Eviloution is a Communist Plot

It is a plot to Destroy Americans' belief in God. And when you follow down the slope (which may or may not be slippery) to Destroy America.

A clear piece of evidence emerged when The Chinese Communists concocted this latest piece of eviloution propaganda:

Scientists in China finds major dinosaur site.

However, the commies were quite, quite sloppy and some tidbits, which reveal this to be a fraud, can be found in the Commie's lackey media outlet the BBC:

The researchers, from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, say they have unearthed 7600 dinosaur bones since March in Shandong province. Hmmm, since March you say? Obviously the Commies have been making fake bones, sticking them in the ground and uncovering them after aging them.

Detailed information on the fossil find is not expected to be published in scientific journals until later in 2009. And why? Because the clear falsity of the dinosaur plaster molds would be uncovered by William Demski or Denise O'Leary.

The scientists hope the find will help to explain why the creatures died out. Well, that can be explained very easily. World Wide Flood killed all the Behemoth(s) of the bible.

I can only hope as we delve into the Year of the Darwin (sounds strangely like the way the Chinese Communists use their calendar the year of this or that...) that Eviloution will be destroyed and children in all levels of schooling in America will be able to respond to every question with the ontological answer: God did It.

Vote Republican choose Slavery.

The Republican Party wants to reduce the American people into abject economic slavery and make Americans fight with the Vietnamese, Indians, and Mexicans for wages.

Destroying economic opportunities and turning Americans into rigidly controlled Wage Slaves has been the whole goal of Reagan and his worshippers (the Republican Party).

The gradual transformation of a rigidly organized hierarchic system into one where men could at least attempt to shape their own life, where man gained the opportunity of knowing and choosing between different forms of life, is closely associated with the growth of commerce. ~ F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom, pg. 18

This is exactly what the Republican Party is now trying to destroy.

To accomplish this the Republican Party has supported a program of Outsourcing and Insourcing labor. Allow a flood of illegals to rush across our border undercutting wages here. How often have you heard the Republicans claim they do jobs Americans don't want to do? For instance, pick lettuce for $50 and hour for a whole season. It's a lie. Illegals in this country work and live like dogs, often 6-8 men, without their families, living in a run-down trailer working for minimum wage or less.

This is the goal of the Republican Party, make Americans have to fight here and scamper abroad as illegal immigrants fighting for minimum wage jobs.

Additionally, the Republican Party has worked tiresly to allow Socialist Nations to flood the American market with State-sponsred products.

The Republican Party did this with cheap foreign steel destroying the Steel Industry in the 1970's.
The Republican Party did this to Textile and Clothing manufactures. When was the last time you put on a dress shirt or pair of sneakers which was made in the United States?
The Republican Party did this with Agricultural food stuffs allowing the Chinese to kill Americans' pets with poisoned Wheat Gluten.

Now they are trying to do this with the Auto Industry. Invite Foreign manufacturers into America with tax incentives (Republican Richard Shelby gave Mercedes -Benz $253 Million USC, Honda $158 Million USC and Hyundai $234 Million USC) and destroy the UAW which fought for good wages and didn't vote for the Republican Party.

Shipping every industry possible out of the United States and destroying the manufacturing base, will destroy the middle class.

And the final goal for the Republican Party is to transfer land and wealth to the small cadre of Feudal Dictators in Government, Military, Banking and Industry (Often referred to as the Base (Al Qaeda), and thus, having eliminated the middle class, Americans will be reduced to the status of serfs and slaves; who will work hard in their youth and will then be discarded when they get old, sick or injured.

Of course, this will only be possible with the domestic hounds of Blackwater and the increasingly paramilitary police forces enforcing the rules decided by our Feudal Lords keeping the slaves in line through a state-sponsored legal system designed to keep them in line. And through Conservative Talk Radio designed to flood their neurons day after day with news of the greatness of the Republican Party. For instance, She Who Shall Not Be Named 2 thinks Republicans should sue to stop the Bailout of the US Auto Industry.

And as a mouth of Republican Party, she is fulfilling her task of convincing Americans to accept their Slavery at the hands of the Republican Party.

The Iraqi Government Sure Learned Quickly

Invent fake Coup Attempts so Nouri al-Maliki can minimize his political opponents and remove from power those appointed by former CIA pick Ayad Allawi, whom he has little control over. Now what other Iraqi Leader would have used tactics such as this?

Is the fruit of our Victory in Iraq Day?

"It is a big lie. The public must understand this," Interior Minister Jawad Bolani, "It was clearly motivated by politics and was not related to security."

Republican Hatred for the Individual

Do I Hate You? Do I Hate You? Yes
Do I Hate You and Placate You? Ohh ~ H8Red Anthrax

This might as well be the lyrics for the Republican Party, because they clearly hate the individual and want them to die an early death after having squeezed every ounce of labor from them.

I thought the Republicans wanted people to earn as much as possible, I thought they were the party of the individual. Isn't that what they've been telling people for years? We want you to keep as much of your money as possible. Well it's obviously bullshit.

The Republicans so-called principled stand against the bad business model of Detroit has been shown to be a lie with the recent news Toyota is going to run a loss of $1.7 Billion USC this year.

The real reason the Republican Party lead the charge against the UAW and the US Auto Industry is because they represent a small cadre of plutocratic elites who wish to re-instate a feudal dictatorship in America in which the rarified 1% control the majority of wealth and ensure no one else earns a living wage.

To Republicans the people of this nation are cogs for the gears of industry or war to be used up and worked to death so they can't retire as useless eaters, draining the coffers of the state from which the Republicans enrich themselves.

This is why the Republican party is committed to destroying the middle class. Because a middle class exercises political power and votes against being squeezed and worked to death by the Republican Feudal Overlords.

David S. Chu stated benefits to wounded veterans and retirees, "are taking away from the nation's ability to defend itself." Meaning stop spending money on soldiers who can't be sent to fight and gain money for Republicans.

The son of auto executive, not a filthy line worker, Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney wants Detroit to go bankrupt and millions lose their jobs and benefits. That way the poor will have to take whatever wage he and his Kleptocratic friends deem them worthy of, which is just enough to ensure they work themselves to death before the age 67. Romney even cites the Toyota Avalon being superior to Detroit autos. The same Toyota which is losing $1.7 Billions USC this year.

Conservative bloggers strive for the deaths of workers. Confederate Yankee offers this insight seemingly taken from Romney's Op-Ed:

"What separates the successful companies that aren't asking for a bailout from the leaches grubbing for tax dollars from your already empty wallet? Greedy, bloated, self-serving and uncompetitive union labor, particularly the United Auto Workers (UAW). Non-union car factories are cranking out the smaller, higher-quality, more fuel efficient fleets that America wants to buy, while the unionized Big Three are cranking out bloated beasts that carry and estimated $2,000 of overhead per vehicle because of concessions the automakers have made the unions over the years in noncompetitive benefits and pensions."

Of course, he's not satisfied with just crushing the UAW,

"For that matter, much of the manufacturing in this country doesn't deserve to live, particularly that created with non-competitive union labor so prevalent in the Northeast and upper Midwest."

You see we need to reduce workers to the status of wage slaves as we find in Vietnam or Nigeria, receiving whatever their feudal lords deem them worthy of earning, i.e. just enough to live; while using up their youth and discarding the workers as worthless when they get old, sick or injured. (Sadly, No has an excellent dissection of Confederate Yankee's H8Red of the plebeians)

Republican Richard Shelby, who spent more than $1 Billion USC in taxpayer money to lure in foreign auto manufactures to Alabama doesn't want taxpayer money to help domestic auto manufactures. Why? Because Republicans want to destroy the political power of workers in the US to reduce them to the status of workers in Indonesia.

