Do elites belong on the Supreme Court? No. I'm starting to think elites don't much belong anywhere. In every important institution, we are now run by elites. Propaganda is that they know best and the rest of us just need to get out of the way. As Obama puts it, he doesn't mind cleaning up the mess we make; he just doesn't want us interfering with his clean up.
But are these elites really looking out for our Constitution, America, or even for us? I don't think so. Can an honest representative get elected to Congress? Can anyone get appointed to a significant position who has not networked among sell outs? I'm no longer confident of that. If these elites can only get appointed or elected by serving gate keeping trolls apart from the 65 percent of common sense Americans, then who precisely are these elites working for, in all institutions, and for what purposes?
Are they working to preserve America for common sense Americans? Or are they working to serve interests bent on consolidating international corporatist control under some kind of worldwide law?
As things stand, until common sense Americans address the real disease, I don't quite see how replacing Obama will accomplish squat. As things stand, we are not ruled or guided by elites, but by rats run rampant. Unless and until something catalyzes the attention of Americans, I don't know how we're going to disinfect D.C. Maybe some movement or consensus will build through town meetings, the internet, and Tea Parties.
Common sense Americans are going to need to coalesce at a grass roots level. Like an anti-union union, built on an ideal of liberty instead of entitlement. Obama is just one face among many two headed snakes with split tongues. Everytime a Yal-ard is appointed, the strong and reasonable presumption is that the appointee serves an international corporatist agenda that is anti-America and anti-liberty. Fed up enough yet? Stock up on disinfectant, i.e., writing, marching, protesting, and voting.

As Americans, we join together in social contract with the State to promote the general welfare and provide for the common defense. This is more in respect for a kind of Kantian Categorical Imperative. We did not join to promote any person's specific welfare. We did not join to surrender -- either to majorities or to elites -- the right to decide for ourselves which charitable functions we should support. We did not join to finance the State in undermining the charitable functions we do choose to support. We did not join to have elites substitute their secular interpretations of moral commandments for the commandments we have already received and adopted and which are consistent with our own higher insights about the Source of morality.
The man who knocks on my door and says "I'm from the government and I'm here to ensure your social justice" is a servant for a usurper. Americans gave him no such authority. It is one thing for government to aspire to ensure equality of opportunity; it is another thing for government to aspire to ensure equality of results. One promotes human dignity; the other debases human dignity.
We have not given any hierarchical church or secular charity any power to levy taxes to see to “social justice.” Nor have we given any hierarchical church any such power through any indirect mode. Any authority or church that wants to inspire people to give for “social justice” needs to inspire them -- not to contrive ways to promote governments that force them. "Social justice" badinage in the service of government is actually prostitution of morality and a debasement of God. It is evil.
Obama attended Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years, where he was marinated in Black Liberation Theology. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_theology: “Salvation is freedom from the oppression and pertains to blacks in this life. Proponents of black theology are concerned specifically with the political and theological aspects of salvation more than the spiritual. In other words, salvation is physical liberation from white oppression, or "The white enemy" (Cone) rather than freedom from the sinful nature and acts of each individual person. Presenting heaven as a reward for following Christ is seen as an attempt to dissuade blacks from the goal of real liberation of their whole persons.”
Since being elected, Obama has not felt so much need to find a new church. Apart from Obama’s obvious talent as a poseur, I’m not quite confident how he can be a racial healer and unifier, having been so long exposed to notions of “the white enemy.” Nor do I quite get how Jesus should want to pit race against race.
We bring these people over to "educate" in our "finest schools." Actually, what goes on is this: Our "finest schools" pander to them. Thus, they establish contacts and networks. Then they return and spread the word that we are essentially begging to be undermined. At some point, one should ask: Is the ethos that is institutionalized at our Ivies treasonous to American liberty? What could any traitor to American liberty do that could be more efficacious against us than what our Ivies have been doing? And how many of these Btards do we need on our Supreme Court?
