There abides no quantitative without a supporting qualitative:
THING IN ITSELF: A Source thing-in-itself would have nothing against which to in-form or measure its chronology, locus, size, mass, density, direction, charge, or even any particular spin within any field. It would have no means by which to distinguish any particular aspect from any field aspect. In itself, it would not see or be seen. It would exist as a conceptual point, but, absent some means for projecting beyond itself, with no means even to conceptualize or experience itself. Its existentiality would seem to require that it must have capacity, that is, capacity to project beyond itself. In that event, it would not be a thing in itself. It would be a thing that would be a thing in itself if it did not have capacity to project. Given capacity to project, the Source is a thing which is immeasurable, but which has capacity to project. Although immeasurable, it need not be un-intuitable among perspectives of its projections, nor need it be without projective purpose and interest.
.
PERSPECTIVES CONTEMPORANEOUS WITH PROJECTIONS: Having nothing to spin, the Source would only project relativistic spins. That is, spins that relate and measure within spins, but that would not abide as spins, absent some level (however primitive) of accompanying, relational, interpretive appreciation (that is, subjective qualitative consciousness of the relationally quantiative spinning). Every projection of a relativistic spin is necessarily and contemporaneously accompanied with some level (however primitive, transitory, fleeting, or unaware of itself) of subjective, qualitative, sub-conscious appreciation. As the guiding purposefulness of the Source unfolds, such primitive perspectives of beingness would evolve to higher levels of self awareness and awareness of other perspectives. Such higher awareness is not confined to carbon 14 organisms or the human form. Eventually, perspectives will consciously participate in designing their own evolution.
.
RENORMALIZATION OF PERSPECTIVES OF PROJECTIONS: A thing immeasurable to its projections may project relations. Relations would unfold and be defined by form-ulas (algorithms). Formulas would be conservational in respect of equations. Perspectives that bind with and inhabit such projections of forms would necessarily renormalize to the formulas of such forms. For the same formula to apply to all perspectives that experience it, the formula would necessarily renormalize recessions and regressions, much as a rainbow (or the "edge" of the cosmos) recedes as one tries to approach it. Or as experience of the speed of light renormalizes to appear constant to each observer, regardless of the observer's relative locus, direction, or speed. The fact that objectively experienced spins are necessarily accompanied in some respect with subjectively experienced perspectives implicates: That every unfolding of an objective system is normalized and synchronized in respect of a shared system (either manifest or potential) of subjective (conscious or subconscious) perceptions. This RENORMALITIVE EFFECT seems to unfold in tandem with what is often called the Observer Effect.
.
DUALITY OF PROJECTIONS: Projections would not be measurable in themselves. Their quantitative measure would be subjectively and qualitatively related, interpreted, and renormalized to the perspectives of recorders and observers.
.
SIMULTANEOUS CO-DEPENDENCE OF QUANTIFIABLE SPIN AND QUALITATIVE SPIN PERCEIVER: No spin is effected without perspectives being simultaneously bonded to it, to renormalize the spin, and to renormalize their perspectives to it. Except as God splits perspectives among particular iterations, there is no basis by which to effect relations of spins among and within spins. For each spin, there abides, at some level, a subjective perspective or set of perspectives that bonds and renormalizes in respect of it. Relativistic Spins do not exist as things in themselves. Without qualitative appreciation, there would be no existential means or meaning for any renormalization. Relativistic spins exist only in respect of a renormalizing Curvature, which has existential meaning only in respect of a shared colony of subjective perspectives of consciousness. Without subjective, qualitative apprehension and appreciation, there would be no interpretation of any renormalization. There abides no quantitative without a supporting qualitative, and no qualitative without a supporting quantitative. The quantiative and the qualitative flux together. Were they to meld into one, they would annihilate.
.