And the mouthpiece of the Republican party Rush Limbaugh clearly stated how dare the individual not work until his death. Limbaugh "You're not supposed to retire when you're 55. You sound to me like you are totally capable of still working." (From Crooks and Liars 11/19/08)

And to point out the irony of Republicans working for the Death of Individuals, Pat Buchanan points out while Shelby and other Republicans are trying to destroy Detroit and impoverish individuals, General Motors didn't bomb Pearl Harbor, Mitsubishi did. So Republicans support companies that directly killed American Troops.

Atheists are trying to Undermine Civility and Undermine Peace

So says She Who Shall Not Be Named 2.

While Gretchen Carlson is Outraged, she has "christmas Wars fatigue" although she is upset because atheists are Internet trolls. She can't even admit theft is wrong though she does advise the faithful not to steal. She even resorts to the "Some of My Best Friends are..." before blaming atheists for destroying America.

Rawstory has pulled the video with Carlson and She Who Shall Not Be Named 2.

Interestingly, She Who Shall Not Be Named 2 admits she doesn't blog about Atheists on her website because she doesn't want to give them attention. I think it's because she doesn't want to get her site swamped with the rabid wing of republican party which has thrown reason out the door to embrace the Sarah Palin loving Young Earther Evolution denying non-critical thinking christian dominionist sect.

Illinois Get To know Your Laws 1

With the recent financial implosion and the realization that the US system is designed to benefit the elite at the expense of the masses, Privatize the Profits, Socialize the Losses here's an Illinois Law readers should know.

From the Illinois Complied Legal Statutes:

(720 ILCS 300) Derogatory Statements About Banks Act.

Any person who shall willfully and maliciously make statements... which is derogatory to the financial condition of... any corporation doing a banking or trust business in this State... shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor: However, the truth of said statement, established by the maker thereof, shall be a complete defense in any prosecution under the provisions of this Act.

Follow the link to read the full legal jargon, which includes the elements of the offense and the manner in which a person can commit the offense, but here is the defense again: However, the truth of said statement, established by the maker thereof, shall be a complete defense in any prosecution under the provisions of this Act.

...the truth shall set you free...

So, when you point out tax payers are funding the bonuses given to anti-american communist executives and bankers of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and others who facilitated the necessity of the TARP Bailout by their corruption, greed and avarice you are innocent of the charge and free of prosecution.

The Worst Crime (the Shoe Thing)

Every Nation-State makes the removal of the Government the Worst Crime. Even being charged meant imprisonment, conviction meant a slow tortured death. The brutal case of Damiens in 1757 being one of the best recorded. In the United States, even threatening the life of the President (or those in the Succession) can lead to a fine and a maximum imprisonment of 5 years.

This is good, a civil society can not abide having people going around issuing or proclaiming death threats to anyone.

But... But, removing a nation's Government and killing it's citizens is exactly what happens during war. Individuals under the direction of Tipsy Canoe accomplished the removal and deaths of members of the Iraqi government, including the "elected leader". Along the way, innocent individuals were killed.

Usually the venerable Just War Theory is raised, but with Iraq a strange heresy was created by Dick Cheney when he morphed the Just War Theory into his 1% Doctrine - supposedly if there is a 1% chance of a threat facing the United States, military action is called for - which according to Ron Suskind became the foundation for invasion of Iraq.

So the Smoking Gun/Mushroom Cloud Raison d'etre was invoked. And Iraq was invaded sans War being declared.

Why is the overthrow of a government, not to mention the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people, acceptable when a government claims it is, but unacceptable for the individual?

But, to answer my own rhetorical question, Governments, including the vaunted US one, grant themselves an exclusive Monopoly on the Use of Force. Allowing themselves the ability to circumvent laws at their whim. Occasionally this backfires and the pawns of that government rise up, but the US has little fear of that because it has evolved the greatest System of Controlling it's citizens seen in the history of the world.

The idea the State should be the sole arbiter and controller of force is very old but was given a political-philosophical coating by Thomas Hobbes in Levithan. Hobbes describes the creation of the Sovereign to whom and from whom all rights and powers derive. Bush, Cheney clearly hold to the Hobbesian view of the Sovereign. According to Hobbes, once placed in power the Sovereign can do no wrong and can commit no crime, nor can he commit an injustice. His actions can not injure his subjects because what is good for the Sovereign is good for the people.

This is evidenced by Bob Woodward's assertion Bush told him, "I'm the commander – see, I don't need to explain – I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." ~ Bush at War

So, who cares how many American subjects died when they did have to die? Who cares if the subjects don't like the Iraq Occupation? So what if Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq until the US invaded? Who cares about Illegal Wiretapping? Who cares about Signing Statements? So what if we do Torture? So what if the Sovereign lies? These actions are taken in defense of the Leviathan and as such the actions of the Sovereign are by axiom not illegal.

But, of course, real world actions have real world consequences. And while Ole Tipsy Canoe may believe his lies and is on a whirlwind tour to claim he kept America safe, including saving the largest "skyscaper" in Los Angeles. So, while excepting that whole 9/11 thing and the Amerithrax attacks others, especially those in the ravaged country of Iraq, seem to have a dimmer view, hence the Shoe-Throwing Attack. And Bush's clear ignorance is on display when he states, "I don't know what the guy's cause is..."

The bigger problem than Bush is the mess he leaves us with. Tipsy Canoe has allowed The United States to inherit the role of the Latter Roman Republic in Mesopotamia. Ahmed Chalabi used the US the way the Satraps and Deposed Princes of the fragmented Seleucid Empire called upon the military might of Rome to gain the throne. Of course, after civil war and repeated invasions by the Armenians and Parthians and Ptolemaic Egypt, Rome eventually took direct control of the Middle East. The results of the Roman entanglement in the Middle East (the creation of christianity and the unfortunate rise of islam) are the building blocks for the problems still facing the world today.

Despite all his crying Bush's actions have really only managed to "keep us safe" from prosperity, worldwide respect, and medical advances. But as the Sovereign, he views himself as absolved or rightly above and beyond punishment for crimes, which if perpetrated by an individual, would result in a sentence far worse than having two shoes thrown at them.

The Iraq War, an analogy

But he had been so much hurt that something inside him had perished, some of his feeling had gone. There was a blank of insentience. ~ Lady Chatterley's Lover, D.H. Lawrence

Picture your neighborhood, a bit dry, somewhat wealthy, nice large brick homes 3 car garages, 5+ baths, hardwood floors, ceramic tile and granite countertops dominate. Down the street is a nice home which over the years has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Police are always coming around because the father is decidedly not a nice man, he constantly beats his wife and multiple children. There is even a very credible rumor he is keeping illegal substances in the home. He became involved in a property dispute with his neighbor which resulted in a lot of damage and injuries between the two families. And a family member who fled the home stated the father purposely killed one of his children.

You as a righteous person. You support the decision to have the Police use force enter into the home, in order to end the father's multiple crimes. The father is captured and imprisoned awaiting his trial. Unfortunately, during the raid one child is killed, another seriously injured and one of the officers dies. But the man is captured, the wife and other children are free of him. Expectations are they will be able to live a happy life, free of the tyranny of the father.

But, then, instead of leaving, you learn, the surrounding neighborhood is beset with drug dealers, pimps and murderers. The Chief of the Police decides to have the Police stay and set the house up as a trap, using it to lure drug dealers, users and other unsavory characters to the house in order to rid the neighborhood of them and end their crimes and violence.

The vast majority of the Police are noble upstanding people. But, they are put in a very difficult situation. The family wants them to leave, one of the sons attacks an officer one day and kills him, the Police in defending their lives kill the son. Additionally, the Drug Dealers who sneak into the house engage in multiple short gun battles with the Police. The wife is wounded and two of her daughters are killed in the crossfire because the Dealers use them as shields.

The Police find they are becoming hated by the family while defending themselves and actively killing the murderous scum who have been drawn to the house.

Many of the rooms of the house became damaged. The Village Board decides to rebuild them but use substandard materials and shoddy contractors for the work, resulting in the money allocated being basically lost. It also turns out the food and water supplied to the Officers on duty in the house is contaminated and the injured Officers end up not being taken care of when the leave the home at the end of their shifts.

