Vice Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party, Paul Ryan, has made history,and has made me and this blog famous, for I saw him coming a long time ago. Paul echos the opinions of my brother, Mark Presco, and my daughter, Heather Hanson, when it comes to naming needy folks receiving Government assistance “PARASITES”. This shaming of the Poor, and Women, makes Mitt and Ryan the American Taliban. Threatening to take away food stamps from the hungry and throw seniors off a cliff – is Politcal Religious Terrorism, a tactic suggested by Rushdoony who believes that teenagers who talk back to their parents should be stoned to death according to God’s laws in the Bible.
Mitt and Ryan are on a mission from God, they believing Secular Government offers a alternative to being converted to Catholicism and Mormonisn. These two nut-jobs want to put millions of Americans in CRISIS so they come crawling to – THEM – the Prophets!
When Paul Ryan raised from the dead “GERMAN INTELLECTUALS” as the source of the ANTI-GOD and ANTI-AMERICAN “CANCER” that has been slowly destroying America, he launches a direct attack on my grandparents, and my historic kindred, John Fremont, and Jessie Benton, who founded the Radical Republican Party with the help of German Forty-Eighters, who were Free-Thinkers and intellectuals who founded Turnverien Clubs all over America, especially in Wisconsin where a large number of Germans settled after the Turner Revolutions in Europe against the Habsburgs and the Catholic Church the King of the Romans had long defended with large sums of money and troops. Paul Ryan is a wealthy Catholic who inherited his money from his forbearer. His unmerciful use of Jesus’ teaching is being opposed by Nuns on Buses.
Paul Ryan gives God and Jesus credit for founding this Nation. But this can not be true, because Jesus did not bid our Founding Fathers to give women the right to vote, nor did he bid Christians to abolish slavery in 1776. These rights came from the Radical Republicans, the German and Hungarian Socialists who comprised the bodyguard of my kindred, John Fremont, Jessie Benton, as wekk as Abraham Lincoln. The Jessie Scouts opposed Maxmillian Von Habsburg, Emeperor of Mexico, who championed the Papacy, and plotted to bring thousands of Iraih Catholics to Mexico and launch them against the Radical Republicans, thus bringing the Forty-Eight Revolution in Europe, to American soil. Maxmillian rooted for the Confederate Traitors who murdered tens of thousand of Loyal Americans, at a great financial cost to all Americans.
Any man – least a Christian man – who holds prisoner another human being so as to enrich himself via free labour, is a PARASITE! Any man who uses his wife like a slave – is a PARASITE! Allbut a hndful of people in this world know who Paul Ryan is referring to when he invokes the the idea smart Germans are the source of the Anti-Godism in Amerca. These same Forty-Eighters were the Founding Fathers of Secual Socialist Israel.
Ryan is insane as is his ilk who want to destroy this Secular Government, and repliace it with Church Rule, which means the Pope would hold much power over the American People, as would the the filthy rich who have a long history of supporting the Papacy for personal gain. The Pope, and Power and Money, go hand in hand. This is the first time in history where no Protestant is a candidate for high office in a major party. My family, and this blog, is making real history, for I predicted this was coming. You can go back and read this fact in my posts.

What Ryan did not mention was the political philosophy that underpins what is universally recognized as “the Wisconsin Idea.” The vice presidential candidates’s thinking was shaped by Atlas Shrugged author Ayn Rand and Austrian economists, not by the progressive political ideals of the first Wisconsinite to lead a national political ticket into serious competition for the White House: governor, senator and 1924 presidential candidate Robert M. La Follette.
In fact, the House Budget Committee chairman is expressly at odds with his home-state’s progressive tradition.
In 2010, Ryan told conservative commentator Glenn Beck: “What I’ve been trying to do is indict the entire vision of progressivism because I see progressivism as the source, the intellectual source for the big government problems that are plaguing us today. And so to me it’s really important to flush progressives out into the field of open debate—so people can actually see what this ideology means and where it’s going to lead us and how it attacks the American idea.”
“I love you!” gushed Beck.
Beck referred to progressivism as “a cancer.”
“Exactly,” replied Ryan. “Look, I come from—I’m calling you from Janesville, Wisconsin where I’m born and raised, where we raise our family. (It’s) 35 miles from Madison. I grew up hearing about this stuff. This stuff came from these German intellectuals to Madison‑University of Wisconsin and sort of out there from the beginning of the last century. So this is something we are familiar with where I come from. It never sat right with me. And as I grew up, I learned more about the founders and reading the Austrians and others that this is really a cancer because it basically takes the notion that our rights come from God and nature and turns it on its head and says, no, no, no, no, no, they come from government, and we here in government are here to give you your rights and therefore ration, redistribute and regulate your rights. It’s a complete affront of the whole idea of this country and that is to me what we as conservatives, or classical liberals if you want to get technical.”
La Follette and “those first progressives,” Ryan said, “tried to use populism and popular ideas as a means to getting—detaching people from the Constitution and founding principles to pave the way for the centralized bureaucratic welfare state.”
