The Lie at the Base of Obama's Heart
If you want to know the big lie underlying Resident Obama's politics, look no further than this interview in the house organ of the Democratic National Committee, Rolling Stone.
I submit that for Obama to invoke the intrinsic worth of every individual, Lincoln, and the abolition of slavery in order to enslave every individual under socialism is obscene. But that's not the big lie.
"That view of life — as one in which we're all connected, as opposed to all isolated and looking out only for ourselves" — this is the lie at the base of Obama's heart, the false dichotomy that permits him and his Obamabots to pursue the enslavement of man to men in the name of "freedom."
The question is not whether we do things together, or are all isolated and looking out only for ourselves.
The question is whether we do things together as free, voluntarily cooperating individuals, or do things together at the point of a bureaucrat's gun.
What's more, that bureaucrat forcing us to cooperate according to his notions would in a free country be found barely competent to clean toilets. Nevertheless, he got his spot in the bureaucracy because he's a friend or donor of Obama. That's why government programs are usually boondoggles.
The question is whether we work together as free men, or as the slaves of Obama, the government, and the majority that elected those rapscallions.
You look at Abraham Lincoln: He very much believed in self-sufficiency and self-reliance. He embodied it — that you work hard and you make it, that your efforts should take you as far as your dreams can take you. But he also understood that there's some things we do better together. That we make investments in our infrastructure and railroads and canals and land-grant colleges and the National Academy of Sciences, because that provides us all with an opportunity to fulfill our potential, and we'll all be better off as a consequence. He also had a sense of deep, profound empathy, a sense of the intrinsic worth of every individual, which led him to his opposition to slavery and ultimately to signing the Emancipation Proclamation. That view of life — as one in which we're all connected, as opposed to all isolated and looking out only for ourselves — that's a view that has made America great and allowed us to stitch together a sense of national identity out of all these different immigrant groups who have come here in waves throughout our history.

Obama Snatches Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
Make my day
and vote for Romney.
Why? Why
should anyone care one way or the other?
"America
is assured her independence, mankind's cause is won, and liberty is no longer
homeless on earth." — Lafayette.
Don't let
Obama undo this. Don't let him make liberty homeless on earth again. Don't let
that socialist turn America into another European-style welfare state.
No honest
person has anything to win from socialism.
Obama tells
you he will take the money from the rich and give it to you. But the rich don't
have that much money if you divide it among 300 million people. Particularly
not if you first have to pay for multiple trillions of government waste.
You may
think that you're not rich and that you'll get a share of the spoils.
But if your
country goes down the road to socialism, if your government has bled the rich
dry and killed the engine of productivity, your government will soon turn to
you to confiscate your money to pay off those poorer than you.
Look at
Greece. Look at Cuba. Look at North Korea.
Of course,
socialism doesn't have to get that bad. Chances are that it will get stuck
somewhere in the middle of the road.
Then you
get a country like Germany, where you still have to pay the high taxes and
comply with statist regulations, but find that your government — having killed
off innovation and progress and having spent all the confiscated money on
bureaucrats and wasteful projects that the free market rightly rejected as
pointless — has no money to give you the freebies it promised.
And even
that uneasy truce, that semi-socialism, where you pay and get nothing back, can
only last if whatever productive people are left are altruistic enough to pay
the high taxes to fund the waste. It seems to work, badly, in France, Germany,
and Scandinavia.
It doesn't
work in Greece. I doubt it will work in the US.
Look at
their two respective deficits. Does it look like anybody is willing to pay for
the welfare state?
Don't go
there. It is not a nice place to be.
The only
ones that profit from the welfare state are politicians, bureaucrats, and
corrupt "businessmen." Look at Solyndra.
The needy
are better off with private charity, even though that means they will have to
say "please" and "thank you" when they want help, as they
should, instead of demanding that the non-needy be their slaves by birthright.
And no productive person has any use for a government that takes a dollar from
him to give him fifty cents back.
No honest
person has anything to win from the welfare state. Go for a standard to which
honest men can repair.
"America
is assured her independence, mankind's cause is won, and liberty is no longer
homeless on earth."
Don't sell
this for a handout you'll never get.