The Village budget is severely compromised by the escalating spending needed to sustain the open-ended "crime" fighting measures. And none of the Board members is brave enough to stop the excursion because some citizens call them Weak on Crime.

Eventually after several long years and the deaths of many innocents and Officers, crime begins to subside. But, the citizens of the Village learn it's because the Chief of Police and Village Board decide to pay the criminals money to stop attacking the Officers. The Chief of Police retires, leaving the incoming Chief the task of what to do...

Site Note

Like me this blog is a collection of some kick ass completed ideas and partially started, never got around to finishing half ass ideas. I'm going to make an effort to finish some of them in the final couple of weeks before the new year.

When I get around to it...

Global Warming

"You fool look around, the planet's destroying itself!" - William Shatner
"I know! Exhilarating isn't it?" - Christopher Lloyd
~ Star Trek III

Global Warming, as the result of man's actions, is not proved Science. However, like so many issues, the environment has been captured by political partisans and turned into an all or nothing litmus tests. Either you are a sycophantic Al Gore butt kisser or you must allow coal plants to directly pump smoke from their plants into day care centers.

The recent push has been Clean Coal Campaign. I know there are several types of coal and each grade of coal has differing qualities, minute contents and burns differently. I also know the cause of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis (the infamous Black Lung Disease) isn't at all mysterious.

I think coal can be used but I'm conflicted because I know from reading and official statements many of those who fervently deny Global Warming also just as fervently deny Evolution and seem to be against any sort of regulation on air, water and ground pollution. And this leads to things of which I am not conflicted, say when British Petroleum successfully lobbies the State Government of Indiana to poison people by continuing to dump Mercury directly into Lake Michigan.

Mercury is toxic, people including Chicagoans drink water from Lake Michigan, people eat fish from the Lake. It is unacceptable for such direct poisoning of people to continue merely because a few grubby dollars have been thrust into the right hands.

Also, the quite ridiculous and now extinct Clean Coal Carolers didn't add anything constructive to the debate and fortunately superwoman Rachel Maddow corrected described what Frosty the Coal Lump really was:

"But what strikes me is that this is a PR technique that is aimed at the American consumer. This is broadly trying to make Americans like the idea of coal and feel cuddly about it." (From the Rachel Maddow Show 12/11/08).

What needs to be done is those wedded to the Right/Left divide need to expunge the fanatics and come together in attempt to dispassionately study the issue and come to some unbiased conclusions. Of course this will never happen and we'll be left with:

"If we don't help each other, we'll die here!" - William Shatner
"Perfect. Then That's the way it shall be." - Christopher LLoyd
~ Star Trek III

Blogs 4 Blago

So, Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) is quite the corrupt politician. The recent (legally obtained) wiretaps reveal him to be a profane, narcissistic, and spiteful man. The criminal complaint included the following quotes:
- "if you feel like you can do this and not fucking give me anything, then I'll fucking go."
- "motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.”

Of course, those sites which determined Obama is the spawn of the tri-headed Beast of Satan, Hitler and Bin Laden want to connect Blago to Obama.

But... but... Blago is a Democrat therefore I am obliged to defend him, and make excuses and point out all the corrupt Republicans in high office including but not limited to: Senator Ted Stevens, Norm Coleman, Representaives Tom DeLay, Duke Cunningham, Dennis Hastert, Governors George Ryan, Matt Blunt and, of course, Bush and Cheney.

Except no. Politicians at high levels of Government are corrupted by the offices they seek. It's the nature of politics. The power, influence and money end up destroying even the rare high-minded and strongly grounded who seek office. And those who play loose and fast with rules and ethics (Bush) end up wallowing in a mire of slime from which the nation is struggling to recover.

Blago being a Democrat is not the problem, Blago being a "Chicago-style" politician is not the problem Blago being an unethical, vulgar human being with the power of the State, with which to wield, is the problem.

We are All Secular Fascists Now!

I would never take anyway and adults religious beliefs. Of course, I think, the real reason many adults are religious is because when they were children they were indoctrinated and browbeaten into believing a certain fairy tale (dependent upon where and when they live on Earth).

But, an interesting thing has happened of late. Atheists are no longer quiet about their non-belief. The reaction has been predictable. Religious believers have had their way and freedom from questions concerning unsubstantiated and unverifiable claims for so long, many have lost the methodology of proving faith through contemplation and dialectic. To paraphrase Robert M. Pirsig in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, They don't understand from where the shot has come. They've never confronted a living Atheist. Only dead ones.

The latest recent flare up was the placing of a sign by the Freedom From Religion Foundation in the Washington State Capitol building, and recently in Springfield Illinois. The sign displayed the following message:

At this season of the Winter Solstice, may reason prevail.
There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell.
There is only our natural world.
Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.

This has caused a backlash, as the religious have organized protests against the sign. This is fantastic. The proper way for ideas to grow or die is through reason, discourse and the competeion of ideas in the free marketplace of ideas. Except to Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Donahue, Ken Ham and others who want such godless ideas stopped through government action.

Bill O'Reilly wants Governor Gregorie hounded for allowing the sign. And stated; “She is a weak and confused leader who allows a fanatical group parody in Christmas displays. I mean, how crazy is this?” Bill-O also declared Gregorie "insulted Christians all over the world".

According to Newt Gingrich the declaration of atheists ideas fits into his worldview that there is Secular Fascism in America today. As far as I know there have been no atheist murders of religious believers based on their hatred of said believers faith. Nor have there been church or temple bombings done by the godless. No Night of the Long Atheist Knives, no rounding up and internment of believers in camps, no confiscation of believers belongings to benefit the State.

But, for clarification Newt Gingrich believes the following: Free Speech=Fascism.

Bill Donohue declared on Fox & Friends the Washington State Capital sign is Hate Speech. (From Atheist Media Blog). I'm sure Bill Donohue would like to know that his characterization of criticism of religion is hate speech is exactly the same idea espoused by the government of Saudi Arabia, which is attempting to get the United Nations to ban all criticism of religion (mainly islam).

I just can't wait for the Righteous to disavow their attachment to that Secular Progressive ultimate Religious betrayer president George W. Bush who, when asked if the bible is literally true, declared: "You know. Probably not. ... No, I'm not a literalist..." (From Crooks and Liars).

The judeo-christian-islamo god most assuredly does not exist. Religion is about control and power.

It Seems Slightly Disingenious

to rally the forces of Small Fiscally Responsible Government to Champion the Downfall of the US Automakers over a sum between 15-34 billion after having allowed 1 Trillion or more to be allocated to save everybody else. But then those monies were used to help the Bankers not the evil evil Union of Auto Workers.

And the Bush Regime could always defiantly tell those Socialists at the Big 3 and their commie Union their bailout monies were "lost" in Iraq. But I suppose the 23 Billion is a paltry sum when compared to the 3 Trillion dollars Bush has managed to funnel to those who profit on Death, Destruction and Mayhem.

Rush Limbaugh explicitly and unequivocally states Barack Obama is causing the recession to continue in order to strengthen himself politically. There was a day when White House spokesmen warned Americans to watch what they say and segments wedded to the Left/Right divide claimed any criticism of the president in a time of War was tantamount to being the anal sex slaves of Al Qaeda.

Rush Limbuagh is not alone. Karl Rove (Paragon of Troof) and Bill O'Reilly both claim there is a sinister plot to keep the economy down in order to aid Obama.

Whomever is in charge you are the chattel of government. In the pursuit of National Interests, sometimes they take your money, sometimes your life and sometimes they take the monies and lives of your children.

Victory in Iraq (again)

The Declarations of Victory in Iraq have emerged from bloggers, Organizations such as the College Republicans and from noted Accurate-tician Bill Kristol, "we've won the war".

Zombie Times declared 11/22/08, in solidarity with others, as Victory in Iraq Day (VI Day). The College Republicans want the following answered: Now, the only question is will President Obama purposefully force defeat on our troops in Iraq, or will he let our military finish the job?