FICTITIOUSNESS OF ENTROPY: No spin occurs without simultaneous entailment of particle, field, and perspective. This implicates point of view, frame of reference, and purposeful entanglement. Each spin eventually disintegrates from others, expands relationally outward, and seems to dissipate. All perspectives that happen to be oriented to a frame of reference that implicates an outbound spin system will interpret their general situation, apart from observers' resistent efforts, as becoming more disordered and dissipate. Much as a ball tossed across a Merry Go Round will fictitiously appear to the riders as taking a curved path relative to their ride. Every perspective that shares a cone of experience or system of relativistic spins will sense itself, with the expansion of its experience of time, to be in-form-ationally and spatially expanding away from other systems. Every perspective will interpret the cosmos as expanding into entropic dissipation. However, it is only the perspectives that are dissipating outbound. The process of cosmic projection may well consist of a series of ever-replacing, self-encased, interpretive-bubbles of projections of spins. As each furtherest outbound bubble dissipates, it is burst and replaced with a next outbound bubble, and so on. The wider relation between the bubbles, which is not directly and precisely measurable from within any one bubble, may be generally measured, interpreted, and intuited. This may be "Dark Substance" (dark energy and matter). There is no "real force of entropy." Rather, entropy is a trick of perspective and perception. It seems the Source's Projection of Cosmic Bubbles of Spins continues as an un-ending System of Ever Unfolding Purposeful Appreciation.
.
PHASE SHIFTING: Things-in-themselves do not become entropically less organized, becasue there is no such thing as a thing in itself. What becomes less organized is an appearance of expansion, such that organizations of things appear to stretch into dissipation (unless the dissipation is resisted). Countering such general appearance of expansive dissipation and disorganization, there abide local appearances of synhronization towards pattern symmetry. This is because spins that are relationally experienced in respect of expressions of particle-fields seem to pull one another into patterned or charged alignment (like high and low air pressure systems as they generate hurricanes and tornados). Thus, there is a constant and continuous reconcilation of apparent forces and phasings of expansion versus pattern making.

Greater insult have no evil than to offer up Hilary and Christie as choices for President.
Before we lose all hope, maybe we should try to "light a few candles." There are as many or more liberty lovers and liberty literates in America as there ever have been. And, if nothing else, the nature and extent of the challenge is becoming ever clearer to many people, especially those who comment at A.T.
.
Below, I have set out some thoughts at length ---intending them more as reminders for myself than expecting many people to wade through them.
*****
.
To my sense, the foremost challenge is to recognize, mark, and face the beast that now has America and the world in its crosshairs. The CronyPeople who man and fund that beast are formidable, and they believe much more in their entitlement to rule than they do in American ideals of decency, dignity, family, republic, opportunity, and liberty.
.
Almost everyone knows that leaving decisions to mob masses is a bad idea. However, allowing competent, morality-respecting, thinking, middle-class strivers to participate is a good idea. The middle class tends to be better educated, more resourceful, more independent minded, and more in tune with concerns of human decency and good will and good faith. More so than godless, narcissistic, overly-pampered, entitlement-expecting, affluenza-suffering, ism-eggheaded elitists.
.
Problem is, elitists no longer believe that. Rather, they believe the middle class should be humored when convenient, but otherwise ignored. They believe all important decisions should be made solely by the elite class. Thus, the middle class is regulated, shackled, spied upon, taxed, duped, divided, blamed, ridiculed, reviled, and farmed. Even its basis for assimilating beliefs in moral principles is reviled and ridiculed. Knowitall scientists want to replace middle class participation in contemporaneously unfolding determinations with a "neural science of morality." They want to collapse spiritual morality into scientific practicality.
.
Some among the ScienceClass know, in logic, that this is not really possible. However, in force and duplicity, they expect it is possible. And boy! is the CronyClass that is served by the ScienceClass stocked high with means, funds, institutions, and memes (AGW) of force and duplicity.
.
The CronyMethod needs to be identified. First, Americans need to know that EVERY institution of significance serves this beast. In banking, education, government, courts, media, foundations, and mega churches. This beast's powers of recruiting Judas sheep, funding, duplicity, and force are totalitarian in nature. Most insidious is how the CronyBeast always manages to hoodwink Americans by presenting us with political choices between agents who have been approved by the Cronydom. These agents need not know they have been approved. They need only demonstrate a life of loyalty to cronies. The Cronydom recruits, finances, and makes favorably famous those who demonstrate capacity to kiss the little people in front, to keep them confused and off balance, while stabbing them in the back. The Cronydom knows how to find, reward, and promote those who know to bow to the most superior corruption. It calls such people "geniuses."
.
