Call a Red a Red

NiceDeb posts this audio from Rush's show yesterday where he discusses Obama's tactics and name-calling.  Specifically "He's a Commie" name-calling.



We're very sensitive about calling Obama a "commie" here at Ushanka.

Specifically, we are sensitive to the fact that after 4 years only a few of our fellow Americans have called him a "commie."  WTF?

He seized 2/3's of the auto industry.  He led a government takeover of the nation's healthcare and college loan industries.  We never talked of "death panels" until this guy showed up.  And while the libs freaked that Bush was doing domestic wiretaps without warrants (he wasn't), EVERY domestic communication is tracked today in the name of safety.  You can bet someone else has read this before you did!

Click here to see the long list we've been keeping of his very commie, very Red, ways.

We blame public school for dumbing-down our fellow Americans to a point where they can't see what is happening to America.  Who can't connect the dots to what happened in Russia, China, Cuba and elsewhere to what is happening here?  It hasn't been that long ago.

 

The news today is about the commie tactics of threats from our dear leader's administration to reporters and other insiders who may be saying things contrary to the regime's propaganda.  Super Libs Bob Woodward and Lanny Davis are just two who have received such "you'll regret saying this" threats.  This shouldn't even be a story, but libs always freak out when their schemes are uncovered by the simple truth.

We'd warn our dear leader from trying these tactics against owners of our Commie Obama Hats.

He "would regret it," and they would just laugh.

If you haven't read a rant from our comrade (and hat owner!) Dianny, we'd suggest you start with her latest about this Woodward unpleasantness.

But Bob Woodward, was one of the slaves. He knew his place.

We shouldn’t be at all surprised that he is getting attacked by his peers, and threatened by the White House.

Book Review: Enjoy the Decline UPDATED

Available at Amazon: Click Here to get your copy.
 
As you know, we are comrades with author, blogger and hat evangelist Aaron Clarey.

We posted a publication announcement on January 8th of his latest book - HERE.  We finished the book today and we have been anxious to share our thoughts.

This is 204 pages of tough love.

Every reader will be taken aback somewhere in this book.  But there will be little doubt author Aaron Clarey is speaking from experience and speaking from the heart.  He wants to help you re-program your mind.  To understand what is happening, what is to come, and how to best adapt to the new realities.

Page 54:

Whether we'd like to admit it or not, the fact remains the US economy, in its current state, is not sustainable or feasible in the long run.  It will collapse.  Any chance of turning it around and having a viable economic future was destroyed when the American people voted for hope and change instead of reality and math.

This book is written from the perspective that America is in decline, and will never be restored to the country our founders built and we all loved.   If the new reality is to demonize the rich, then read Clarey's advice on staying under that radar.  To reject your new role as the host for Obama's parasites.  Have more fun with less money.  Some great ideas. 

Page 23:

It is the parasite-host relationship that should give people the anger necessary to forgive themselves for pursuing leisure over labor.

You'll get the sense early in the book that the author is speaking to men, and mostly young men.  Advice on career, college, children, marriage, and living a "minimalist" lifestyle is clearly for younger adults.  And you'll easily visualize the author wishing he could go back in time and tell  himself this advice.

For example, as to the topic of living at such a low income level that you remain parasite-free, but still Enjoy the Decline, Page 143:

A weekly visit to a church offering free meals will save up enough for a cell phone bill.  Getting that vaccination at the local community center saves you the money for the newly released video game you wanted.  And picking up free clothes at the local thrift store eliminates $500 in expenses per year.  Taking free stuff whenever you can is simply logical and economic.

But the author is targeting older men too.  Working-age men who are either in the 20% out of work, or stuck in that other mind-numbing sector, the under-employed.  Clarey does a great service to this audience when he repeatedly reminds them that the new situation is not their fault.  They trained, and educated, and worked for a career path that is no longer possible.  Instead of getting depressed, Clarey suggest they get revenge.