The obtuse attempts at connecting the Iraq War with World War II continue. The Iraq Invasion and Occupation are not WWII or Vietnam but mainly analogous, as I've often posted, to the small wars of the 19th century and America's involvement in the Philippines.

And all the protestations of victory in Iraq on 11/22/08 have not stopped guys from dying. Nor does the fallacious analogy that more Americans died in Chicago than Iraq, hold up to scrutiny. Cook County has over 5 million residents, roughly 180,000 Americans are in Iraq so the sample sizes are quite different.

The reasons those in their comfortable homes in the States are declaring victory in Iraq is two-fold. The smaller part is an attempt to salvage for Bush something other than absolute ridicule for all time, the larger part is to use Iraq against Obama. By declaring Victory (again) the set-up has been made to blame him if Iraq were to fall into fractional fighting, which is almost assured as the Kurds attempt to gain a Nation-State or if the extremists on the islamic religious divide decide to bomb one of the otherside's mosques again.

But, when you find yourself absorbed in an ideological struggle to control the awesome Apparatus of the US Government everything is acceptable. And the problem is all the Declarations won't comfort those who lose their loved ones after the War has been "Won".

Responsibility

They just heard you offer the apology for all the monsters of our times. Death's Head Revisited, The Twilight Zone

Stand by... The reason for the economic collapse hath been found. According to Daniel Henninger, The collapse has at it's terrible root the Secularization of America.

Responsibility and restraint are moral sentiments. ...the steady secularizing and insistent effort at dereligioning America has been dangerous. Northerners and atheists who vilify Southern evangelicals are throwing out nurturers of useful virtue... Feel free: Banish Merry Christmas. Get ready for Mad Max.

Dereligioning? Awesome. We neede to rereligion America!

Because if we get rid of religion we face an apocalyptic future. It is only the Southern Gentleman holding back the godless northerners and secular americans bereft of morals and ethics who are itching to go all Lord Humungus on the Federal Reserve.

Mr. Henninger needs to go to Collative Learning for the excellent analysis of The Road Warrior by Rob Ager. Then he needs to google the name Alan Greenspan.

Of course, the best thing is this article brings out the ObamaisHitler theorists.

Despite this, the American people have elected a president who is at the forefront of the cultural revolution and up to his ears in the movement to eliminate so-called redlining. This is using the system to destroy the system writ large, and we may be entering a new age of government control of the privately owned economy, an arrangement known as fascism. Göring had a five-year plan, and the Democrats are showing many signs of wanting to follow in his footsteps, right down to the “anti-Zionism.” - comment by Wm. l. Woodford of Little Rock.

The BBC Deux

I can't wait to read Obama's new biography The Audacity of Hope 2: Devilish America Haters (TAH-DAH). Here is a short excerpt:

I always knew it was my goal in life to destroy America. I first learned of my desitny from my biological father Malcolm X. My training was begun in Indonesia, where I was born to darkness. I learned my teachings in islamo-marxist dictatorship. And I knew one day, I, B. Saddam Hussein Obama Bin Laden, would be able to bring about the Endtimes.

Everyone knows Obama is not an American. Everyone knows Obama plans to make a deal with Iran to destroy Israel. Everyone knows his plans for the Jewish people since Bill Cunningham proved Obama wants to "Gas the Jews". Everyone knows Obama is a young black Hitler. Everyone knows Obama is a muslim.

But, the evil Obama Media is determined to destroy the Real America and ignore all these truths and even great reporters like Glenn Beck have been taken in. Beck, amazingly doesn't realize Obama's election is a coup for Al Qaeda in his new column were he is duped into claiming Obama’s Election Changes Nothing for Al Qaeda. This is a terrible mistake by Beck! Roasryfilms rightly remarked Obama doesn't understand True religion because "Christ would never advocate turning the other cheek".

Scion of sanity Alan Keyes has joined in the Natural Born lawsuit case against Obama. A hearing is scheduled for the U.S. Supreme Court on 12/05/08.

The Toxic Commentary of these "rhetoricians" is akin to mercury poisoning. Once their spew touches you it never leaves your system. The Obama is Muslim meme continues to this day. And it's not hard to see why. It has power. Power to terrify. Power to control.

The Thanatos is strong with this one

2008 marks the 30th anniversary of the Tragedy at Jonestown. MSNBC has a three part series, Witness to Jonestown. I won't equate the Jonestown tragedy with all religions but if one places no or little value on This Life while praying for the Final Judgement which will reward(?) them in the next one, you're worshiping at the altar of death.

"Life!" I turned on him fiercely, "You have chosen death, all of you..."
"No, not death. We have chosen life eternal, the resurrection of the..."
"That is a story to tell children. The truth is for thousands of years we looked to what was living. Now you look to what is dead, you worship a dead man and tell one another that this world is not for us, while the next is all that matters. Only there is no next world..." - Julian, Gore Vidal

I think the stultification of religious thought in dominating mankind has lead to a violent reaction from those who hate. Right now powerful segments in islamic thinking are focused on killing and death. Fortunately, I think christianity has finally passed through it's last trials of death and pain in the 16th and 17th century and is no longer a death cult. But, some members clearly don't care about mankind. For instance if your believe the world isn't worth saving like god's chosen congresswoman Uber-American Michelle Bachmann who pointed out jesus saved it 2000 years ago. Or the mere fact you are born means you deserve death;

We have all rejected God (although some have repented of that and accepted Him), so we all deserve the death sentence. Even Noah and his family. But God chose to not give Noah and his family what they deserved (choosing them because Noah was, humanly speaking, "righteous"), and didn't impose the deserved death penalty on Noah and his family. He even had Noah preach to the people, in order to save them from their destruction, but to no avail. So instead of (implicitly) criticising God for giving the people what they deserved, we should be thanking Him for saving the ones willing to be saved. Philip J. Rayment 21:26, 24 April 2007 (EDT), an Administrator (sysop) over at Conservapedia.

Those who would hold to such a statement are indeed a worshipper of death. Why waste money on things like fruit fly research in Paris, France? When all you have to do to remove suffering from the world is believe? Research into the causes of disease becomes rather pointless if you think adam's sin is the cause of death.

This world and this life are all we get. I've tried in a small way to make it better for my fellow man, following my own moral compass. I've tried to be a good son, brother, friend colleague and professional and I think that's all you can ask of someone.

The Bailout was supposed to be the Troubled Asset Relief Program

but Fuck you! That money belongs to the banks now. Thanks for the check suckers bitches slaves.

The plan was initially to buy bad assets from banks, but Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Wednesday that the rescue package won't purchase those troubled assets. That plan would have taken too much time, he said, so instead the Treasury will rely on buying stakes in banks and encouraging them to resume more normal lending.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Wednesday backed away from the government's plan to use $700 billion in bailout funds to buy troubled mortgage assets and instead called for a fresh injection of cash to financial institutions."Our assessment at this time is that this is not the most effective way to use TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program ) funds," Paulson said.

"I will never apologize," Feudal Lord of the Exchequer Henry Paulson declared to the obediant serfs, "for changing an approach or strategy when the facts change. I think the apologies should come the other way." That's right when you question him, you should apologize.

Once they got the money your Plutocratic Overlords decided to change what they wanted to do with it. Oh and fuck you if you question your betters.

Oh but we have to worry about Obama's Coming Socialism!

What a fucking joke.

America is a Corporate Welfare State. Always has been, Always will be. And why because the Corporate Feudal Kleptocratic Plutocrats have so indoctrinated people into believing there is a difference (on the macro level) between parties or have successfully diverted your attention on things like Gaaaaaays Gettin' Married! Oh no not Marriage! The Horror!

What we've had fully revealed in the last 8 years and semi-covertly for the 20 years prior to that is The Piss on You government which relishes in the fact it start wars whenever it wishes, it can appropriate Trillions of dollars whenever it wishes and it controls you often with your meek and sometimes with your tacit approval.