For warped commie minds, the end of equality in material redistribution is so pure that no means for achieving it is out of bounds. They are so blinded by their cause that they cannot appreciate what an indecent affront it is to human dignity to force the equal redistribution of material entitlements. Having sanctioned force, they are not at all shy to exploit opportunities for lying, cheating, and stealing. Conservatives are only starting to realize that Progressive Commies have not the least intention of playing by Marquis of Queensberry rules.
Anti-semitism is a symptom of mind parasitism. International Corporate Communism and National Socialism (god-nihilism) and Jihadism (god-monopolism) are mind parasites. One is blind to the light; the other is blinded by the light.
These mind parasites have “progressed” to transform large sections of humanity into moral zombies, with no compunction against lying, cheating, stealing, and terrorizing. What can be done, once a critical mass of humanity is transformed into moral zombies by mind parasites?
Well, this much is clear: we cannot defend against them by opening our borders, adopting their laws, or – in the name of political correctness and multi culti tolerance -- refusing to recognize them for what they are.
Above all else, we should have learned that much from the experience of the Jews. Yet, here we are, kowtowing yet again to moral rationalizations of zombies.
The key question for our times is: Have tea partiers grown sufficient backbone in time? As Arizona goes, so will go America.
TOBAL -- with tip of hat to Jimmy Hatlo (RIP), "there oughta be a law": Problem is, every sentence of law needs seven more to explain it, and each of them needs seven more, and so on. Laws, rules, loopholes, and lies, how many maggots begot the flies? Less lawyering, fewer lawyers, more decency: How to get that is the issue. Merely to pile ever more laws on top of a poor foundation of citizens will not prop us up. Maybe that law is best that needs lawyers least.
Progs want to put the masses into corrals. Among the masses, a lot of people are finally waking up to that. The response of the Progs is to force a stampede into box canyons, by running in fresh cattle. Their message is: Yield and be corralled, or be run over. Our message is: You have not the least idea what forces you're playing with.
Patriots who love liberty will lose the America that avails liberty to them and their progeny, unless they begin to take steps to politically neuter and disenfranchise the slackers and abusers, and those who indoctrinate them, whose antics are calibrated to infest and degrade the republic and its fundamental institutions.
Why should there be representation without taxation? Why should anyone who doesn’t pay income taxes be entitled to vote? Why should children be full citizens merely because they are delivered in an American emergency room? Why should anyone whose body is polluted with mind numbing drugs be entitled to vote? In respect of more decent, respectable, and sustainable priorities, why should we have anything more than a bare minimum, no-frills safety net for such people? Those are the very voters who will use their votes to destroy liberty and to change America into a banana regime.
But why should America, merely to keep banana regimes company, crawl down to live in their communal holes with them? The lesson was learned at America’s earliest founding: Respect the value of deferred gratification and hard work in order to carve a life for yourself out of the wilderness -- or suffer privation. As a result, predominately Protestant groups tended to prosper more under capitalism than did Catholics or collectivists.
If we allow our voting majority to tip to collectivists who expect to get entitlements for nothing, American liberty will falter and likely fall. It may already be too late. Regardless, we should at least do what we can. If nothing else, a lesson should be preserved.
Michael Medved keeps coming across all reasonable like. As if. As if Obama is no different from LBJ and Carter. Maybe even less leftist. As if commie fascists were not rampant in Obama's admin. As if billionaire cronies had not made "progress" enough to be writing Obama's agenda. Hell, they may even rationalize that there is no choice, if we are to be saved from our own excesses. After all, they know best what is necessary to save mother earth. So what's the harm in reducing most human beings to servitude and mind surrender? (sarc) In any event, Islamofascists have laid the "scientific" groundwork to demonstrate how to subjugate some three billion minds to zombiefied willingness to cheer or watch the infliction of all manner of hideous affronts to basic human decency and mind freedom.
