Disgust with Republicans

Disgust with Mainline Republicans:

.

LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY:
When we find ourselves needing to sell to foreigners our infrastructure in order for it to be built or maintained so that we can rent it back, has not our moral weakness and depravity for overextending our debt come to be written on the wall? Having sold ourselves on the cheap, can we hope ever again to regain any semblance of sovereignty?

.

In large part, I am a Red Ass Moderate because Democrats just “do not get” individual responsibility, but Republicans just “do not get” fiscal or social responsibility.

Republicans seem always to want to justify greed based on individual hunting success, apart from responsibility or loyalty owed to a wider, sustaining community.

But no individual entirely deserves or earns the pay he hunts or receives. Rather, all of us stand to gain or lose, undeservedly, from community organization, exploitation of common environment, happenstance of birth, leverage of position, adhesive and unequal bargaining, and rationalizing of why the poor should or should not mind or owe the rich. There is nothing particularly fair, reasonable, or justifiable about entire families, clans, or cliques accelerating in disproportionate power to rule the labor of others merely because of happenstance of position for leveraging.

All of us benefit from nurturing a civilization that is stable, sustainable, and amenable of surpassage.

All of us stand to benefit when society is organized to encourage or avail: individuals to work and produce; reasonable opportunity for individuals to earn enough to be able to pursue, buy, or finance shelter, clothing, food, and self respect; empathy and fair dealing with one another; respect for fundamentals for preserving family and social decency; appreciation of our shared need to nourish, heal, educate, and inspire ever-replacing generations; assimilation and respect for social traditions and laws; respect for our common culture and environment; unity for pursuing purpose, art, science, philosophy, understanding, and fulfillment; unity for defending against what is uncivil, nihilistic, or death-dealing;
and appropriate communitarian means for defending, resetting, redistributing, and reapportioning social access for each individual to have OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE income, wealth, power, and general fulfillment.

When society lacks means for fairly reapportioning relative financial power across classes of wealth, natural advantages for leveraging positions continue to accrue, so that gulfs between “haves” and “have nots” continue to expand. Such a situation is neither healthy nor conducive to happy society. NOR IS IT SUSTAINABLE!

All people are people; none of them appreciates being alienated, ignored, unrepresented, deceived, or condescended to, as a "little person." Yet, alienation, loss of empathy, mistrust, and mutual hostility are what occur, as gulfs in financial power accelerate ever more widely to separate us. Such gulfs seem not to be occurring so much because of innate moral merit or ability as because of compounding advantages in leveraging wealth, position, and access to cliques and secret societies of inside information and loyalties.

.

Those finding cynically competitive advantage in discarding notions of morality based in spirituality may swim up to topmost levels of power. Discarding morality, their agnostic, nihilistic, atheistic corruption leads to indifference to the plight, value, or worth of the masses of humanity. Such indifference corrupts and seeps into all levels of government and business with which such controllers come into contact. Such indifference leads us all, even ordinary governmental servants and business operatives, to become ever more indifferent and less empathetic to the welfare and moral value of one another. Thus do we begin morally to decline, quickly. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12yfN4wrzQ8.)

Respecting the need to incentive individual work, risk, and insight is only one aspect of a healthy society. But, too often, Republicans have been too short sighted to appreciate: how much their well being depends upon society’s sense of fairness as a whole; how dependent we all are, for being supported in old age, upon the health and good will of our progeny; and how dependent the continued economy and sustenance of all of us is upon each replacing generations’ being availed of fair, financial means to thrive.

Anyone reasonably in touch across various levels of our society should have long ago appreciated how very detrimental to good will towards Republicans is their willfully rationalized blindness, by and large, to the ill of proportionately ever-increasing gulfs across income levels.

For that blindness, the current administration has well earned society’s disgust.

Were John McCain's philosophy only the disgusting philosophy of an ordinary Republican, my support for him would be even less heartfelt.

See http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/29/business/29bailout.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin, discussing: Limitations on executive pay; stalls on foreclosures; sharing by Government in potential equities; rules for oversight regarding conflicts of interest; and insurance against dubious individual extensions of credit.

But, ask --- what will protect against continuing, increasing:
1) Dependence of U.S. Government on top-tier money changers?
2) Enrichment in wealth and power of abusers of top-tier money changing markets, by mooching and leveraging off the faith and credit of the national government? (There is nothing quite like paying to get screwed!)
3) Allowing of the faith and credit of the U.S. to be used to leverage the continuing sellout of America’s infrastructure to foreigners?
4) Loss of revenues for Americans for maintaining America’s infrastructure?
5) Obfuscation of transparency in accounting through ruses of inventive, dubious credit instruments?
6) Proliferation of government backed mortgage loans to un-creditworthy borrowers?
7) Debt-enslavement of Americans and people worldwide?
8) Devaluation of moral and financial worth of ordinary individual people?
9) Gulfs in income, wealth, and power between “haves” and “have nots,” to such extent as to undermine representative democracy?

10) Pixie dust paper magic to promise the sort of imaginary banquet Peter Pan offered to the Lost Boys, now promising guarantees for pension plans, later, probably, promising to assume all third world indebtedness, all of this leading not to an International Utopia, but to an International Gulag under an iron heel of top tier money controllers.

PIPE DREAMS AND FALSE PROMISES:

See http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/09/the_bailout_plan_as_of_sunday.html.
This is pixie dust paper magic for promising the same sort of imaginary banquet Peter Pan offered to the Lost Boys.
Congress now promises guarantees for pension plans. No doubt, this will be followed by promises to assume all third world indebtedness.
This is not a path to International Utopia, but to International Gulag.
We are being piped off by top level money changers, with Obama acting as smiley face for the real pipers, leading us under an iron heel of faux socialism.
Kill this bill!

See Ron Paul and Jim Cramer, being prescient at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nf9Gbkbm8I.
It appears the Fed has been modulating interest rates not to modulate the economy, but to set up a Mount Vesuvius of instability, as prelude for top tier money changers to stampede us into International Gulag.
Was it H.G. Wells who once wrote a story about people expecting or thinking they were living in paradise, but in fact being raised as cattle?