Update:
I forgot to add... From a Boston Globe article:

A senior Pentagon advisory group, in a series of bluntly worded briefings, is warning President-elect Barack Obama that the Defense Department's current budget is "not sustainable," and he must scale back or eliminate some of the military's most prized weapons programs.

The briefings were prepared by the Defense Business Board, an internal management oversight body.

I'm sure the ObamaisHitler people would use this as evidence on how Radical Socialist islamo-marxists err, I mean Democrats hate the military and want us to lose the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Oh and Obama personally caused the unemployment rate to hit a 14 year high, 6.5%.

Mark Epstein delves deep into ObamisHitler rhetoric.

Mr. Epstein writes: We begin the confrontation with an articulate apologia but, if necessary, we extend no quarter to those who would support leaders who will take our country into a Nazi-style tyranny.

Those who reject God and His role in our society are enemies of the American people, the US Constitution, and our republic. If there is to be a litmus test for political office and political ideology, then Americans must reject anything and everything political or “rights” oriented that fails to incorporate biblical principles.

The Founding Fathers wrote: but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. Article VI of the US Constitution.

I'll go with the DWEMs.

Toxic Commentary

The Blame Barack Campaign. Limbaugh and others wasted no time in coming out and declaring Obama is to blame for all things bad ever.

"The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen. Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression." ~ Rush Limbaugh, 3 hours of vitriol 5 days a week.

I can't imagine even the blindest Limbaugh supporters could swallow such a load of bollocks. Except they will and the next four years will be a non-stop campaign to lay the entire blame for the financial meltdown onto Obama.

The financial system is designed to have booms-and-bust. During the Booms the Better Class of America enjoys all the benefits and allows a trickle to flow down onto the mass of people. The Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Prosperity. And during the busts, well the losses are thrust upon the people to absorb.

Meanwhile, the flow of Obama is Hitler continues. And the Obama=Hitler theory isn't advanced by some crazy individual using YouTube but stated by a member of the Federal Government.

"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist." - Rep Paul Broun, who stands behind his comments.You see, Obama is exactly like Hitler and the Soviet Union.

Well, no, no he isn't he isn't and I don't know what to think of your mental process if you can equate the two so easily.

But, the problem is the Toxic rhetoric has been emanating steadily during the years long election cycle. Media Matters has compiled some of the more noteworthy examples of conservative radio hosts' and their guests' attacks on Obama and, more generally, attacks against others in the context of the 2008 election.

What does it all mean? I don't know. People are wont to exaggerate and hyperbole. But, I think the constant invective spewing forth from Limbaugh, Cunningham, Hannity et al is at least a causal factor.

The flag

You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us. ~ Radiohead, No Surprises

Jon Lilyea over at This ain't Hell and others have accurately observed the victory of Obama is now an occasion for those who flew the flag upside down or refused to fly one at all the opportunity to be proud to be an American again.

The election of Obama is not going to be an occasion for me to go out and buy a (cheaply made Chinese) American flag. Because the flag still stands as an empty symbol.

I know what the flag was supposed to represent: honor, courage, unity... But, at best, it's a thread-bare ghostly representation of those things. It is not those things in and of itself. The flag is not the people. The flag did not raise itself upon Suribachi, men did it. Those who continually drape themselves in the flag do so in order to invoke nationalistic feelings and to convince the people, the Nation as a whole stands behind their personal gratification, whims and desires.

I didn't fly a flag during the Clinton Regime, I didn't fly one during the Bush Junta and I won't fly one during Obama's Rule.

I Love Everyday People

One of the most transparent tactics used by McCain during the contest was to create an American Everyman, Joe the Plumber (JTP). A caricature of Average Joe Six-Pack America. The press then obliged the McCain Camp by attacking JTP allowing Malkin to beat her breast and wail about JTP Derangement Syndrome.

So it turns out, Mr. Wurtzelbacher received welfare when growing up. Dude, I understand sometimes people need a hand up or a handout but it seems especially hardhearted (or downright hypocritical) for JTP to now be decrying Obama for his eviiiiil Marxist plan of spreading the wealth.

Even though I am a Minarchist I recognize if given their druthers large corporate bodies would probably use up workers (or conceal safety reports about Coal Mines, even in 2008) as they did in the 19th century, discarding coal miners after they got injured in a mine collapse or cutting ties with railroad conductors after their arms were ripped off in train related accidents.

Consequently, I am not in favor of tossing people out of their homes and onto the street and applaud the decision of the Cook County Sheriff in October of stopping foreclosure evictions or denying those in dire need of handouts/aid/training akin to welfare, which Mr. Wurtzelbacher hates. Man it's hard to be conflicted about political beliefs, if only I had the fervent convictions of that Most American Male Sean Hannity, that Liberals are evil traitors.

The Party Purge

Redstate has begun a party purge in order that their messiah, the Bright Once and Future Queen Palin may ascend to political godhead status. They call it Operation Leper. Additionally, Michelle Malkin has taken up the Palin banner and is accusing anyone who points out Palin is an ignorant woman of cowardly character assassination.

Earlier this year over and Democratic Underground the DU had a similar purge of hatred as the Obamabots and Hillirites fought each other for months and months over the nomination.

It's clear Party Idealogy is more important to most of these people than Individuals. Getting their power player into control of the vast Apparatus of Government is paramount. Because once that person is in power they can exert control over other Americans.

This is why I have little faith Obama will change anything. Under his regime the Plutocratic class will still control America and individuals will still be the property of the state.

To paraphrase Emma Goldman, If voting could change anything, it would be against the law.

Center-Right Chrisitian Nation

The election of Barack Obama has caused the Folks at Fox News and elsewhere to declare America is a Center Right country. It is utter nonsense to apply such a vacuous generalization to individuals. No two individuals hold the exact same political beliefs. The pernicious genius of the current structure is it has shoe-horned individuals into one of two camps. Often causing people to swallow hard and vote "for the lesser of two evils".

Similarly since a very high percentage of Americans identify themselves as christian, America is often referred to as a "christian" nation. I suppose if one lumps the First Baptists, Catholics, Mormons, Methodists, Armenian Orthodoxy and all the other branches together it could be considered true. The problem is no two individuals hold the same religious beliefs but for the sake of civil society and friendships they often, but not always, overlook scripitura disagreements.

Well, The Founding Fathers were not christians. They were deists. (100%)

My own mind is my own church. ~ Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason.

Nor were they politically right.

They founded the United States as a Feudal Oligarchy controlled mainly by the landed interests. It did incorporate the Platonic ideas of meritocracy that occasionally in the merchant class and very rarely in the fields were the lower classes toiled would be found a man of talent who could rise into the quasi-aristocracy.

James Madison recognized America was founded where, "the rights of persons were subjected to those of property. The poor were sacrificed to the rich."

Madison and others since they were well versed in the classics, also understood Aristole's warning:

Aristocracy degenerates into oligarchy, when the few, who are rich, govern the state as best suits the interests of their avarice and ambition; and a republic degenerates into a democracy when the mass who are poor, make the gratification of their own passions the only rule of their administration.

James Madison fully expected class struggle between rich and poor. And the history of America is testament to this struggle. The last 8 years have been a phase of utter dominance by the plutocracy.

It's the End of the World as We Know It

And I feel fine.

The first thing I want from those who are predicting this is the End of America is a definition: Define America. Give me as detailed or as vague a definition as you can. Because I need to know what it is exactly which has died. Then we can go about punishing the 64 million people who murdered it.

The Dow went down by 400 points Obama's to blame!

To announce there should be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or anyone else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about anyone esle. - Theodore Roosevelt

I recall the Bush supporters and warmongers calling anyone, who dared speak up to point out illegal behavior, traitors and calling for arrests and death for treason. It's going to be awesome the next 4 years because now their guy is on the outs. I expect all of a sudden they, the Real Americans, will see themselves holding up all that is good against the evil tide of Socialism and be forced to stand up to the evils and excesses of the US Federal government. Soon the words of Teddy Roosevelt will be highlighted upon their blogs as they predict and ascribe everything evil under the sun to the islamo-marxist milieu created by Obama's ascendancy.