Unless one is deaf, blind, and dumb, one cannot escape that the regime being fronted by Obama is engaged in a blitzkrieg attempt to level the middle class via fascist crony capitalism. The regime will pull out every stop until the deed is done. Once the American middle class is cooked, all others will fall. Right now, Americans are becoming aware at the same time the cages are drawing down. If we don't get fully aware PDQ, there will be no way to reverse the new socialist order, which will be fronted by governments, but run by crony corporatists.
Increasing the footprint of government is hardly a solution. Every time people get the brainy idea to solve problems by increasing the size of the public sector and passing more laws, the unintended consequences are almost always onerous enough to support a reasonable argument that the new law made things worse. There are three main problems with increasing the power of government, relating to: Initiative, Responsibility, and Knowledge.
First, governmental employees tend to get paid whether or not they do the work or solve the problem. So Initiative declines, and with it effectiveness and efficiency.
Second, each employee up the chain of supervision tends not to want to take Responsibility for sticking his neck out in any way that may make his next higher superior feel uncomfortable about his neck. There is little reward for common sense, and certainly not for profit making. Few governmental employees will take responsibility for trying to exercise discretion or judgment that is not specifically approved within a pre-written rule. That sort of behavior tends to be punished, not rewarded. This is how we get first graders sent home and suspended for things like bringing aspirins or long scissors to school.
Third, governmental employees are more beholden to rules than to learning or thinking. Not having a profit-making motive, they tend not to be motivated or equipped to bring knowledge to bear at the point of feedback where Knowledge then being acquired would be most opportune.
IOW, governmental workers naturally incline to the dull, the evasive, and the ignorant. Few except naïve adolescents think increasing governmental regulations tends to be a good way to improve society.
Example: Suppose a farm animal were to get loose onto a freeway, with the result that a couple of vehicles smash, leaving four people dead. In the process, $3000 worth of damage is done to a guardrail. The owner of the farm animal takes bankruptcy and is judgment proof. The insurers for the drivers pay out their limits. You might think the government should just eat the $3000, rather than spend more than a hundred hours trying to figure out how to try to collect from the estates of the deceased persons and their bereaved family representatives. Likely you would be wrong. Why? Because no one in the governmental process will likely be authorized or willing to say, “Hey, we have more important stuff to do.”
I suspect this kind of situation if endlessly repeated. Of course, creating an oversight committee to explore how to improve the situation would likely add another level of inefficiency. Why? Because every new governmental supervisor will naturally want to expand his fiefdom!
Unfortunately, adolescent voters think Reagan was a cynic, rather than a wise man who was looking out for America. Government is not the solution; government is the problem.
The way Slick Willie frees himself of constraints of principles is by pretending to feel the pain of others. The way Obama voters try to absolve themselves of responsibility for preserving human freedom and dignity is by pretending to feel the earth's pain. This is their cover for advocating for partial birth abortion, apologizing for Islamofascist brutalities, promoting free sex and dope for everyone, claiming entitlement to be supported cradle to grave, and refusing to grow up by sticking it to The Man. Like, just recycle, man.
Obama appeals to kindergarten-minded voters who believe people are fundamentally good, that all America needs to do is to present a good example, be fair, show respect, bow, not incite arms wars by trying to fortify ourselves, and teach people to be tolerant, to give up their guns, and to talk about the audacity of hope.
But I expect everyone who has served time in prison knows that is a complete crock. More than any other candidate, I suspect Obama received more money from corporatist investors in his campaign. I suspect the difference between many of those people and the small time crooks that fill prisons is that they are smarter, have better lawyers, and have resources to grease loopholes and authorities. IOW, they read weakness even quicker than prison thugs.
Unless Obama truly is an idiot, he should know that. If so, his stance is purely to con the adolescents who empowered him. Question: Can we reasonably hope that even Obama's base is getting wiser? After all, they have nowhere to go in wisdom except up.
