It’s not everyday that you get to look up a word that you don’t hear too much…hegemony. It means the dominance of one group over another, without force. Okay, I had to look it up, because it seemed this weekend proponents of hegemony were everywhere…and yes, it sounds as silly as it looks.
“He-gem’mon-nie” sounds like something you have with your grits and bacon.
Actually, it means men in power overtake a country by using “soft power.” They fill your universities, schools, media, and culture, with the way they want you to think.
Brain-washing is a more succinct and accurate word, but “soft power” is preferred by most liberals.
All this diversity, affirmative action, attacking Christians, and putting all the kids on the earth in hobo clothes (basically with holes in the pants) it’s all part of using “soft power.”
And it’s one of the ideas promoted by our beloved CFR, a group which should be outlawed along with the United Nations.
There were two senior “fellows” from the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) on C-Span last weekend; Walter Mead, who was almost disgustingly democratic, and Jimmy’s Carter’s ex-National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who kept calling the Polish immigrants in Ireland, “peasants.”
He knew that was politically incorrect, so he apologized.
I’m sorry; I’m from the show –me state. When there is a Russian giving advice to a American President, is that a good thing? It’s about as trust worthy as someone named Osama- Barak running for President. Maybe if John Kerry changed his name to Kerry Kim Jong III, he might have a chance at running a second time.
This is the direction we are going.
“Soft power” has been landing quite a few blows on the American sleeping giant.
There you go—a perfect example of hegemony. Conquer the people with your cultural political correctness. We must not be suspicious of political officials with foreign names. We must be open to all…use the carrot instead of the stick. That’s the democrat’s motto.
Which is only what Bill Clinton did with North Korea says his “wife” Hillary. Just because Kim Jong sick-co is now armed due to Bill giving him millions to build whatever he liked, along with the plutonium to go with it, is no reason to suspect that hegemony doesn’t work.
Bill Clinton, the king of liars, said that Kim Jong IL…well, he lied.
No wonder they get along so well.
Then, Hillary comes out over the attacks on her husband, the great hegemonic example himself, and criticizes President Bush for not doing anything about North Korea.
Get it? They know that the American people have always believed in the “hard power.” It seems President Bush cannot win no matter what he does.
But back to the meeting at C-Span with Mr. Mead and Zbigniew.
They claimed that this “sovereignty” idea that some Americans were clinging too, was… get this… arcane. Outdated thinking. Very ancient like Kings and Queens.
They forgot to mention that the people of the three countries that the CFR wants to merge will not be asked if it’s what they want. That is up to the Kings and Queens of hegemony.
At least the European elites gave the countries in Europe a vote on merging.
That’s why France and Holland voted down the EU…they told the EU to go stuff their hegemonic heads up their grits and bake it. (This redeems the French…well somewhat.)
Mr. Mead (a Yale man) said that Americans have an “ungrounded” fear of the Mexicans taking over our nation. Why, he said, sooner or later, the Mexican women will stop having babies! There you go! Not to worry.
I suppose, they will stop after they introduce the “morning after pill.” Or maybe they will just sterilized the water, use some of that “soft power.”
On top of that, the old people of America he said should go and retire in Mexico.
This North American Alliance is not only a great idea, its Walter Mead’s idea of a great hegemonic plan for the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
I couldn’t believe my nobody ears.
All this was said with great applause at the American Chambers of Commerce, who gave both honored hegemonic guests prizes and plaques of hegemony notarization.
Then, I watched George Soros, who acts like a benign old grandpa, telling his story of hegemony, which consists of Mr. Soros going around the world and breaking banks and whole countries with his fortunes.
All this was done without a shot! He sees nothing wrong with causing governments to change to the socialist/Marxist country that HE wants it to be. But, George Bush should not go militarily into Iraq and try to change anything—it’s just wrong.
At least President George Bush let the Iraqis have an election, which is more than what we will get on the Northern Alliance Issue.
Speaking of our President, Bush was dedicating a new National Monument to the Air Force this weekend, almost at the same time that Kim Jong Ill was saying that the United States has declared war on North Korea.
I watched the whole thing—they sure underplayed it. We have better air shows here in Missouri. Well that was before they took our National Air Guard away.
By the way, have you seen it? I sure do miss those guys.
Looking like you have a Big Stick is not politically correct right now, so the ceremony had the Thunderbirds do a short little run, but it was very subdued. Where was the great plane show? They should have had hundreds in the air…
Well, we know one thing; the planes aren’t in New York.
After the initial attack on Iraq and Tommy Franks’s superb show of “hard force” Bush has drifted into the hegemonic river, and that is why the Republicans are destined to lose in 2006, and 2008.
Unless they get some guts back.
Well, I learned the word, and already I want to forget it. This hegemonic stuff has been going on for quite some time.
They hegemonized the invasion from Mexico, they have hegemonized the threat of the Islamic attacks, they have hegemonized our culture with the new political correctness which is just another word for “censor,” and now, in the upcoming elections, when we will finally get Hillary as President and Nancy as Speaker, everyone in the United States will have to learn to say…
‘We have been hegemoized, which is just another word for, “We have been…*#%&.”
Nobody’s Perfect—Clinton said today “People Know Something Is Wrong.” Gee Bill…ya think?
Nobody Knows—They are going to send up Spy Planes in England to watch around for anti-social behavior. The article said that the United States already has them.
So why don’t they have them at our sporting events?
Nobody Cares— I’m hoping for a Cards Vs Dodgers World Series. Where else can you have teams made up of Latinos fighting for the people of two very American Midwestern cities which they intend to invade soon?
Someone in our current government is once again practicing the art of “soft power.” We are sending spare parts of airplanes over to Iran, so they can repair their aircraft, which might be going over our cities to spy on us sometime soon.
It’s all in the hegemonic house of the New World Order.
you rang?
Peter Wiggin?
Naw - I was never really all that cruel to small animals. I just liked the name.
Hehe, I had read Ender's Game a long time ago and just now am into the last book of the tetrology. I couldn't resist posting with the title being what it was.
