Camelot Barbie Chronicles: Why Libs Love Their Royalty

by W. T. Howes

Democrats everywhere are drooling over the coming ascension of Caroline Kennedy to the United States Senate.  Despite her total lack of relevant experience, “Camelot Barbie” is going to begin her career near the top.  How can someone with no objective qualification for statewide office begin her career with statewide office in one of the most powerful states in the Republic?  It is because her party love political royalty.  And liberals love political royalty because it helps them rationalize their defeatist worldview.

She was my first long-distance crush.  When I was five, my family had coffee table books about JFK and his family.  When at six I wrote my first short story, it was about a rendez-vous with Caroline.  Caroline Kennedy was the princess of Camelot.  I never met her.  She was only an image to me.  Over the past forty years, I have gotten over my crush on Caroline.  While I respect her father, I do not worship her political family.  In fact, I have come to detest what they stand for.

Liberals across the Republic love the Kennedys.  Liberals across America allow the Kennedys to retain power, and allow Kennedys to ascend to power before they have any experience.  Why?

It is very simple.  Their concept of the existence of an exclusive class structure and a political aristocracy helps them rationalize their defeatist world view.  At the core of their defeatist world view is their egotistic notion that they are under compensated and under appreciated.  (If I had a quarter for every liberal who thought that they were paid less than they are worth, then I would be paid what I am worth!) That notion is based on the premise that they are smart.  And thanks to the Self-Esteem Revolution, so many people are taught - either by their parents or by a teacher - that they are smart in order to boost that self-esteem.

These liberals who walk around thinking that they are really, really smart quite often don’t have jobs, titles, income or any other indicator of intelligence.  As such, these liberals come to believe that there is a rigid class structure in which talent can not rise.  They believe this because if talent could rise, then wouldn’t they be richer or more powerful?

Therefore, they embrace the political royalty, and in that embrace, they are safe in the delusion that they are hidden geniuses.

So many liberals think that they are smart that the words “smart” or “intelligent” or any of their many synonyms now have no objective definition.  “Smart” can be self-defining.  That is, a person can walk around thinking that they are smart because others do not understand what they understand.  A person can walk around thinking that they are smart without any objective proof that their intelligence is anything but average or above-average.

MFP Apologizes to Philadelphia Eagles Fans

by TheTruthSquad

Men for Palin apologizes to any Philadelphia Eagles fans who took offense to Mr. Faribanks’s offhand comment yesterday that implied that the Eagles would lose their Thanksgiving Day matchup with the hapless Arizona Cardinals.  The Eagles pounded the Cardinals 44-20, and as they say, the game wasn’t as close as the score might indicate.  Mr. Fairbanks has been disciplined.  He should never say anything derogatory about a team from a battleground state.

The JFK Assassination:  It was the Gulf Coast Mob

by TheTruthSquad

Carlos Marcello (above left) was the all-powerful, undisputed boss of the Gulf Coast Cosa Nostra.  Jack Ruby (above right) was a mob associate in Dallas, and not a crazed American patriot upset about the assassination of a beloved Commander in Chief.  And was Lee Harvey Oswald (left) just a lunatic Communitst?  Perhaps a lunatic.  Perhaps a Communist.  But there was more there than meets the eye.  This is an MFP exclusive on the 45th anniversary of the death of President Kennedy.

For the past forty-five years, Americans have speculated about what really led to the assassination of President Kennedy.  There are two types of people in the world:  Those who think that Oswald acted alone, and those that believe that he was part of a conspiracy.  Many conspiracy theorists believe in the “MacBird” Theory in which LBJ is believed to have been behind the assassination in order to fulfill his presidential ambitions.  No evidence.  Total poppycock.  Many conspiracy theorists believe in the explanation made famous by Oliver Stone in “JFK”.  Stone’s movie was based on a work by former Orleans Parish (Louisiana) District Attorney and Judge, Jim Garrison, who preached that there was a conspiracy involving the dark and nefarious “Military Industrial Complex.”

The Garrison story is nothing more than a coverup for the real conspiracy.  The real conspiracy is much less sinister.

It was at one time an open secret in New Orleans that “Uncle Carlos” Marcello was ultimately responsible for the assassination.  Carlos Marcello was the overlord of the Gulf Coast Cosa Nostra until he was sent to federal prison in the 1980s.  Jim Garrison was the Orleans Parish District Attorney back in the 1960s.  District Attorneys are elected in Lousisiana, and Garrison was elected with assistance from the Marcello family.  A study performed in the late 1980s found that Marcello associates fared very well in felony prosecutions when compared to the general New Orleans criminal population during the Garrison years.  Yes, Garrison’s prosecution of a New Orleans businessman for the assassination was mere misdirection.

Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald gave America its most stunning television moment ever when Ruby killed Oswald on live television.

This is a very puzzling event until you consider the following.  Jack Ruby ran nightclubs in the Dallas area.  He was an associate of the Campisi Brothers, who were the mob bosses who ran Texas.  The Campisi Brothers reported directly to Carlos Marcello, who ruled the Gulf Coast mob from the Florida Panhandle through Texas.  Marcello was reputed to be an independent whose famiglia owed no allegiance to any of the Five Families.  He ran his empire with impunity.  He ran his empire without interference from the civilian authorities.

That is, until the federal government began nosing in his affairs.  When a United States Senate committee began looking into the affairs of Uncle Carlos, their chief counsel was one Robert Kennedy, Esq., brother of the committee chair, Hon. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.).  The Kennedy brothers were relentless in their pursuit of Marcello.  Their pursuit continued past the 1960 election of JFK.  As US Attorney General, Bobby continued his pursuit of Marcello.

But Bobby just couldn’t pin anything on Uncle Carlos, so he exploited Uncle Carlos’s immigration status.  Marcello was born abroad and was living in the states under a fake Guatemalan birth certificate.  Bobby prosecuted Uncle Carlos on the immigration beef and had him deported.  When I say deported, I mean that they threw him on a plane and dropped him off in Guatemala.  Guatemala in 1962 was a banana republic - not much more than a jungle where a military junta ruled.  Needless to say, Uncle Carlos was not happy.

“Remove this stone from my shoe,” was what Marcello said after his return to Louisiana.  And thus the order was given.

But what about Lee Harvey Oswald?

Lee Harvey Oswald was a numbers runner who worked out of Felix’s Oyster Bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.  He was the assassin.  He was more than a little nutty so he had to be eliminated.  Jack Ruby was more seasoned and more proven and more vested in the system.  He eliminated Oswald.  The only was that the Ruby story truly makes sense is if you see him as a mob soldier going into a hopeless situation as just that - a soldier that knew he was going to be killed or captured.  Soldiers do these things.  The rest of us don’t.

People just don’t want to believe that the mob is responsible.  But they were.