Your Elephant Repellent Is Inferior, Comrade Warren
"Hey, mister, you better buy a bottle of my Elephant Repellent. If you don't buy it, the elephants will come into the neighborhood and trample you! My proof that this stuff really works is that there are no elephants around here."
For "Elephant Repellent" substitute the word "government" and for "elephants" substitute the word "crime" or "Russians" or "poverty" or "chaos" or anything else the government claims to prevent.
Nothing the government claims to prevent cannot be prevented in a more humane, just, and economical manner by free associations of individual people.
In answer to Comrade Elizabeth Warren:
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own, nobody. You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear, you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for."
Potholed, congested roads. I'd have gotten better and cheaper roads by paying for them through the free market.
"You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate."
You mean, those functional illiterates government-run schools turn out?
"You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did."
Would have gotten much better service at a much a lower price from private security guards and firefighters.
Any service the government pretends to provide can be provided cheaper, better, and more humanely by the free market.
The first complaints I'd file with my security guards would be about those marauding bands that call themselves IRS, ATF, EPA, and DEA, BTW.

You Didn't Build That — Obama Means It
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.
Upon the
predictable public outrage at Resident Obama's confession of his commitment to
collectivism and communism, he backtracked, and the leftist media attempted to
whitewash him by claiming that he didn't mean "you didn't build your
business," but that he meant "you didn't build roads and
bridges," that "that" referred to "roads and bridges."
Yet, sane people pointed out that that doesn't make sense, as "roads and
bridges" are "those," not "that," and that
"that" is immediately preceded by "business," so that this
is the most logical referent.
But even if
the resident and his socialist enablers plead grammatical illiteracy, it still
doesn't make sense. If Obama meant "roads and bridges," what about
the teachers and the American system? Does it make sense to single out roads
and bridges while ignoring teachers and the whole American system?
Maybe
Comrade Obama doesn't mind neglecting the American system, but would a leftist
ever snub teachers? They pay him to roll over pork to them, after all.
Now the
resident might backtrack again and claim that "that" referred to all
of the above — teachers, the American system, and roads and bridges. However,
that wouldn't make sense, either. For he said, "you didn't build
that." You may build systems and roads and bridges, but you don't build
teachers. Schools, but not teachers.
Any way you
slice it, it's pretty clear what Obama deep down in his heart really wanted to
say. He means it, and he wants to shout it from the highest steeples — while
preserving a modicum of plausible deniability.

The Night They Drove My Business Down
This is for
you, Resident O'Bama. No, you didn't build that.
Virgil
McCain is the name, and I saved in the GM vein
Till Bama's
bankruptcy came and tore up contracts again
In the
winter of 2012, we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the
tenth, Dow Jones had fell
It's a time
I remember oh so well
The night
they drove my business down
Exchange
bells were ringing
The night
they drove my business down
And the
people were singing
They went,
"La, la, la, we live in La-La Land"
Back then
my girlfriend watched TV, when one day she called me in
"Virgil,
quick, come see, there goes Edward Saverin"
Now, I
don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
Ya take
what ya need, and ya leave the rest
But they
should never have taken the very best
The night
they drove my business down
Exchange
bells were ringing
The night
they drove my business down
And all the
people were singing
They went,
"La, la, la, we live in La-La Land"
Like my
father before me, I'm a workin' man
And like my
brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just
eighteen, proud and brave, but the ATF laid him in his grave
I swear by
the mud below my feet
You can't
raise McCain back up when he's in defeat
The night
they drove my business down
Exchange
bells were ringing
The night
they drove my business down
And all the
people were singing
They went,
"Na, na, na, you didn't build that"
The night
they drove my business down
All
exchange bells were ringing
The night
they drove my business down
And the
people were singing
They went,
"Na, na, na, you didn't build that"