Flopping Aces points out the following occurred since Obama was elected: I’m disappointed that the nation will have to endure this quisling-in-chief for four long years. Today the Dow sank below 400 erasing gains, yesterday hamas rocketed Israel and a chill wind blew in an overcast, rainy day in Philly. A sign of things to come?

Steven Den Beste predicts the following: My comments follow in bold.
2. The US hasn't suffered a terrorist attack by al Qaeda since 9/11, but we'll get at least one during Obama's term. I guess the Amerithrax attacks and the DC Sniper don't count as terrorism...

3. We're going to lose in Afghanistan. Because Bush won Afghanistan already?

4. Iran will get nuclear weapons. There will be nuclear war between Iran and Israel. (This is the only irreversibly terrible thing I see upcoming, and it's very bad indeed.) Joe The Plumber knows Israel!

CDR Salamander: Also, we should all bask in the glory that to much of the Muslim world that knows their Sharia - we just elected and apostate to Islam as our President. We now have waiting for us in the new year the most Leftist government this nation has seen arguably in 70 years... Tune in, turn on, drop in like a Daisy Cutter. The Democrats now have to govern. They will show themselves. You now have your liberty and Constitution to defend. Attack their policies. Attack their proposals.

Moonbattery: There are people lowdown enough to know in advance who and what was elected yesterday, and to have voted for the Moonbat Messiah anyway. What they have done to this country is beyond forgiveness.

But an ultra-radical leftist like Obama could not be elected in a center-right country, or even a center-left country, without a great deal of deception.

Sadly, I guess the real fear is Nation of islam brownshirts will soon be knocking on the door of every pro-Americans' home to take their guns and force them to convert. Meanwhile, Obama will sign a Nuclear Arms deal with Iran who will then destroy Israel. And pass the 100% tax on all Americans making $1 USC a year and placing people into collective farms to begin the glorious transformation of America into The USSA.

Is it in the heart or in the head

If you're not liberal when you're under 30 you have no heart, if you're not conservative blah blah blah ~ Winston Bloody Churchill

I was asked if I voted with my heart or my head this election. I replied if I had voted with my head I would have voted for Ralph Nader, but I voted with my heart and choose Barack Obama.

I really wanted to vote for Brian Patrick Moore the real Socialist running for President, but Illinois didn't allow the Socialists ballot access.

This is the first time I've managed to vote for the winner of a presidential election.

Sadly, I have to admit Sean Hannity was absolutely correct. Being in Illinois, following the pick of Rahm Emanuel for Chief of Staff, I have learned Obama has contacted Louis Farrahkan to supply young men for the creation of the OKIS (Obama koranic Imposition Squads). Blackwater has been contracted to provide training to the OKIS, who will liason on with local Illinois law enforcement in forced conversations and the placement of korans (with GPS trackers) which must be placed in the living rooms of every American. Incidentally these korans must be shown to a police officer upon demand.

Who could have known!

Whatca Gonna Do?

When Obamania runs wild over you, Sarah?

How can real patriotic pro-Americans support a president who thinks the terrorists are the good guys, whose islamic pastor damn's America, whose election means Death to Israel, whose wife doesn't love America, who would be a Neo-Marxist president?

What happens when he issues signing statements to not respect laws passed by Congress? What happens when he overthrows a a government run by a brutal dictator and frees millions of people but then get the US involved in long war and an open ended Utopian Nation building program? What happens when his vice president shoots a man in the face and then hides from local law enforcement for 24 hours? Will you just accept these outrages?

But how to resist? How do you brave brave souls resist his encroachment on your rights? Clearly, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Loyal Subject Sean Hannity believes violent resistance to a government and even speaking out against one's country to be unacceptable.

How do you intend to live One Day as A Lion? Well, I don't think Hannity, she who shall be never named, Bill Cunningham, Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Lars Larson, Melanie Morgan, Michelle Malkin are going to do anything except continue to spout their invective over the airwaves, Which according to Rush Limbaugh and Malkin readers Obama's grandmother faked her death in order to get the sympathy vote for Obama.

Oh well.

I am against government. The corporate class continues to dominate and control vast wealth and power. It continues to pit poor and middle-class americans against one another and American workers against workers in other Nations both figuratively and literally. The Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complex continues to siphon of Trillions of dollars in the production of death. My leanings tend towards restriction/destruction of coercive authority and a move towards Minarchism/Anarchism. But, I don't have a specific target. I would never fight against police officers or soldiers because they are cogs in the machine and not the problem. And as I am not imbued with superpowers like V or Neo to strike out and destroy the Machinery itself I restrict myself to education of self and others. And as long as people abide by the Non-Aggression Principle I'm more than willing to let other people do as they will.

But, to the Freepers Obama is the enemy they hate! He is The One whom they need to fight against. Limbaugh is on air saying Obama is going to destroy America. And the real Americans are going to do nothing for the next four years?

And when thinking about the Obama/Ayers guilt by association game never forget Judas kept some excellent friends.

D&D=Satanism=Barack Obama

The recent revelation that charity funds raised in honor of Gary Gygax at GenCon were turned down by the Cristian Children's Fund merely because of an association with D&D got me thinking about one of the many smear attempts made against Barack Obama.

Michael Goldfarb wrote:

It may be typical of the pro-Obama Dungeons & Dragons crowd to disparage a fellow countryman's memory of war from the comfort of mom's basement.

My first supposition was only jobless losers who play Dungeons and Dragons would vote for Obama causing all virile American Men to puff out there chests and declare I ain't no gaming dweeb and vote for McCain.

But, my friend Ran theorized it was because to many D&D is synonymous with Satanism. Of course, Faux News actually got around to making the conjecture with James Pinkerton's Pulitzer Prize piece The Devil is in the Details: Another Obama Connection You Ought to Know About, asking the important question Could Lucifer play a role in this presidential election?

It's 2008, yet we still have appeals to non-existent characters from bronze age fairy tales. The god of the bible clearly does not exist. But if the bible were somehow the word of god the bravest character would be Lucifer who threw off his chains of bondage and declared, in the face of impossible odds, I Will Not Serve.

Zinn and Chomsky

They are right Vote for Obama most definetely the less of the two evils.

How does one resist their Government?

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries t change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are. ~ H. L. Mencken.

What is the difference between a terrorist, a patriot, a freedom fighter and a rebel? The McCain Camp has been pushing a connection between Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground and Obama. Why?

ZombieTime published a post highlighting, Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism a book produced by Ayers and other members of the Weather Underground. Interestingly, the post starts with the following: William Ayers is a communist. Then disclaims there is nothing illegal about being a communist but ends with the (I suppose) stinging reproach;

William Ayers is a communist. By his own description. He was a communist then, he is a communist now, and he was a communist for the entire time that Barack Obama worked with him and was associated with him.

The Weathermen conducted activities against the United States Federal and State and Local governments (across the US but also in Chicago, the Weathermen twice destroyed a statue of a police officer which stood in Haymarket Square) during the US war in Vietnam and stated they planned to "seize power". The Weathermen used bombings, demonstrations and prison breaks.

There is a loud contingent, led by such luminaries as Sean Hannity and Bill Cunningham, claiming what Bill Ayers did in the Sixties was beyond redemption and when Obama wins, have convinced themselves he will install a islamic marxist police state, which will take their property and curb their freedoms. But, what can they do to resist such an evil government? Clearly they can not physically resist because of their stance against violent resistance used by Ayers. They have placed themselves in a quandary.

The problem is these people who are touting Ayers as ultimate evil have constrained themselves into accepting the Hobbesian Ideal of Government. Once a government takes power the people have no voice and no role in government and the every action of the government is by axiom, legitimate. This is clearly the view of the two Dicks, Nixon and Cheney. As typified by the famous Nixon line ‘If the President Does It, That Means It’s Not Illegal’ and Cheney's 'So?' in response to the fact 2/3rds of Americans think the war in Iraq is not worth fighting.

