El greco Begger.jpg

Saint Martin and the Beggar
Doménikos Theotokópoulos

His colors are glorious, and even the oddly shaped people are strangely appealing. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for El Greco.

1 Since we're not allowed to care what happens in these diverse utopias because we don't live there (or live in ALL of the city), that frees us from having to give a teensy sh*t about what happens to the diverse residents on a daily basis, right?

I'm starting to think that I might be okay with that agreement.

23 Getting ready to leave town, and just posted my rant below.

Excuse me for reposting it here. It's been a long and awful couple of days for our family and one of our dear friends. Anyhow, let's see if pixy lets me post it intact:


And so it begins in Savannah:


Our RINO Mayor announced
through the newspaper that we must look at "expanding the story" of a
lone Civil War monument, located in a remote section of a large park. It
was built by funds collected by widows following the war, and shows a
grieving widow on its base. In order to see it closely at all, requires
finding a parking space in the busy park, and walking across the park to
its base.

He said this:

"We all must denounce these forms
of domestic terrorism [Charlottesville Nazis] and rally around each
other in the name of peace and unity. We must not just be on the right
side of history, but we must write the right version of history."

This
blue city has monuments apologizing for slavery, in recognition of the
Haitians who fought with the French here during the Revolution, you name
it. But by all means, let's go after a monument a group of grieving
widows raised money for and had erected in their loved ones' memories.

Savannah and Atlanta. Blue cities in a red state. How much longer the state will remain red is anyone's guess.

41 The painting is actually metaphorical. That's a young Donald Trump on the horse. The naked fool is Obama. The metaphor is really about exposing the "naked" partisan destruction Obama and his Marxist allies have tried to perpetrate. The fact that Trump is elevated on the horse is a sign of victory and righteousness. The fig leaf means an end to the sodomy the Left is trying to perpetrate against us.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 18, 2017 09:30 AM (mbhDw)


You may be correct, JJ. However-

I think this is more the base cowardice of the politician, and worse the GOP politician.

The statues are probably gone because no one is going to fight for "racist, white nationalism, and slave-holding" as the MSM is now framing the debate.

Maybe they hope that will undermine Trump-

I doubt it though. Trump's words have been correct and totally non-offensive to anyone not infested with NeverTrumptardism and Progtardism.


One action Trump can take and reframe the "debate"-

is to simply draw the parallel between the masked Antifa and the masked KKK and their violent suppression of civil rights.

Say it was wrong when the KKK did it and it is wrong now.

We have Freedom of Speech in this country even when you disagree with what is being said.

Therefore, you have instructed the Attorney General to examine these groups and who is funding them for violations regarding Civil Rights.

We are a nation of law and order after all.

Of course, Trump would have to get Sleepy Jeff on board.

Our CongressCowards won't sign on until they see results and I suspect and huge percentage of normal people would be on board.

Americans don't like lawless, masked vigilantes AT ALL.

67 El Greco's art is an exportation of Byzantine styles to Spain after the fall of the Constantinople. The Byzantine style was THE style of the Middle Ages and emphasized an abstraction of the human form to emphasize the otherworldly-ness of its messages. According to Wikipedia, El Greco grew up in post-Byzantine Crete, learning the style there and transported it to Spain. The West was transitioning to its Mannerist/early Baroque art phase at the time, so its interesting to see how his art fits into the era. "Everything old is new again", perhaps?

One would think.

But...not so sure anymore.

I was speaking with an individual last night who I normally would think highly of.

And we both started talking about the recent craziness.

And I told him that an awful lot of people have learned that if you dislike what another person says, you can assault them and destroy or vandalize their property. And that the media was helping to reenforce that teaching with their commentary and reporting.

And his response was that Trump started it.

I'm like, "What the fuck".

We have skipped right over 'They bring a knife, we bring a gun", and have arrived at the original sin of candidate Trump as the fountainhead of all hate.

One the one hand, calling half the country neo-nazi racists for supporting Trump is no different than Hillary's "deplorables" remark, and we saw how well that worked for her. On the other hand, this non-stop, relentless "NAZI NAZI NAZI" meme is remarkable. I guess time will tell.

The bas-relief of Robert E. Lee was defaced and damaged yesterday, and will probably not be repaired, according to Duke President, get this, Vincent Price.

And did you know that the president of Duke is named Vincent Price?

But...not so sure anymore.

I was speaking with an individual last night who I normally would think highly of.

And we both started talking about the recent craziness.

And I told him that an awful lot of people have learned that if you dislike what another person says, you can assault them and destroy or vandalize their property. And that the media was helping to reenforce that teaching with their commentary and reporting.

And his response was that Trump started it.

I'm like, "What the fuck".

We have skipped right over 'They bring a knife, we bring a gun", and have arrived at the original sin of candidate Trump as the fountainhead of all hate.

That Marist poll which shows a majority of Americans, even in the Northwest and West, do not approve of removing the Confederate statues, is encouraging. Because if most Americans agree it's wrong to take down Robert E. Lee's statue, they're really not going to like the calls to remove Washington and Jefferson.

And the sight of antifas braving beating and kicking a statue will show Americans that the MSM and Dem and GOPe pols are lying about antifa being a brave anti-racism group.

Yeah, I had a nevertrumper, but conservative by policy positions, actually say that it was Trump's violent rhetoric that caused the left to "wake up" and use violence against their perceived political enemies.

No response when I asked about the paid violent agitators.