Tea Party vs. Flea Party
Insanity is… this. Sigh. The fleabags need a padded cell more than they need to get maced.
So, I corrected it. I guess they can be glad I didn't grade it, too.
So, I corrected it. I guess they can be glad I didn't grade it, too.
Tea Party | Flea Party |
---|---|
(Grassroots movement) | (Astroturf) |
Most events ignored by the media, except by Fox News. | Left-leaning mainstream media cheer looters on. |
Participants revolt against the sick and poor who use need as a claim. | Participants provide free food, healthcare, and emotional support to everyone present, then claim they cannot pay their student loans and call for another round of looting. |
Anti-union, anti-moocher, anti-looter, anti-government, anti-Obama ("racist"); I grant you bigoted and xenophobic — the fundies insisted on tagging along. | Strives for inclusion and participation of every moocher, looter, and rotter in the world, but xenophobic when "American" jobs are "exported," as if America or any country collectively owned jobs. |
Funded by the Koch brothers. Avoids leaders — decisions made by the market, i.e., by the people who worked for their money. | Funded by Buffett and Soros. Decisions based on consensus imposed by Ivy Starnes and her comrades. |
People show up with "assault rifles," shout and spit at members of congress (boy, do they deserve it), and the police take no notice. Why should they? | People show up committed to looting and violent overthrow of capitalism, and get maced and beaten by the police, as they deserve. |
THIS IS WHAT LIBERTY LOOKS LIKE. DON'T TREAD ON ME! | THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. THIS IS WHY THE FOUNDING FATHERS EXPLICITLY REJECTED DEMOCRACY. |
Benefits the 53%. | Benefits the 47%. |

Those Racist Republicans
Cain's numbers are sky-high among Republican primary voters. Fifty-two percent view him favorably, versus just 6 percent who see him unfavorably. Among Tea Party supporters, his favorable/unfavorable score is 69 percent to 5 percent. And among Republicans who identify themselves as "very conservative," it's 72 percent to 2 percent.
Only 2% of very conservative Republicans and 5% of Tea Partiers view Herman Cain, a black man in case you haven't noticed, unfavorably. Yet anybody who disagrees with Obama and his communism is a racist. GO(P) figure.

Meet Ellis Wyatt
Ellis Wyatt went to Washington, met Mr. Thompson; it didn't work. Anyone surprised?
Harold Hamm, the Oklahoma-based founder and CEO of Continental Resources, the 14th-largest oil company in America, is a man who thinks big. He came to Washington last month to spread a needed message of economic optimism: With the right set of national energy policies, the United States could be "completely energy independent by the end of the decade. We can be the Saudi Arabia of oil and natural gas in the 21st century."
…
The other reason for America's abundant supply of oil and natural gas has been the development of new drilling techniques. "Horizontal drilling" allows rigs to reach two miles into the ground and then spread horizontally by thousands of feet. Mr. Hamm was one of the pioneers of this method in the 1990s, and it has done for the oil industry what hydraulic fracturing has done for natural gas drilling in places like the Marcellus Shale in the Northeast.

Obama Torched London
Obama said he wanted to "spread the wealth around."
The London looters say they're redistributing property.
As long as socialist politicians claim they have the right to redistribute property, freelance looters will take that "right" into their own hands every time government loses control.
Are you happy now, Barry?