O.K., we know what Ryan thinks about progressives, contemporary and historic, and about the ideals for which La Follette and the first progressives.
So what would La Follette, the true progressive, have thought of Ryan?
Well, Ryan is most identified with the conservative campaign to mangle Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, while La Follette and the Wisconsin progressives fought to establish old-age pensions and protections.
Ryan is proudly opposed to health-care reform, while La Follette (and, it should be noted, Teddy Roosevelt) began talking up national health care in the early 1900s.
Ryan wants to cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy, while La Follette and the Progressives declared themselves for “a taxation policy providing for immediate reductions upon moderate incomes, large increases in the inheritance tax rates upon large estates to prevent the indefinite accumulation by inheritance of great fortunes in a few hands” and “taxes upon excess profits to penalize profiteering.”
In 1960, Senator Barry Goldwater wrote to Ayn Rand to thank her for defending the “conservative position” he believed they shared during her famous appearance on “The Mike Wallace Interview,” adding, “I have enjoyed very few books as much in my life as I have yours, ‘Atlas Shrugged’.”
Rand considered the fiscally conservative, fiercely anti-Communist Goldwater to be the most promising politician of his day, much as the Tea Party considers Paul Ryan, another admirer of Rand. But the grand dame of free-market individualism couldn’t really endorse any politician, or, for that matter, any character whom she had not either created in one of her blockbuster novels or personally drilled in the propaganda sessions she conducted from her midtown New York apartment. She was a purist, convinced of the evils of compromise.
She wrote back to Goldwater, excoriating his calls to religious faith in the signed copy of his book, “The Conscience of a Conservative,” he had sent her. When four years later he ran for president, she sent the wife of her chief acolyte to hand-deliver an unsolicited speech she had written on the virtues of capitalism and wanted him to give at Madison Square Garden. When he gave his own speech, she washed her hands of him. Other Republicans had been guilty of “compromise, evasion, cowardice, ‘me-too-ism,” she wrote in her monthly newsletter to followers. Not Barry Goldwater. He simply had “nothing to say.”

This is the trouble politicians have always had with Rand: Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and Jack Kemp all embraced her, but in a half-baked, back-room, wink-and-a-nod kind of way whose inconsistency she could spot in an instant and retaliated against with scorn. She knew they wanted her for only one thing, or maybe two: her defense of laissez-faire capitalism and her insistence that the federal government had no legitimate role beyond adjudicating contracts and ensuring the national defense. But she was also a radical atheist, proclaiming that the very idea of God was an insult to man. She wasn’t merely indifferent to the poor but actively despised those who took government aid, calling them looters, moochers, and parasites. She was anti-draft and, for the most part, anti-war, explaining that “duty” was one of the most destructive anti-concepts ever devised to trick people into sacrificing their own interests to someone else’s. (“At whose expense?” she liked to call out whenever duty was invoked.) She said things like, “There are two sides to every issue. One side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil,” and, “Every mystic (meaning religious believer) craves obedience from men, not their agreement. He wants them to surrender their consciousness to his.” She viewed all of this as part of a vertically integrated, self-consistent take-it-or-leave it work of world-class genius, and she bitterly denounced those who “cashed in” on her system of ideas by touting some but not all of it.
There’s less danger now to politicians who say they admire Rand than there used to be before she died in 1982. Still, Paul Ryan—loyal Catholic, young TARP supporter, unconvincing claimant to the art of compromise across the aisle—has recently had to backpedal away from his expressed enthusiasm for her, proving again what all who encountered the living woman knew: She’s unembraceable, even if you wanted to.
According to a new scientific paper, cancer might actually be a newly evolved species of parasite based on the fact that the cells depend on their hosts for food, but otherwise act independently and to the detriment of their host.
Mr. Vonnegut was also a member of the Indianapolis Turngemeinde, from which was later developed the Social Turnverein of Indianapolis. This characteristic institution of German club life was established in 1851. The members of this organization were the pioneers in introducing physical education and manual training in the public schools. Clemens Vonnegut held a fifty-five years membership in the Turnverein, and his influence and co-operation were vital in the establishment and successful operation of the Normal College of the North American Gymnastic Union, located in the Athenaeum.
Clemens Vonnegut. As was pointed out by Mr. Dunn in his History of Indianapolis, no single foreign nationality, was a nationality, had a greater influence in the development of the city than the German. The city owes a special debt to the Germans who came following the collapse of the revolutionary movement of 1848. In that struggle they had lost their father-land, but they brought with them to the New Word a vision and an impulse to intellectual and political betterment which meant much to the new nation, as a nation, and to countless communities throughout the Middle West. On the broad prairies and in the forests, in peace and in war, in every branch of human endeavors and human achievement. One of these at Indianapolis was the late Clemens Vonnegut.