So now not only is Trump responsible for the violence from the alt-right, but he is also responsible for the violence from the alt-left.


Nice magic trick he did there, getting the nutjobs to fight amongst themselves.

Not sure about statues, but there is a memorial in Washington Square (gonna have to rename that) to the soldiers of the Revolutionary War who are buried in a mass grave in the park, and the soldiers are from both sides. There's a statue of Jefferson there, so I guess that's going to have to go too.

264 I love El Greco's use of brilliant, shining color and his ability to show detail is staggering. Look at Martin's armor or the detail in The Burial of The Count of Orgaz. El Greco's use of proportions can be odd, as in this painting, but not always. I wonder if there is some art history reason to employ it.

Since I wasn't aware of the story behind the painting, it lacked any emotional aspect. But the artistry is amazing.

272 The El Greco paintings I've seen look well proportioned hanging on their walls. He always painted elongated figures with an inner light and his colors are muted.

Spanish painters were really something. They figured out where their paintings would be displayed and planned accordingly. There's a painting of a prince riding a pony painted by Diego Velazquez. When the painting is looked at head-on, the pony looks like a huge barrel and the details seem kind of blurry, but when it's hung up high on the wall as it should be, the proportions are perfect. It's also about 8 feet tall iirc.

I took my nieces to the Detroit Institute of Arts to show them the Rivera murals, and there's a small Velazquez there. Looks like a bunch of blurry figures around a mirror. I told them to back away carefully until the figures coalesced.

333 How hard would it be for Ryan, McConnell and co. to give a press conference on the steps of the Capitol: explaining to the American people that Republicans, the party of Lincoln, who just won a national election, are not "Nazis" or "Confederates" and to say so is a slander on the majority of Americans in the majority of States who voted for our President?

And... they should prominently feature Sheriff Clarke who is a far better defender of American liberty in a time like this than any of the current "leadership" --and not because of his skin color, but because he gets it and will fight for it.

And of course picking Tillerson also opened up Trump to even more ZOMG PUTIN attacks from the left because of Exxon's history of cutting oil dev deals with the Kremlin.

We've all heard of "lose-lose" situations. Tillerson has turned out to be a lose-lose-lose situation. No good points at all to speak of.

Everything looks like its floating against the background, the composition is weird since your eye is not pulled toward anything except the horse. There's no flow at all.

Now, maybe he was trying to simulate a religious icon, so he was following that kind of style but this is a terrible painting.

416 Remember how we've been told by Rush and others that the GOP didn't want to pass Trump's agenda because they were pretty sure that Trump would be impeached?

I think we are seeing an overreaction on the part of Republicans regarding Trump's inoffensive "race" words because it has dawned on them that the Russian Collusion story is a Big Fat Lie and nothing Mueller comes up with is gong to be an impeachable offense.

So they are scrambling to find something on Trump so as not to have to deal with his agenda.

IF Mueller clears Trump of "Collusion"--a big IF-Trump will be unstoppable. The Media, The Dems and the GOPe can't have that. So they are looking for a back-up plan.

555 Just got back from making a public scene and then filing a complaint about the folks who caused me to raise my voice.

I was at RML (Regional Medical Laboratories) to get a fasting blood draw. Usually they have HGTV or some other fluffy show on in the waiting room. Today they had on ESPN/Sportscenter and some Black host was ranting and raving about Republicans being Nazis and how Trump must resign. He was also saying ugly things about Republicans and hiding in their nice houses, blah, blah, blah. I could feel my BP going up and up. One of the three techs at the front desk, a very plump young White woman with long dark hair was standing in front of the TV with her mouth open just hypnotized and nodding.

So I said in a sharp loud voice, "Please turn that off. It is offensive."

So Miss Hypnotized grabs the remote and turns the sound down, but, does not change the channel.

Then the two young techs keep looking at each other because they do not want to do the draw. Finally, the old gray haired tech says, "I will stick her." She does the draw. She does a good job and I tell her so and thank her.

Then, I get home and call corporate. The last thing I said to the young woman taking the complaint was this:

"What if I had been some crazy person with a gun who did not take kindly to whatever politics was being spouted on your lobby TV. It's not smart to have that kind of TV playing in your lobby."

Additionally, he threw a temper tantrum yesterday and issued an executive order supposedly withdrawing Virginia from a multi-state off-shore drilling compact (this is a meaningless gesture since only the GA has the power to do this) because "he did not trust the Trump administration". Something's got him in a strop and I think it is that his plan to cause Republicans in the state to cower and run (cause NAZIS) is not going quite the way he thought it would.

Well, see...here's the thing.

They are all in accordance with-

naturalfake's First Law of State and Institutional Contnuity(TM).

Which states:

That States(countries) and Institutions rarely change their essential nature. They simply change their public relations.

The Democrat Party is a great example of this:

They used the masked, paramilitary violence of the KKK to deny the Civil Rights of a group of Americans, who they wished to stigmatize as racial pariahs, and thus gain and keep power.

Now, they use the masked, paramilitary violence of the Antifa to deny the Civil Rights of a group of Americans, who they wished to stigmatize as racial pariahs, and thus gain and keep power.

Same organization, same thinking, same methodology, same goals.

Different PR.


They are still Democrats because they follow the Democrats' organizational goals and models.

This is a battle between two low IQ factions of the Democrat Party.

Much like the battles between the two Socialist entities the Nazis and Commies.