What the thinking middle class wants does not factor, except for being diverted. The Cronydom plays politics as a divide and rule Kabuki show. The show is absorbing, but it is all ruse -- puppet shadows projected on a cave wall, by puppeteers. No CronyApproved candidate need win the hearts of the voting public. He need only please his bill-paying masters and beat the "lesser of evils." Using this recipe of bread and circuses, the Cronydom ensures Americans will never have a viable choice for a candidate who would actually represent the American Ideal, as opposed to the CronyAgenda.
.
As the Cronydom consolidates its control, more and more Americans are waking up to it. They are seeing that very few candidates can be trusted to be other than Judas sheep. They are seeing that the candidates among whom they are given to choose do not really intend to represent approximately 75 percent of Americans. Rather, a mere tenth of one percent runs the show. 40 percent are so ignorant as to want to marry the government (to have access to approved dope and condoms). They are conditioned to have little clue how to raise responsible children. Another 35 percent have been educated, but maliciously misinformed. However, they are waking up.
.
The Cronydom's strongest point, its malicious and narcissistic evil, is also the other side of the coin of its weakest point. More and more ordinary Americans are waking to the fact that the Cronydom cannot sustain a decent civilization. As the CronyGov lies to prop up its lies, its mask slips. Our problem is to pull the mask down faster, and to have something in place to replace the Cronydom when its evil edifice falls.
.
What is needed is to revive respect for individual responsibility, enterprise, and familial values. That's the only viable way to reduce the footprint of the big government Cronydom. This cannot be done under Big Socialism. And Big Socialism cannot be replaced with moral values without means for assimilating moral values. For civilizing purposes, it is more important to assimilate sensible, qualitative values than it is to try to reshape thinking people's minds to believe literalistically in quantitative contradictions about spirituality. Humanity need not give up the inspiring symbols and hymns of the New Testament. After all, some aspect of the Source inspired those. However, humanity does need to make metaphorical peace with its concepts about God. That is, if humanity wants to communicate common sense among thinking, responsible Americans. There needs to be an inspired, moral revival, founded on respect for God, that does not insist on governmental indoctrination that would try to make people take the metaphors of the New Testament as being as quantitatively and scientifically reliable as they are qualitative.
.
Ordinary Americans need to apprehend: First, that a beastly Cronydom is rampant in the world. Second, that a revival of decent morality is of paramount importance. The alternative is mass surrender to laws concocted by governments that are little more than agents of Evil. As people return in new appreciation to spiritual roots, they will recognize the threat, and God will guide hearts that are receptive to good faith to ways to confront the Evil Cronydom. (Mr. Obama and Mr. Soros, tear down this evil insistence on reducing people to sheeple!) Being receptive to Spiritual Re-enlightenment will entail finding ways to take the buyng and selling of politicians off the auction block. It will also entail defending borders against illiterates of liberty, auditing the Fed, and making those who would buy political favors suffer extreme political prejudice.
The media is owned and the "journalists" want to keep their jobs. Conservatives know what is wrong, but cannot get publicity or support to get their people on the ballot. The only publicity CronyMedia gives to Conservatives is bad publicity. The publicity it gives to Progs tends to be filtered publicity. EstablishmentCronies fix the game so that our choices are between RinoProgs and DinoProgs. The game will continue to be fixed until Conservers of Liberty can establish a third party of American Principles. Once immigration is "reformed," the game will never be fixed, short of secession or revolution.
More people are becoming unbalanced. This is because gov has replaced parents, and gov makes for a rotten daddy. Prog cronies have manufactured this situation, and now they want to protect us against it. How? Why, with more gov.. We are in a death spiral to serf city.