So does Bill Cunningham think resisting the government is immoral or prima facie evidence of treason? No, Bill Cunningham has stated many times if Obama is elected he will fight like a Scottish Warrior Poet or like Patrick Swayze in Red Dawn.

But by what LEGITIMACY does Braveheart Cunningham have in resisting Obama's Federal Government?

The early history of the United States is founded on the Polybian belief in order to avoid revolts a simple government of one of the 3 classic types (monarchy, aristocracy, democracy) is to have a balanced government combining the 3. The One, The Few, The Many. The problem is those men were the product of the Enlightenment as well versed in Ancient Greek and Roman History as with contemporary thought. Such men are in short supply today. But, to them the problems of modern America are not new, they are simply an extension of the problems faced in Ancient Greece and Revolutionary America. However, the United States was founded with the active resistance (The Revolution) to the ruling government. Which causes a problem; If violent struggle can legitimately be used once can it be used again? Or was the American Revolution a one-time aberration?

Toranaga: There is no mitigating factor for rebellion against your liege lord. Blackthorne: Unless you win. ~ from James Clavell's Shogun.

On what side would those who rage rage rage on the Obama/Ayers connection have fallen with regards to Sophie Scholl and White Rose, with the government or the radicals?

Are these they same people who cheered when the US military rolled into Iraq and deposed the ruling government of Saddam Hussein? Would they have been pro-Sadr when his father was against Saddam and anti-Sadr when the son is against the current government of Iraq?

Do these people cheer the Kurds on against the government of Turkey? Do they champion a Kurdish Free State? Or do they snicker and roll their eyes at Biden's not new idea of a tripartite Iraq?

Are these the same people who cheered Georgian military aggression against South Ossetia?

Do these people think the Irish resistance to British rule is unconscionable and the deaths and bombings in the Troubles are all the fault of Irish criminals who have no basis for resistance?

Getting back to the Weatherman bombing tactics. What is the difference between the bombing of the Haymarket Square statue and when the American Founding Fathers and Patriots destroyed a statue of King George III, which stood at the foot of Broadway on the Bowling Green in New York to make bullets?

Sometimes, in the beginning of an insane shabby political upheaval he is strongly moved to revolt, but he doesn't do it - he knows better. He knows his maker would find out - the maker of his patriotism, the windy and incoherent six-dollar subbeditior of the village newspaper - and would bray out in print and call him a traitor. ~ Mark Twain, As regards Patriotism.

Funny how Twain knew what tactics would be used against those who stand against their government.

Sowing the Seeds of Hate

Update:
Well, since standard red-baiting Obama is a Socialist isn't working why not just claim - Obama is League with Lucifer! Could Lucifer play a role in this presidential election? So asks James PINKerton.


You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. ~ The Emperor

Vote for McCain or get the Fuck out of My Country, you fake american, socialist, communist, anti-american, god-hating muslim!

The face is revealed. The spittle-flying vitriol has spouted fancy buds. No longer do we have fringe chemically imbalanced persons like Ann Coulter She Who Shall Not Be Named calling the other party Traitors, it's permeated and become the mantra of an entire political party.

It started with Sarah Palin and her gosh-golly darn-it, I'm so folksy and hot and Obama's-a-terrorist speeches and extended when both she and McCain equated Obama with socialism. I'd love to hear Sarah Hot Piece define Socialism it would probably be as understandable as her definition of what the United States Vice President does.

Of course, the most egregious example is Michelle Bachmann's call for an investigation of anti-american's in Congress. But if you listen to her closely not only does she believe Obama is anti-american, to Bachmann anti-americans can be found many places; "some of these people have positions teaching in institutions of higher learning, but, you'll find them in all walks of life all throughout america."

Uh-huh. Bachmann has no idea what she is talking about. Watching her vapid stare, listening to the pauses, the set patterns of speech, the stilted way she responded to questions which differed from her set talking points it appeared Bachmann had been given the RNC text of; equate Liberal with anti-american at every opportunity. She's a tool or a fool.

Absolutely, I have concerns Barack Obama has anti-american views. ~ Michelle Bachmann

Good. Use your aggressive feelings. Let the hate flow through you. ~ The Emperor

But, it didn't stop with Bachmann, who actually has continued her Obama is anti-american talking points. McCain advisor Nancy Pfoentauer divided Virginia (again) into real and unreal parts and the Real part supports McCain.

Robin Hayes stated unequivocally "Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in god", then lied, then claimed it's the fault of liberal bloggers. Dang those liberals! Not only do they hate real americans then they lie about it and slander a real american like Sarah Hot Piece and Robin Hayes!

And as a minister in an Iowa McCain rally pointed out, everyone knows the false faiths of the world yearn for an Obama victory.

Of course, claiming one's side has the Mandate from Heaven is not new in politics it's one of the oldest arguments for claiming power.

And the mobs which have been taken in and read the "works" of Coulter she who shall not be named, Michael Savage Weiner Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, Sean Hannity, these comments help whip them into a hate-filled frenzy. Socialist! Communist! Terrorist! Anti-American!

I'm sure if Bachmann was given her script and told to include the following words, she would find them and the men who penned them and stood in armed conflict against their government to be anti-american:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

I'm sure she would declare this to be against the right of center values which in her mind alone real americans hold dear.

And a note on Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground. The Weathermen twice destroyed a hypocritical statue of a police officer which stood in Haymarket Square, taking this action alone how is it different than when the American Founding Fathers and Patriots destroyed a statue of King George III, which stood at the foot of Broadway on the Bowling Green in New York to make bullets?

Mad Max & Lord Humungus

Inspired by LT Nixon's fantastic article Vote Lord Humungus in '08 I began thinking again about one of my favorite and the quintessential Post-Apocalyptic movies of all time, The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2). In so doing I found an excellent analysis of the film, Max, Lord Humungus and Society on YouTube by Rob Ager. I am placing them here with all credit to Mr. Ager.

Part One.


Part Two.

I love to read Dailykos and FreeRepublic

because when someone breaks with political orthodoxy they are subjected to the Shame Circle.

This is what it must have been like to be a member of a religious community over the last 2000 years. If you dare flex your brain, think and possibly disagree with the entrenched power and accepted dogma the group surrounds you and ridicules you. No wonder it's taking so long for man to break free of the shackles of religion and enhanced tribalism (a.k.a. nationalism).

Donald Trump says Bush is bad and should have been impeached. And even though Trump endorses McCain, the supermericans at FreeRepublic must punish him for his heretical views on Our Glorious Bush who singlehanded defeated Terrorism forever! Trump must be brought back into the fold on W. He must be insulted personally, he must be insulted on physical appearance.

Christopher Hitches, a pro-Iraq War, decided anti-islamic to the extreme gentleman who champions reason and hates religion dares to point out Sarah Tall and Palin has no clothes and is roundly chastised. He is a drunk! We hate him! Boo!

Laura Ingraham one of the ideological descendants of Phyllis Schlafly declares "She can't believe" Hitchens would break from the Orthodoxy and vote for Obama!

This isn't a right or left thing it's a power and conformity issue. Both sides know they have listened to the true prophets and the other side has listened to false ones. One doesn't dare differ.

However, I guess it's comforting No Congressman has declared there should be trials for those who dare to stand up. I mean it's not like those people who hold different views are Anti-American or something....

If you think War is Good for the Economy

then you obviously believe that Theft and Criminal Damage are good for the economy as well.

Think about what a good boost to the economy someone breaking your car windshield and setting off a fire extingusiher inside you car does.

First you have to clean your car, this requires the use of cleaners and towels, plus maybe a vacuum so you'll need to pay for those supplies which keeps Americans working in production, transport and sales of those items.

Next you drive your car to get a new windshield this requires the use of fuel a boost for American oil companies. Then there's the labor required to put the new windshield into your car by the mechanic and you have to pay the cashier.