Unselfish People Are Most Selfish
Today it struck me that of all the people I have met, the unselfish ones are the most selfish. (In the traditional sense, not Ayn Rand's reframe.)
It's the most "liberal," left-wing, avowedly meek and tolerant moon bats, unselfish by their own accounts and only out to help others, that are most intolerant (of everything but left-wing stuff), opinionated, pushy, arrogant, touchy, resentful of criticism, entitlement-minded, greedy (for donations and tax money for their pet causes), and the first to call for a law that attempts to exterminate any of their pet peeves with psychotic violence. The same is true, to a lesser degree, of the wing nuts and Jesus freaks. (Maybe it seems to me to be to a lesser degree just because I never go to Utah or Mississippi and slum with the hardcore Jesus freaks.)
It's the people that in your face are warmest, friendliest, kindest, and most mild-mannered that will explode into a fireball of rage once you scratch the surface and question the beliefs they take for granted and regard as universal. Let's call it the Mother Theresa syndrome, after the bitch that believed that for helping those who were dying in agony find Jesus (instead of giving them medicine) she was entitled to free flights, at the expense of airlines.
It's not so much the objectivists (except for Rand herself) that defriend people for disagreeing with them. It's the moon bats, and to a lesser degree, the wing nuts. And while the objectivists / Rand fans I know can be jerks, just as Randians reputedly are, they pale in comparison with the moon bats.
True, there is quite some repudiating going on, but that's nothing against what happens if you question the principles of a liberal. And it's not because my opinions are closer to objectivists and libertarians than to moon bats and wing nuts. I've fought with all of them, and it takes much less to provoke a more psychotic reaction from a moon bat than from a libertarian.
I'd say I'm selfish (in the Randian sense of caring mostly about my own affairs), and that entails some of the above qualities commonly considered negative, like arrogant, opinionated, intolerant (of intolerance), greedy, etc. But compared with the unselfish people, I'm Gandhi (as are most objectivists and libertarians).
So while selfishness in the Randian sense can turn someone into a major jerk, that's nothing against the unselfishness of the moon bats. Given that observation, it's little wonder that the state is so ready to threaten and use lethal force to "protect people from themselves." The unselfish, the moon bats and the wing nuts, make sure of that by voting the way they do, for fascists like Obama and the shrub. Unselfishness is preached as a virtue, and observe the results.
And no matter how controversial Rand's reframe of "selfishness" is, she was right. Unselfish people are indeed no good.
The unselfish may be saccharinely friendly in your face (at first), give to the poor, and volunteer for the community, but if you disagree with their socialism and/or Jesus crap, at best you're dead to them, and at worst they call for a law to send you to a concentration camp. In fact, I think I can formulate that as a general rule: If someone I meet is unbearably saccharine, chances are she will explode into a fit of psychotic rage the first time I disagree with her.
This rule can be expanded beyond moon bats and wing nuts to include all second-handers, even libertarian ones. As a second-hander bases her self-respect on the number of her friends instead of on her own achievements, she will try to ingratiate herself with everyone she meets. But if her second-hander beliefs are questioned or once she is frustrated by the unworkability of second-handedness, she will react with all the negative qualities that are stereotypically associated with the straw man of the selfish person, although a truly selfish person has much less of them than an unselfish person.
The meek shall destroy the world. It makes sense: As there is no way their delusions can be defended rationally, flight and psychotic violence are their only weapons in an argument.
Objectivists, compared with the moon bats and wing nuts, you are gold! (You may want to copy and paste and treasure this one, as I'm not going to say that often.)

