The Modern Welfare State: Squeegee Extortion. What?

“Squeegee People
Mike Adams
March 03, 2014

My readers may or may not have heard of squeegee people. Those of you who haven’t need to hear about them. This is especially true if you spend much time traveling by car, particularly in big cities.

Squeegee people will approach your car in traffic in some major cities holding a squeegee in one hand and a cup in the other hand. They will start cleaning your windshield without securing your permission. When they are done, they hold out their cup expecting to be compensated for their ‘work ($1 for one minute? Thats pretty good pay. Do you think it is claimed as income on their taxes? Do they file taxes?—my addition.’ But paying them isn’t optional. It’s required. Anyone who refuses gets the side of his car keyed with the metal frame of the squeegee (Isnt that a crime?—my addition). It’s a form of extortion that street people learned from politicians who shake down corporations they later accuse of representing ‘powerful special interest groups.’

The solution to squeegee people is pretty simple. You must keep a firearm in your car at all times, especially when driving through a densely populated urban area. My weapon of choice is the Taurus Judge. My ammo of choice is the Winchester PDX1 self-defense round.

Of course, just having a gun in these situations helps. Chances are, you’ll never have to use or even brandish it. This was true of a friend of mine who had an encounter with one of these squeegee people just a couple of months ago. The man approached the car, cleaned the windshield, and then held out his cup waiting for his ‘tip.’ Then things took an unexpected turn.

My friend responded in a way that would have made fans of the movie Grand Torino proud. He held up his left hand in the shape of a gun and dropped his thumb to mimic the dropping of the hammer (So, finger guns are dangerous! No wonder the 10 year old boy was expelled from school!—my addition). The Clint Eastwood imitation worked. The man withdrew his cup, smiled, and quietly went on his way.

Notice that my friend, who was indeed packing heat, didn’t have to draw his weapon. He just calmly let the man know that he had one and that he wasn't going to allow some punk to extort money from him under the threat of keying the side of his car using the metal portion of the squeegee (Which is the way you handle bullies and want to be bullies! You stand up to them John Boehner!—my addition).

It was just another crime that didn’t happen and another insurance report that didn’t have to be filed. And who wouldn’t be happy about that? I think some of you already know the answer.

Because I so loved hearing the story of my friend’s successful encounter with the squeegee extortionist, I decided to share it with another professor here at UNC-Wilmington. The professor is one I’ve previously spoken to on the issue of guns. We have opposite opinions on the issue but we also have a very good relationship. Accordingly, I feel comfortable planting a stone in his shoe from time to time.

His reaction to the story surprised even me. It was one that speaks volumes about the worldview our kids absorb every day in the secular progressive academy (The world of Leftist insanity!”—my addition). This was his word-for-word response: ‘But the squeegee people have to eat. It’s what they have to do (Right! Bank robbers have to eat! Murderers have to eat! Who doesnt have to eat? The professor must be an easy mark!—my addition).’

For those unable to decipher the remark, there are two important propositions expressed in those two sentences. Here is the rough translation:

1. Criminals are products of their environments wholly lacking in free will (Sure!—my addition).

2. Crime is not caused by criminals but is instead caused by ordinary citizens who refuse to share scarce resources with those who are less fortunate (Right!—my addition).

These two propositions pose two distinct problems for people who espouse them. They follow in no particular order of importance:

1. When we deny free will we do more than just explain away peoples bad acts.

Unfortunately, we explain away their good acts, too. If the absence of free will means that people cannot be blamed for committing a crime then it means that people cannot be praised for conformity. Nor can they be credited for major achievements such as earning a college degree or building a successful business. Remember: You didn’t build that!

2. If free will is lacking among those you seek to defend, it is also lacking among your enemies (including your political opponents).

We’ve all heard the adage that if guns were outlawed then only outlaws would have guns. Were the government to criminalize all gun ownership, gun owners could claim that their crimes were not freely chosen. Like the squeegee people, the gun owner would be a helpless automaton forced to take matters into his own hands because others refused to share scarce resources. In this case, it would be the fault of government agents who refused to share their guns with the average man on the street.

If there ever comes a day when the government bans gun ownership altogether, we really are going to have to take to the streets. I would suggest taking squirt guns and empty cups and targeting every Prius as well as every vehicle that has a COEXIST bumper sticker.

Of course, I hope that day never comes. In the meantime, maybe we should consider limiting squeegee ownership to those who work for the government (Discrimination!—my addition). After all, the constitution is silent on the issue.”

The victim mentality! It is always an outside fault! No responsibility! No accountability! Then death. Then kneeling before GOD where we will all be held personally accountable. Oops!

“Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Florida, is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following ‘Current Communist Goals,’ which she identifies as an excerpt from ‘The Naked Communist,’ by Cleon Skousen:

[From ‘The Naked Communist,’ by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
“15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.”

“24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorshipand a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as normal, natural, healthy.’

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with ‘social’ religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a ‘religious crutch.’

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of ‘separation of church and state.’

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the ‘common man.’”



This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.

1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.

2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.





If elected to Congress, I will not, under any circumstances, vote for present Speaker of the House John Boehner to be Speaker of the House. I call on every Republican primary candidate running in Texas Congressional District 19 to publicly (in writing) make the same pledge. It would not be a bad idea for every Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives to give the same pledge. See my post at http://christiangunslinger3.blogspot.com on December 16, 2013 entitled “Speaker of the House John Boehner Attacks the Tea Party Again for Being Fiscally Responsible!”



If I am elected to the House, I will use the Constitution, as written, to do everything in my power to stop judicial tyranny! Will the other candidates pledge the same? I know our present Representative has NOT done everything possible to stop judicial tyranny! Why is that?





If elected to Congress, I pledge that I will do everything within my authority as a member of the House of Representatives to begin and complete impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States for violating the Constitution, the laws of the United States as passed by Congress, and his oath of office. I call on every Republican primary candidate running in Texas Congressional District 19 to publicly (in writing) make the same pledge. It would not be a bad idea for every Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives to give the same pledge.





Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
