In the early days of the War on Terror, he was with the neocons. During the election of 2008, he was the Smearer in Chief of Obama (go to Human Events and search his name. Now, he decries Talk Radio for doing the exact same thing). Since it presently seems obvious that the GOP is unlikely to regain power due to demography, JB smells which way the wind blows and steers a course Left-ward and away from those town hall screamers who he sees make the GOP further unelectable on a nation-wide scale. This increases the likelihood that he keeps a media job. I assure you - if the Tea Parties made the GOP *more* likely to regain power, he'd be singing their praises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-61435623709065160812009-09-01T18:47:51.954-04:002009-09-01T18:47:51.954-04:00Part of FISKING THE NIGHT AWAY at:

Acting out, throwing signs out, getting thrown out of meetings, or making loud speeches to the television camera is not about liberty."<br /><br />"Future is about Republican party is about maintaining order and having ideas that connect with the American people."<br /><br />The $ word there is "order." Not impartial justice, not impartial study or observation, not love, not not lying, not not cheating, not not stealing, not not tolerating those who lie, cheat or steal ... but "order." Ordnung, isn't it?<br /><br />His words have the disagreeable ring of an edict.<br /><br />Order? Whose? How? Where? When? What?<br /><br />No doubt Jimmie will touch upon this matter.<br /><br />Not for Nothing: he is almost a dead-ringer for the immediate past President of my union local, who also hails from New York, although Upstate. During my active years I had from that chap the same posture and pretense, manifestly degrading the members' moral and material prestige, as issues from this.<br /><br />I recall returning home one evening to Morningside Heights from my Sunday intern job at a church in North Arlington, NJ via the Port of New York Authority Bus Terminal in the mid-1960s, descending towards the subway two or three abreast on a bank of fully laden side-by-side escalators and watching across the huge, packed lobby other banks of fully laden side-by-side escalators ascending, and thinking to myself, "New York is a very small town, the smallest place I have ever lived."<br /><br />Seattle is a far bigger town than New York, although it has been steadily shrinking under control of the attitude Batchelor exemplifies, albeit by the Party that needs no naming.<br /><br />He is not speaking of Republicanism but of Fascism and death.<br /><br />The biggest places I have lived were Claremont, CA in the 1940s and 50s and Wickenburg, AZ in the early 1970s (until property owners put locks on their gates because they could not trust the new dudes to reclose and reset the posts, wires or slides, thus keeping their livestock inside the fence lines).<br /><br />Claremont, too, is now a small town, ten times more residents at least than when I lived there, although the Mexicans -- who in the 40s and 50s were Americans, not illegals, and were good friends and especially star football players on our little high school's championship teams, and who lived in the town's barrio (where also stood its only Roman Catholic Church), and since have grown affluent and healthy and built and bought as most do or try to -- seem to maintain a sense of big-ness and confer that in the town that otherwise is shrunk to cold meanness by the impossible condescension of its academic elites.<br /><br />Order, indeed. That man means contraction, not order. Life is expansion. That man looks and speaks death.<br /><br />Life is not going for it. Life is order and order is expansion. I will follow and support anyone whose life and message is expansion. I will subvert and oppose anyone whose life and message is contraction or whose life and message are not one and the same, and that for expansion.<br /><br />I support order as the Hebrew word mishpat describes it, the expansion of life by doing it, which is in truth the embodiment of God, who is Being and Doing.David R.