Page 178:

If a group of people came in and destroyed your country, destroyed your family, destroyed your life, and stole your future, your natural, mentally healthy reaction would be simple - revenge.  You would hunt those people down and kill them.  Unfortunately it wasn't some roving band of post-apocalyptic bandits that did this to you, it was the electorate of the United States.

Mind you, he doesn't go on to say you should kill the Obama voters here.  He explains how you can flip the dynamic to where you are in control.  Where your reaction to the new socialist rule is the opposite of what they want.

Enjoy the Decline is a good book to help get your head around the new reality.  Clarey is not making anything up.  He is an economist and he gives it to you straight.  This book is full of tough love, but it is a timely, paradigm-shifting tool that will introduce new concepts that will help you Enjoy the Decline.

For men who find themselves depressed over the current employment situation and your assumed role as the family's bread-winner - PLEASE read this book.  You will see what you don't see now.  You will heal.

A hearty Ushanka Tip to Aaron Clarey for a great book.  Thanks for advertising our Commie Obama Hat on page 206!

UPDATE 2.28 11am:

 A suggestion for you.  We suggest you consider buying a new copy rather than a used copy.  Here is a screenshot from the Amazon page as of 11am today:

We'd consider selling our copy for $288, but it is a personalized signed copy (that we purchased).  So it is only available when you can pry it from our cold dead hands.

Impeachable Offense #3

#1: Fast & Furious.  At least 300 Mexican citizens dead, and one US Border Patrol agent, because of criminal negligence in an ATF sting operation that has links to our Attorney General and President.

#2: Benghazi.  Four Americans dead, including a US ambassador, in a 7+ hour firefight where the President and National Security team watched without making one effort to defend the US personnel.

#3: Incompetence.  Half of the nation's aircraft carriers were docked next to each other last week.

Theodore's World published this image two weeks ago.  The aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), USS Enterprise (CVN-65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) are in port at Naval Station Norfolk, Va. US Navy Photo

There is no single image from Obama's reign that is more terrifying than the image above.  This is sheer incompetence or deliberate foolishness.  Either are worthy of impeachment and removal from office.

Where were the resignations of the Joint Chiefs and of our Naval commanders?

What other risks is our dear leader taking with our security?

Can one even imagine the shift in global security if these carriers were sunk with a single nuclear weapon?  We can't.  It would be a game changer that would take over a decade to restore.

This president has gotten away with murder, and is failing at his key responsibility as Commander in Chief.  Hello Congress??

Quote of the Day

 Wyoming State Rep Hans Hunt, to a constituent:

I’ll be blunt. If you don’t like the political atmosphere of Wyoming, then by all means, leave. 

 

---

It offends me to no end when liberal out-of-staters such as yourself move into Wyoming, trying to get away from where they came from, and then pompously demand that Wyoming conform to their way of thinking. 

GO HERE to read the constituent's letter, and Hunt's full reply.

Wyoming.  Your stock is rising.

No Soda For You!

Says the Mayor of New York City.

Sugary drinks in excess of 16oz, or in 2-liter bottles, are now verboten in New York City.

Yes, THAT New York City.  That one, in America.  The city where Nathan Hale was caught spying and gave 'but one life for his country.'   Where General Washington saved his Army to fight another day.  The city that all haters of America (outside our nation) dream of blowing up.

We'd rant.  But instead, we're bringing in our stunt double - IamRawdoglet:



Notice he is acting as if this soda ban is outright offensive.  Notice he hasn't succumbed to the incremental disintegration of our culture and nation.  He hasn't bought into the nuance that is political correctness.  In other words, he is not conforming to the set boundaries that our betters have put in place for us.

Doug Ross suggests the soda ban is being used by the city as a distraction from:

• Its welfare funds are being spent in strip clubs, porn joints, and liquor stores

• It has $21 billion in pension obligations over the next 30 years

• Its recent spate of hate crime and violence

We found IamRawdoglet a while back and have found his advice on investing quite accurate (so far).  We don't condone the violence he suggests, but we share his passion and outrage.

The Frankfurt School

We could write our whole blog on the Frankfurt School. 

It is Marx on steroids. 

It is pure commie evil.