If your belief in "humanity" is real, not just a contrivance to personal as opposed to social gain, then "humanity" is just your substitute for "god." You are still faced with the problem of attracting people to forums (secular churches?) to inspire, assimilate, and work out their competing and cooperating interests. Except, you will lack the rich traditions and metaphors of the New Testament. You will be like Robespierre, trying to sell a cult of the Supreme Being (celebrating around the festivus pole with the airing of grievances and feats of strength) with new slogans by untrusted radicals substituted for familiar religious parables, with scientists pretending to have settled the "science of morality," as they have idiotically tried to do with global warming. When you say, well, "for the greater good" etc., you bring in a train of confusion posturing as faux-rigorous definitions, that always collapses upon examination into not being rigorous after all. Instead of authoritative priests, you will substitute authoritative profs, who are often more bookish than conversant with people's actual concerns. The biblical ideas of family and golden rule have served civilization well. The bookish, radical, socially inexperienced profs (how many have raised well adjusted children?) are tearing that asunder. Whatever it is that they expect to rebuild once they have collapsed society, it will take flight at the first hard push. If humanity is just your name for god, pretending it is not accomplishes little. If humanity is not your name for god, then individuals will always ask: Since I am human, why should not my interests just as well always prevail, push come to shove? Then we are right back to the cronydom, with cronies grooming, using, and abusing sheeple. IOW, when I am not inspired to believe you are true to your humanity-god, then I am not inclined to follow you into any radical effort. That is, unless I were myself a deceiver who expected to reap rewards by joining in duplicity against my fellow citizens. Whatever the name for it, the Source has inspired a rich tradition of Western hymns that testify to its potential for inspiring awe. Why throw all that out? If the literalism of some sects is unappetizing, then why not simply relate to the Source in the wisdom of its various metaphors, without throwing out all that is beautiful in order to chase after a festivus pole? The Judeo-Christian tradition offers numerous and rich bases for inspiring and assimilating values, under a Constitutional Federal Republic, one nation, under God, without needing to wash the entire construct away and begin anew. If Thomas Jefferson, even as a deist instead of as a theist, could find meaning in the metaphors and parables of Jesus, I see little reason to suppose other intelligent thinkers should be unable to find valuable meaning. We communicate in language, which is built on history and tradition. Esperanta and the cult of Scientific Humanism may seem to grand designers like improvements. Less so to those who value the entirety of our beingness, including how it connects, as we go "forward," in the metaphors of our past.
Islam is based in materialism and sexism. There is no choice to become an unbeliever. A dogma that relates mainly to materialism and which you are forced to pretend to profess is not in any meaningful sense a believed "religion." As to the abuses of Christianity, those were mainly before the Enlightenment and occurred at a time when some nations still conflated religious mores with secular law. Science started from alchemy, but no thinking person demeans modern scientists as alchemists, except perhaps as metaphorical insult to Warmists.
When the prevailing philosophy is that there abides no moral Reconciler, the cronies become their own mini gods. Then all is permitted. http://www.northkoreanchristia...
The problem with anarchists is that they lack effective means for dealing with cronies. As for cronies, ye shall always have cronies among you. You won't arrive at a state of anarchy by revolution. You will just get different ruling cronies. You will still have the problem of what to do about godless, lying cronies. Actually, I am sympathetic with part of your program: To try as much as decently possible to eliminate governments and laws and replace them with customs. Where I differ is this: If you want customs and mores to replace laws, then you need concepts and forums around which to inspire the assimilation of such customs and mores. You need an assimilating foundation of inspirational figures of speech. And I don't believe you can get there by starting your foundation out on a denial of a Reconciling Assimilator. Militant libertines and anarchists need to make their peace with God. Otherwise, they are mere wind, howling after receding definitions.
Their theories tend to be rationalizations of personal wannas. This is because they have no insight about God, so they pretend to make God irrelevant by making themselves their own little Gods. When you think of a lot of little gods discussing how politics should be made "fairer," you tend to get a sense of their unreliability and duplicity. Actions are part of the logos. Look to their acts. What do you find among Leftists? Dopers, addicts, felons, manipulators, liars, naifs, narcissists, diversity-dividers, race-baiters, rabble-rousers, property-liberators (flash mob thieves) and judas sheep. What do you find among rightests? Traitors, globalists, cheap bribe artists, people-farmers, sociopaths. What do you find among political transvestites? Ism eggheads. Let"s get back to conserving decency, dignity, family, enterprise, and liberty -- under God. No more tax incentives for depravities. No more tax salaries to teachers for grooming perversions.