Trump: A Is Non-A
With Fox Mulder nailed to his scalp, Donald Trump obviously forgot all about the law of identity, if he ever knew it.
Make no mistake, Trump lied. He said he was the developer when he wasn't, which is proven by the disclaimers in the contracts.
He guaranteed these projects to his customers with his name, which to them stood for quality, and now he claims the disclaimer nullified that guarantee. It is an interesting legal and moral question whether you can make an oral guarantee and then simply go, "April fool!" and revoke it in the written contract. No matter what the courts decide, however, morally speaking, Trump should indemnify his victims at least to the amount that he profited from the deals where they lost.
Instead, The Donald cynically claims that, due to the crash of property values, his victims would have lost even more on the apartments if the developments had gone forward. This is completely immaterial.
After all, if his victims had made a killing with the apartments, he would have claimed it as being due to his "genius." Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.
If his victims had turned a profit, Trump would have taken all the credit for that. Now that they have lost money through him, he blames it on the market.
This kind of deception constitutes a worrisome trend I've seen growing worse over the last couple years. Marketing materials claim that a service is exceptionally A, only for the contract to painstakingly insist that the service provided is not to be considered A in any way, shape, or form.
Don't ever believe anything you see in an ad. All ads lie. (Except for my book ads on the right, of course.)
Read the contract. Read the fine print. That's where the truth is out there.
Trust no one. White-collar criminals will go through all the motions to appear legitimate and respectable to you. You can't go by appearances. Read the fine print, or you will be defrauded.
And no one has anything to give away. If it sounds too good to be true, it very likely is too good to be true. Stay the fuck away.
No, you don't need the government to protect you, even if you're not a Randian hero. In the fine print, there will be a very clear disclaimer saying that the service advertised as A is not in fact A and that you can lose all your money. If you read such a disclaimer, run like hell.
It's in fact those white-collar criminals that clamor to be regulated by the government, so they can advertise the fact that they're regulated. But all the government regulation in the world doesn't help you none if you sign a contract where you waive your right to receive the service you paid for. And once you sue them for deceptive advertising or the like, they're already in Brazil with your money.
"Trump. Owning here is just the beginning." What a threat. Do you really want to own a property that's infested with Foxes Mulder?
The sad thing is that even an unethical businessman like Trump would be a betterpresident village idiot than Obama or the shrub. At least Trump can run a multi-billion-dollar business, give or take a bankruptcy or two, and not just commie unity organize. (*Wince.* Read: At least Trump knows how to successfully separate people from their money.)
Trump's borderline fraud is chicken shit against Obama defrauding auto company bondholders and thereby revealing that the village idiot has no clothes and that the "rule of law" was a myth all along. And at least Trump knows there's no such thing as "shovel-ready projects."
What's Trump's conduct compared with social security, the largest Ponzi scheme in history? What's losing a deposit compared with income tax?
Trump for president. A skyscraper on every corner. A dead cat on every head.
I mean that sincerely. No joke.
Well, a sad joke. Or rather, sad, but no joke. Or a joke, but not as sad or as big a joke as Obama.
At least things will not get boring with The Donald as village idiot. And you can make fun of him without the moon bats automatically bestowing the title "racist" on you.
Trump says that when he's elected village idiot, the world will no longer laugh at America. True. The world will be busy laughing at Trump.
Over the last few years, according to interviews and hundreds of pages of court documents, the real estate mogul has aggressively marketed several luxury high-rises as "Trump properties" or "signature Trump" buildings, with names like Trump Tower and Trump International — even making appearances at the properties to woo buyers. The strong indication of his involvement as a developer generated waves of media attention and commanded premium prices.
But when three of the planned buildings encountered financial trouble, it became clear that Mr. Trump had essentially rented his name to the developments and had no responsibility for their outcomes, according to buyers. In each case, he yanked his name off the projects, which were never completed. The buyers lost millions of dollars in deposits even as Mr. Trump pocketed hefty license fees.
Those who bought the apartments in part because of the Trump name were livid, saying they felt a profound sense of betrayal, and more than 300 of them are now suing Mr. Trump or his company.
"The last thing you ever expect is that somebody you revere will mislead you," said Alex Davis, 38, who bought a $500,000 unit in Trump International Hotel and Tower Fort Lauderdale, a waterfront property that Mr. Trump described in marketing materials as "my latest development" and compared to the Trump tower on Central Park in Manhattan.
…
"There was no disclaimer that he was not the developer," Mr. Davis said.
…
Alan Garten, a lawyer for Mr. Trump's company, said that, regardless of what Mr. Trump himself or any marketing materials had suggested, his role was disclosed in lengthy purchasing documents that buyers should have carefully scrutinized.
Make no mistake, Trump lied. He said he was the developer when he wasn't, which is proven by the disclaimers in the contracts.
He guaranteed these projects to his customers with his name, which to them stood for quality, and now he claims the disclaimer nullified that guarantee.