It is the basis for what we do here at Ushanka.

For an intro, see this video of Bill Whittle:




The BEST write-up we've seen on the Frankfurt School is in Andrew Breitbart's book, Righteous Indignation.  Crack that book and you'll learn a ton.

You'll notice Breitbart's book is one of only three political books we've listed in our Library at the left.  Most political books are the same: "liberals suck."  Ya, we figured that out a LONG time ago.  No need to list all those books here and bring down the Internet, thankyouverymuch.

Check back later.  We feel the need to rip into public education building, and we'll expand on our opinions of The Frankfurt School then.

Quote of the Day

From American and Proud: Hire Felons?  Lowering the Bar.

At this point a nation is past the point of no return. There is no coming back from this without bloodshed. History shows us where a consequence free society ends up. IF we’re too stupid to learn from history, we deserve a repeat performance.

A Refresher

FB Comrade Kevin shared this useful refresher: A Tribute to Communism.

Waste of Time

The three minutes we are taking out of our Saturday to post this is more than the Libertarians have earned.  And more than they deserve.

Glenn Beck, an owner of our Commie Obama hat, is reaching out to the 1% (Libertarians) and getting his hand slapped away.  Why waste your time, Glenn?  Why?





Libertarian contributions to date:
1) Increase awareness of 'the Fed.'  Ok, got it.  Thanks.  We'll take it from here.
2) Increase awareness of "fiat currency."  Ok, got it.  Thanks.  We'll take it from here.
3) Increase the cost of pot via excess demand.
4) Give Ushanka a break from mocking liberals.

Comrade Aurini, also a hat owner, recently wasted his time addressing Libertarians at his YouTube channel.

So much time wasted.

Our Story

Submitted.

Requested by our dear leader who is collecting stories of gun violence.

While a lieutenant attending a 6-week course at Ft. Bragg in the summer of 1992, the Army housed me at the Marriott Courtyard hotel in Fayetteville NC.  One Saturday morning at 6am I got up to go run.  I walked to the lobby and was grabbed by a black male wearing a bandana over his face and holding a shotgun.  He stuck the shotgun muzzle into my chest, dragged me into the lobby and threw me down.  He proceeded to rob the hotel while I begged for my life on the lobby floor. 

Please disarm the criminals so no one will have to go through this experience again.

I had a loaded gun.  It was back in my room.

This event did not change my view of guns in any way.  It just reinforced it.

The manager called me an hour later to offer me a complimentary breakfast.  I haven't spent a cent at a Marriott hotel since.

Do you think our dear leader will use our story?

Where to Flee

The generous Captain Capitalism used the ten minutes between getting out of bed and his lunch to record this economic tutorial. 

He explains how we can evaluate other countries to determine where to flee if severe economic trouble hits the US.



One suggestion is Mexico.  If this is your choice, you may want to leave early, as we've always suggested that the Liberals Progressives Communists in power may consider a wall along the Southern border in the same vein as the East Germans sought a wall between them and West Germany.  On the plus side, such a wall would slow the ATF's flow of weapons...

Exposed

The bright side of the current gun debate is that the liberals progressives communists are exposing themselves for who they are and what they want.

Since the 20 kids murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the libs have confirmed the following:

1) They are anti-Constitution gun-grabbers,
2) They want to disarm all US citizens.

The frosting on the cake in this debate is that they also expose themselves as complete fools.

Exhibit A:  Colorado State Rep Joe Salazar speaks for women and the threat of rape.



We swear.  Every time a lib opens his or her or it's mouth, we feel smarter.  Waiting for a woman to come to Salazar's defense is like waiting for a muslim to come out against the 9/11 attacks.  Ain't gonna happen.

But wait.  There's more!

Salazar's comrade Paul Rosenthal suggests those in the process of being raped should, in Austin Power's speak, "soil" themselves or defend with a "judo chop."



Ask liberal women.  Rosenthal speaks for them.