And unlike War which results in destruction overseas, when iPod's and jewelry are stolen and cars, homes, street signs and parks are vandalized it's happening right here! Americans get the added benefit of getting the latest updated equipment and newest infrastructure.

If one wishes to be logical with the continued pace of advancement in concrete techniques, fiber optic wiring, power cables, building materials and manufacturing techniques Americans should demand the US Government destroy everything (highways, bridges, homes, Wal Marts) in the United States using half of our munitions and rebuild it all in order for We the People to enjoy a technologically updated society.

I agree with Sean Hannity

Everyone with bizarre radical religious backing should be excluded from the office of President of the United States.

Jon Hagee wants a Nuclear "showdown" with Iran, Hagee knows god's mind he knows all about god's political positions on US immigration and our foreign policy with Israel. And he's deduced from years of "study" the Catholic Church is the Great Whore of Babylon.

And recall If you don't Vote for McCain, You'll Suffer A Hurricane

And McCain's "Spiritual Guide" was Rod Parsley until McCain had to disassociate himself when Parsely stated America was "founded with the intention of seeing this false religion (islam) destroyed".

And then there's Sarah Tall and Palin. Her Witch Doctor and the Wasilla Armageddon of God... Of course, it's not like Sarah Palin is"palling around" with Secessionists*...

Oh wait... I never hear Sean-o talk about these incidents! Why oh Why?

I deplore this game. But, why does Hannity attack Obama about Jeremiah Wright? I don't know...

*- the secession thing is a +plus+ for Palin. I'd be happy if she was to go back to Alaska and declare their independence from the US.

President McCain

John McCain should have won the republican nomination in 2000. But, the Bush regime used the most low and untrue accusations to destroy his campaign and allow Bush to, eventually, steal the 2000 election.

I wonder if those who supported Bush in 2000 think McCain would have done a better job at guiding the Nation after 9/11. I do.

For one thing I know President McCain would not have explicitly endorsed Torture as Bush did. And McCain would not have ignored the pre-9/11 warnings as Bush did and stopped the terror attack. You see McCain having real military experience would understand war and threats to American in a way Bush never had and never will.

But, the Bush Campaign attacked Cindy McCain as a drug addict, alleged McCain had an illegitamite "mixed-race*" baby, questioned McCain's patriotism including floating the theory McCain was the Vietnam Manchurian Candidate. Bush also attacked McCain military record. Bush stood arm-in-arm with a man named J. Thomas Burch to claim McCain forgot and abandoned veterans after Vietnam. (Now of course, when the IAVA released it's Report Card on Veterans Issues and gave McCain a D, it was attacked as partisan politics). Bush also out-Christianed McCain.

Those attacks on McCain were despicable. Do the McCain supporters who voted Bush in absolve themselves and the Bush regime of their role in sliming and slandering McCain?

Of course, the thought of President Palin should scare everyone from voting for the female Bush.


*- Race is a bullshit construct.

Sarah Palin hates Partisan politics

And thinks Ron Paul is Cool. Watch her!

Here's what she said, when asked "Ron Paul, following in Alaska?"

"He's cool. He's a good guy. He's a good guy, he's so independent. He's independent of the party machine. I'm like right on and So am I! The party machinery on both sides of the party. Americans are tiring of the incessant partianship that gets in the way." (edited by me to remove the verbal fillers)

Ooooh Noes! She supports Ron Paul, now I'm going to have to vote for her! Wait, this must have been earlier in 2008 when Sarah Tall and Palin supported the Alaskan Secessionist movement.

Any chance Palin is attempting to infiltrate and sunder apart America at the behest of the Alaskan Independence Party?

Update:
Christopher Hitchens on Sarah Palin:

And the only public events that have so far featured his absurd choice of running mate have shown her to be a deceiving and unscrupulous woman utterly unversed in any of the needful political discourses but easily trained to utter preposterous lies and to appeal to the basest element of her audience.

Finding mary in a pane of glass...

OR allah in a mango.

I guess I have to change my position on miracles because these are so obvious and there can't be any other explanation than the eternal spirit of the virgin mary didn't use windex on the hospital glass. And allah wants all good muslims to eat mangos and in doing so consume him. Oh wait it's the other guy who wants you to eat him...

True Believers!

The old canard to keeping friends and having happy families is to never discuss politics or religion.

The reason present day United Stater Liberals and Conservatives have such vitriol for each other is as Hayek wrote;

"They competed for the support of the same type of mind and reserved for each other the hatred of the heretic. But their practice showed how closely they are related."

And to paraphrase "...to the Liberal the Conservative, and to the Conservative the Liberal are potential recruits who are made of the right timber, although they have listened to false prophets, they both know that there can be no compromise between them and those who really believe in individual freedom." ~ F.A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom, 34.

This election cycle has raised up a messiah for each side. To never been questioned and to be defended with the most violent hate and rage. Amplified and exacerbated by the hounds...

Is there a difference between Our Choices this year? Maybe.

But, both candidates voted yea on the Bailout of rescue socialism for the powerful. Neither candidate plans on reducing the Imperial American Military presence across the globe. And trillions will still be funneled to the MIC. On a Macro scale there really is no difference. It's the latest battle in the War of the Roses. Your choice is which Feudal Lord do you wish to bow down to and pay homage.

However, it maybe on the micro picture a president Obama or a president McCain will mean different things for individual families. I for one dislike McCain's Capital Gains tax plan, his Warmonger status and Palin's endtimes religious zealotry.

Vote for whomever you feel like and be prepared to be cursed for your Heresy by the other side.

Update:
Seems like this is a common thought reverbarating around the internet. Here is a post from the Volokh Conspiracy about the [Insert Name] Derangment Syndrome covering a similar theme as my essay.

Andrew Sullivan touches on the election Anger here.

The Echo Effect

The best thing about the internet is it allows the user to read and re-read the same stories which conform to their already held beliefs without the hassle of being bothered by dissenting opinion.

This rabid election cycle has placed the Echo Effect front and center.

One of the latest revelations centers around ACORN.

I never heard of ACORN but after Michelle Malkin posted a story on her site, The Echo Effect began; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

The First problem is an accusation is not a conviction. An investigation is not a conviction. Quite frankly, even arrests aren’t convictions. But, the accusation is enough. ACORN 2008 will join the Florida Voter Purges in 2000 and the I’ll Deliver Ohio in 2004 as another in the long line of stolen elections. The problem is each side (as though there are only ever two) treats the accusation as proof of the evil of the other side, while ignoring any impropriety on their side. It's part of the Noble Lie Theory. It's okay to lie if your guy (who is good and just) defeats their guy (who is evil and sinful).

Obama is going to win the presidency, but I don’t even know why Obama woud want to be president. You can be assured during his entire administration that side will engage in non-stop BBC (Blame Barack Campaign) closely aligned with ABC (Always Blame Clinton).

I think these breathless ACORN revelations will stand alongside the claims Obama is a secret muslim, doesn’t have US citizenship, is in cahoots with terrorists, is a raging black militant, wants to raise your taxes and will "surrender" in Iraq as a building block to support the 4 years of constant attacks which will be leveled against Obama. I'm willing to bet Sean Hannity will spend a segment of every show form 2009-2013 placing blame on Obama.

Obama is going to be set up as the reason anything and everything bad happens to the "country". Of course, the possibilty exists Obama’s Cabinet will sponsor ideas, laws and policies which do not help Americans. It's posssible but at this point the evidence doesn't exist he'll intentionally push a policy designed to harm the American people. There is a difference between policies which do not work out as planned and have bad consequences and policies which are intentionally set up and have bad consequences.

There is no doubt Bush’s policies were intentionally set up and that is a fundemental difference between any bad effects which follow. The Bush Administration had intent behind their schemes.

Iraq is far from won. Afghanistan has been allowed to fester. The economy isn’t going to get better for the lowly Plebians. Enter the Fall Guy.