Dead Foxes Are a Little Bit Racist, Too!
Donald Trump shows off his newfound presidentiality by proving that he's not racist. You probably noticed long ago that The Donald doesn't exactly have the gift of the gab.
This, of course, does not follow. Even if "Randal Pinkett won on The Apprentice" did prove that Trump is not racist, how does it prove that there are no less racist persons than Mr. Cathead?
And not only is it illogical, it sounds stupid, too. "So I am the least racist person." Just about like a kindergarten kid or a total retard (a racist word, or just politically incorrect?) would defend himself. I've known a total retard who used to defend himself exactly like this.
In fact, his logic and language sound a lot like Sarah Palin.
Here's what Mr. Dead Fox should have said upon being called out for his racism:
And of course, I'm a little bit racist, too. Or in other words, gentlemen prefer blondes.
When it comes to racism and racists, I am the least racist person there is. And I think most people that know me would tell you that. I am the least racist. I've had great relationships.
…
In fact, Randal Pinkett won on The Apprentice a little while ago, a couple years ago, and Randal's been outstanding in every way. So I am the least racist person.
This, of course, does not follow. Even if "Randal Pinkett won on The Apprentice" did prove that Trump is not racist, how does it prove that there are no less racist persons than Mr. Cathead?

Pics or Osama Ain't Dead
Carney also said the photograph of bin Laden dead is "gruesome" and "it could be inflammatory" if released.
The White House is mulling whether to make the photo public, but he said officials are concerned about the "sensitivity" of doing so. Carney said there is a discussion internally about the most appropriate way to handle the photo, but "there is not some roiling debate here about this."
Asked if President Barack Obama is involved in the photo discussion, Carney said the president was involved in every aspect of this issue.
I'd like to credit the Obama with executing the other O*ama, but for that the former will have to satisfy my standard of evidence that Osama bin Laden is in fact dead. If there are photos of Osama dead and videos of Osama's death and dumping, I want see them. Sure, they could be faked just like anything could be faked, just like the other O*ama's birth certificate could be faked, but that's my standard of evidence here. Pics or it didn't happen.
Dumping the body into the sea, if there ever was a body in the first place, was a real stupid thing to do, particularly if you're the favorite target of the conspiracy theorists already. It's like a call for tenders to conspiracy theorists. So pics or it didn't happen.
Come on, you can do this, you big wuss. You did it with your birth certificate, after all. If you did in fact have Osama executed, I will credit you with having bigger cojones than the shrub has. But pics or it didn't happen.

Yet Another Reason Obama's Gotta Go
In 2009 a Washington state high school teacher called for the removal of the novel from a school curriculum. The teacher, John Foley, called for replacing The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with a more modern novel. In an opinion column that Foley wrote in the Seattle Post Intelligencer, he states that all "novels that use the 'N-word' repeatedly need to go." He states that teaching the novel is not only unnecessary, but difficult due to the offensive language within the novel with many students becoming uncomfortable at "just hear[ing] the N-word." He views this change as "common sense," with Obama's election into office as a sign that Americans "are ready for a change," and that by removing these books from the reading lists, they would be following this change.
If you have to choose between Huckleberry Finn and Obama, is that even a question? I mean, it's a no-brainer (as in, if you choose Obama, you've got no brain).
If many students become uncomfortable at just hearing the word nigger, they've got an awfully bad teacher. Making kids believe that there are evil words teaches them nothing about rights or about the fact that people have equal rights irrespective of their looks.
It only teaches kids that there are words they must not use, or even just think of, and that those happen to be the words that the black person that occupies the White House probably doesn't like. Big Barrack is watching you.