Our comrade, Doug Ross, has dutifully joined these Colorado leaders by posting the top ten things a woman can do to avoid being raped:

Number 10. Stop dressing like a ho.
Number 9. Try to relate to the attacker’s feelings.
Number 8. Trip your cutest friend and run like hell, while yelling “She’s a skank!”
Number 7. Whatever you do, avoid the Kennedy Compound.
Number 6. Wear a burka and never leave home without a male relative escorting you.
Number 5. At the top of your lungs scream: "I AM CURRENTLY ATTRACTING BEARS."
Number 4. Wait for global warming to cause a meteorite to hit your attacker.
Number 3. Don't be an underage girl in the Dominican Republic when Bob Menendez comes to visit.
Number 2. Urinate on yourself to ruin the mood (warning: may act as an aphrodisiac for Occupy Wall street participants).
Number 1. Ask your would-be rapist to follow you into a safe zone.

Michelle Malkin concludes in her current article, The Anti-Choice Left's Disarming of the American Woman:

The sexist stance of gun-grabbers goes far beyond Akin-esque junk science about magical wombs that can prevent pregnancy. The idea that women can’t be trusted to know when they are at risk takes direct aim at their very sovereignty and security.

It’s anti-self-determination. It’s anti-freedom. It’s anti-choice.

 The People's Cube is discussing this topic.  We like this quote and image:

Comrade Salazar has courageously stood up for the values of compassion and rehabilitation that are hallmarks of the Socialist Democratic Party. Just as women can go through counseling and become stronger as a result of their rape experiences, so relying on call boxes and whistles, which summon State security officials, means that safely-detained rapists can be rehabilitated and become productive workers.

Yes, Comrades, rapists and the women they rape can work together to for a glorious future which overcomes social inequalities left over from Capitalism and the abusive Kulak class.

YouTuber NutnFancy has a post today regarding Colorado.  He has 280,000 subscribers, so his opinion has a bit of a following.

Colorado gun-owners are taking it in the shorts.

We remain on the fast track to Communism. 

 

We are disappointed that there are so many who want to delete our liberties - starting with the second ammendment and then the others.  Just read ANY book listed on the left of this blog to see where this leads.

But there is a bright side and we're here to enjoy it.

Keep talking libs - you're proving everything we've ever said about you or predicted of you.

The Little Things in Life

On Drudge today:

 Here is a link to the NY Post story.  

It appears CNN feels the need to expand their reach beyond airport terminals.  Soledad couldn't deliver the ratings, and in the end, that is what drives advertising revenue.

We suspect CNN will continue its decline in coming years.  But with decisions like this, at least they can delay the inevitable. 

Left Side Updates

Comrades! 

Every now and then we have some time to update our left nav bar (the left side of Ushanka).  As you may know, we use the left side of the blog to recommend books and movies that share our interest in Communism.

We also have a humidor section where we link to our favorite cigars.  A DONATE section that will take you the most worthy, anti-communist, site you'll ever have the honor to donate to. 

Last, we have a blogroll with recommended sites.  It has three sections: The first section for fellow bloggers (Comrades!) who we have met or corresponded with, Others which lists other bloggers we like, and a third section for non-blog sites.  We've added some blogs to our blogroll today. 

We are selective.  We've pre-screened these blogs with daily visits for over a month to make sure no nuance or excessive libertarianism seeps through.  Only like-minded blogs get our blessing!

When the bird feeder is empty that’s when freedom of thought will occur. And as long as DEMOCRATS keep filling the feeder with OUR MONEY, the Republican party will never be the party Hispanics vote for. Its actually pretty sad too.

Book Review: As I Walk These Broken Roads

Book Review: As I Walk These Broken Roads.  By Davis M. J. Aurini.  2012.  314 pages.

We're not always reading about the history of communism. 

For years now we've been dabbling in the Zombie/EMP/Post-Apocalypse genre.  Some are entertaining and others tragic, but all offer unique and creative predictions of what the world will look like after a major event.  Davis M. J. Aurini's book, As I Walk These Broken Roads, is a new and refreshing view into a post-event world.

