives of these long-in-the-tooth hippies is to shove their agenda down our throats and make us like it. You doubt me? Re-”Education” Representative Charles Rangel states the position of the Liberal mindset … Continue reading »

Beezlebub Lives!

The Era of the Rap-Cult, Junta-Prez. I’d like to say that the thought just occurred to me, with the video of some rapper “dissing” the Prez, (at the Prez’s own party, and hired by, who else (you guessed it), the Prez., errr, make that “the people”), but it did occur to me that there is … Continue reading »

“FOR THE RARE CITIZEN who escapes indoctrination in the “new social order” in progressive schools; for the Bible-believing Christian who rejects “theologians” who teach that socialism is the new “Kingdom of God on Earth”; for all the sturdy souls who hold to the age-old concepts of right and wrong, and are vocal about it, the … Continue reading »

Okay. So, there are some parents who lack parenting skills. That’s a given. It is going to happen. There is no manual, and we are only human, and we are prone to mistakes. Sometimes, BIG mistakes. There are leaders other than parents who make them too. They bill themselves as Conservatives (with a big, capital … Continue reading »

Dear Santa: What I want, is peace. I want prosperity for my Nation; and I believe that we achieve peace (at least for us) by remaining economically strong – a true economic force for any competitor to reckon with. An economically weak nation is akin to a physically ill wildebeest; it will be the first … Continue reading »

A “dervish“, they say. The spinning, spin-meister. For me, as one schooled in Public Relations, it “conjures” a concept of  showmanship. The show-man Shaman. When I was a kid, I studied magic. I performed at children’s birthday parties, and it still brings a smile when I think of the fascination I saw in their eyes. … Continue reading »

In my last article, I wrote about the model citizen. You know, in the art of argument, you take some position, throw it out on the table, have people (sometimes more than two parties (some arguments may have multiple positions…and likely, should), and let the fireworks begin. It is my contention that the conservative better … Continue reading »

My objection to Liberalism is this — that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind – namely, politics – of philosophical ideas instead of political principles. -Benjamin Disraeli (1, 2) “Philosophical ideas” … imagine that! For me, it conjures up the notion of the bleeding heart liberal. Yeah, … Continue reading »