Turners (German: Turner, gymnasts in English) are members of German-American gymnastic clubs. A German gymnastic movement was started by Turnvater (turners’ father) Friedrich Ludwig Jahn in the early 19th century when Germany was occupied by Napoleon. The Turnvereine (“gymnastic unions”) were not only athletic, but also political, reflecting their origin in similar “nationalistic gymnastic” organizations in Europe. The Turner movement in Germany was generally liberal in nature, and many Turners took part in the Revolution of 1848.[1] After its defeat, the movement was suppressed and many Turners left Germany, some emigrating to the United States. Several of these Forty-Eighters went on to become Civil War soldiers, the great majority in the Union Army, and American politicians. Besides serving as physical education, social, political and cultural organizations for German immigrants, Turners were also active in the American public education and the labor movements.[2][3][4] Eventually the German Turner movement became involved in the process leading to German unification.

Postage stamp commemorating the hundredth anniversary of the American Turners
The Turnvereine made an important contribution to the integration of German-Americans into their new home. The organizations continue to exist in areas of heavy German immigration, such as Iowa, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri, Kentucky, New York City, and Los Angeles.
Together with Carl Schurz, the American Turners were supportive of the election of Abraham Lincoln as president of the United States. They provided the bodyguard at his inauguration on March 4, 1861, and at his funeral in April, 1865. In the Camp Jackson Affair, a large force of German volunteers helped prevent Confederate forces from seizing the government arsenal in St. Louis just prior to the beginning of the war.[5]
Like other German-American groups, the American Turners experienced discrimination during World War I. The German language was banned in schools and universities, and German language journals and newspapers were shut down, but the Turner societies continued to function.[2]
In 1948, the U.S. Post Office issued a 3-cent commemorative stamp marking the 100th anniversary of the movement in the United States.
Cultural assimilation and the two World Wars with Germany took a gradual toll on membership, with some halls closing and others becoming regular dance halls, bars or bowling alleys.[4] Fifty-four Turner societies still exist around the U.S. as of 2011. The current headquarters of the American Turners is in Louisville, Kentucky.[6]
RYAN: We are saying the same thing.
BECK: it’s a cancer.
RYAN: Exactly. Look, I come from — I’m calling you from Janesville, Wisconsin —
BECK: Holy cow.
RYAN: — where I’m born and raised, where we raised our family, 35 miles from Madison. I grew up hearing about this stuff. This stuff came from these German intellectuals to Madison, University of Wisconsin, and then sort of out from there at the beginning of the last century.

BECK: Thank you.
RYAN: — ought to be doing to flush this out. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Glenn Beck Program, 4/12/10]
This. is. crazy. talk.
To say things like this, to think that people and ideas can fit into a neat little box that you can target and say “blame them for everything, they are 100% wrong” – that is very very ignorant and dangerous hate speech. Us vs. them. We have seen the example of history as to where that kind of talk leads.
In addition to the very disturbing realization that Ryan is in NO WAY capable of representing all Americans. His mind is closed. He has a deep-seated bias, based on ridiculous and bizarre ideas from Ayn Rand and others that he has marinated in his whole life. He is brainwashed. His views are black and white and set in stone. He is seriously and dangerously deluded.
Paul Ryan is on a mission and he is single-minded and ruthless. He considers it his life’s work. His goal is to destroy everything associated with progressivism: the Great Society, the New Deal, worker’s, women’s and LGBT rights, the social safety net, the leveling of the playing field provided by public schools and scholarships, basic fairness, humanity and common decency in our society. In short, he is against everything democracy is all about protecting and fostering. This is pure, vicious social Darwinism. The poor are poor because they are weak and lazy. Let the sick and the old die. Let the hungry starve. If you can’t be a big strong rich white Christian male like he is, then screw you. You are nothing. You are worse than worthless – you are a leech on society. Talk about eugenics. Something Beck says is a progressive idea, when in fact it would be aggressively converted into formal policy by people like Paul Ryan.
History is indeed repeating itself with the current statement by Jim Messina Obama’s campaign manager calling Paul Ryan a “radical Republican.” The last time this term reverberated so loudly through the Capital and the nation was during the troubled times leading up to the Civil War and during reconstruction after the war (1854 to 1877).
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are on the right side of history when the Democrats are using this “hallowed” term once again. The Republicans gave this nation back its rightful heritage, washed away the sins of slavery, and cleansed the stain against the nations honor by bringing “freedom” to an enslaved people.
All during this time the Democrats both before and after the war continually engaged in behavior that disenfranchised the nation’s slaves from their basic human right to freedom. Their objections used the language of “states rights” which opposed any thought of the abolition of slavery as the economic system in the South was literally built on the backs of “free labor” by slaves.
How sweet this sound is that this derogatory term once again reverberates through Congress and heralds the righteousness of their cause to bring “freedom” once again to the nation. This time from the economic bondage from the Democrats ruinous policies, that is destroying our economy and making enemies of her people based solely on their income and beliefs. Brought to us by Obama and the Democrats social agenda to remake the nation into a vision that is contrary to our American way of life and throwing us back to the 1800’s and the rights of a privileged elitist class to rule over us.
This statement by Jim Messina is a portent that we may very well see troubled times ahead until the torch of freedom is lit once again in the White House and Capital; but make no mistake about it God has shone favor upon this nation, will we see it for what it is.