Aurini's story is about a lone traveler in a world long destroyed from nuclear war.  Think Mad Max on a motorcycle.  He is a confident and capable man with a sense for right and wrong.  A survivor.  His name is Wentworth.  He is among a sparse population that, although self-sufficient, are not curious about returning to a world of machines and modern comforts.

Aurini introduces a new theme to the collapsed world theme: friendship.  While all post-apocalypse books present new relationships within a series of events, we would argue that Aurini's book switches this.  Wentworth develops a new friendship that takes the reader through the story's events.

A pet peeve of ours with many books in this genre are the common, accepted events that authors duplicate with little critical thought.  We've recently thrown a couple books into the trash within the first 100 pages because of mass rape or division-size gangs consuming cities and sweeping across the land - all just moments after an EMP or other collapse.  Please.  Any student of human nature knows these are signs of authors with an imagination:focus ratio far out of whack.  The events in Broken Roads are both believable and realistic.  The only head-scratcher for us was the seemingly endless supply of cigarettes for the chain-smoking characters.  (Maybe the only surviving industry was tobacco?  And maybe the lack of lawyers in the story suggests they all suffered horribly before dying alone?  If so, just give Aurini even more credit for finding justice in an otherwise unfair world.)

If post-war humanity from Aurini's book were represented in a line graph, the time of the story would be presented as pulling up out of the bottom of the post-war dip.  While few items from the pre-war world still work in the story and those that do are held together with duct tape, communities are forming, travel is somewhat safe, and trade is thriving.  Further, Aurini's main characters are of the intellectually curious types who are the seeds for the next modern civilization. Thus, we'd say As I Walk These Broken Roads is a positive view of humanity based at a moment in time when negativity could prevail. 

We congratulate Comrade Aurini for writing a fine book.  And we hope it is not his last.

When Liberals Attack

There will be more liberals on the attack in the coming months.  More school shootings.  More senseless death.

Here's why: the left has diluted religious and traditional family values for over three generations now.

They have washed the basics of manners and human dignity and respect from our culture to the point that the least stable among them are now in the news.

Why would someone who can rationalize, and ignore the evils of, abortion, affirmative action,  endless welfare and countless other failures of humanity all of a sudden decide NOT to kill someone they disagree with?  In the cases of Columbine, Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook, the losers actually tried to maximize their body count.  We need to outlaw unstable liberals.

How can we fix this?  Some are looking at the coming economic collapse of the US dollar as the solution.  End the welfare and subsidies and inefficiencies and restore the value of hard work and community.  In other words, get a job and be a part of society, or starve.  We're not sure those hopes will be met, but we are struggling with another solution to this values problem.

"I am a Gun Owner" say all these people at The Truth About Guns.  Click Here to see all of their photos!

Our favorites:

Also from The Truth About Guns, gun-maker LaRue is limiting their sales to law enforcement.

LaRue's announcement:

Due to the recent and numerous new Anti-gun/Anti-2nd Amendment laws passed and/or pending across our country, LaRue Tactical has been forced to reconsider how we provide products to state and local agencies.

Effective today, in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement / government agencies. In other words, LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess.

To those in law enforcement who wish to disarm the populace, we go one further than LaRue and say "turn 'em in."

Hat Inflation

Image above from Drudge a couple days ago.

It appears we are in a Recovery Recession.  Of course, a Recession is defined as two quarters of negative growth, so it is not official yet.  But we recall the 4.7 unemployment days of Bush where every quarter of positive growth was reported as "disappointing" and the signal of a coming recession.

But according to our elites in the MSM, we are "back from the brink."  Today we are riding high on the four 'summers of recovery.'  Today we have 1 of every 5 working-age adult out of work, which is damn better than 1 out of every 4!

We are raising the price of our Commie Obama Hat to $31.80, today's closing price of an ounce of silver.  This is down up from January's price of $31.07 and is necessary to keep your purchasing power in alignment.

If you think Obama and Bernanke can right the ship that is the US economy, then delay that hat purchase.  But, if you suspect that they don't know what the hell they are doing, you may want to get your hat today.