In economic terms, a leftist is a mental child who believes government is his daddy and should be obliged to take care of him. A rightest is someone who, in financial terms, agrees to "take care of" leftists -- as sheeple. The problem with both is lack of sense of moral responsibility to anything higher than themselves. Neither a leftist nor a rightest really believes he should himself help the government take care of anyone else. Both look to the government for personal gain. Both deny any role of morality, because neither has much comprehension of morality. Rather, both lose themselves in pursuing and defining material purposes. Morality pertains to that which "should" (or should not) be done. Every decision about what to do tends to carry both a moral (qualitative "why") side and a practical (quantitative "how") side. Leftists and rightests tend to be blind to the qualitative side. Both tend to be so into their personal material wannas that they lack insight, intuition, and empathy into their relationship with a higher Reconciler. Indeed, raising that issue tends to drive them batty, so they try to drive it from the public square, as they continue to seek political coherence and consistency in purely materialistic, financial, quantitative, fantasy definitions and isms. This moral blindness is why RinoRightestCronies and DinoLeftistSheeple will always tend to align against Conservers of Liberty.
To me, a leftist is a delusional naif who falls into evil because he doesn't believe in it. A rightest is a person who tends towards sociopathy and embraces evil because he wants to rule and he does not believe in goodness. A conservative tends to be a person who believes in a Source of unfolding aspiration towards goodness, who is guided by apprehenson of that, as opposed to any "ism." To a conserver of liberty, the key test is: What is needed to help move towards a decent civilization that accords human freedom and dignity? It is an unfolding process, not usually a revolution just for the hell of it. Rather, revolution is appropriate when a decent vanguard is in place to confront a series of unendurable insults to human freedom and dignity. We seem to be getting closer to that prospect.
There are apologists who think crony billionaires earned their status fair and square, and who think that the cronies who buy and sell our politicians and reduce America do so only to protect the wealth they "fairly" made. Just like there are apologists arguing that Justice Roberts "trapped" Obamacare. These apologists are without an effective backbone or moral compass. Fair is made foul, and foul is made fair. They are like Shakespeare's Hamlet, to whom, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
In considerable part, Millennials are responsible for having voted Obama into office -- the man of trillions upon trillions of dollars. Yes, the Boomers started the moral slide that brought us here. And they tend to be the idiots perpetuating the myth that morality has little to do with our finances, as well as the idiots "educating" Millennials.. But it's past time for everyone to wake up and start expecting people to take responsibility as individuals, rather than marrying the government.
Cronies have exported cheap labor jobs where labor is cheapest. They do this even as they act as if they support Dims and unions in the U.S. Thus they maliciously dupe Americans to facilitate their continued exportation of resources, industries, and jobs. Of the countries to which the new jobs are going, how many are really moving towards free enterprise as opposed to crony despotism? I thought it a bit strange that Lifson glibly conflated globalism and capitalism, as if both were conservative values. The One World Open Society is more a Soros/Obama concoction. Marxist Global "fairness" is precisely what the Left is all about. To my lights, reducing the masses to a lowest common denominator of cheap labor, without regard to whether the labor markets are supplied by representative republics versus illiterate serfdoms under thumbs of cronies, is NOT commensurate with any party that seeks to honor human freedom and dignity. Especially if the crony owned serfdoms invest their gains in buying political influence in America. To be clear, I would be inclined to favor efforts to help societies that want to move towards modern models of decency. Emphatically, however, that does NOT include Islamic nations or crony-princeling despotic nations. How will enriching such nations and sharing technologies with them foster civilizing freedom and dignity? Well, it won't. So I don't quite get the idea that globalization into backwaters is per se a good thing. I do get that crony en-serfers want to indoctrinate us that it is a good thing. To me, it sounds more like valuing security over liberty, which is precisely what billionaires want: Security so they don't have to rub elbows or contend with the other classes, except as lackeys who are humored to believe they count. The Real Politic of International Elitism. Given the easy profits in crony duplicity, it's getting to where you need a WWE playbook to have much chance to tell who are the good guys. Crony capitalism (buying and selling of politicians and governments) is not free enterprise, nor is it consistent with representative republicanism or the conservation of human liberty.
A Conservative is needed to run on principles: That more authority and responsibility will be returned to states, localities, and individuals. That the trend towards multi-national organizations needs to be put on hiatus. That the Fed should be audited. That color blindness is a worthy goal. That borders are as fundamental to a nation as skin is to a human being. That the First Amendment does not grant blanket protection from being exposed to the ideas of others, including their religious ideas. That the national government has no business providing tax incentives to constructs that are detrimental to civilizing, family values. That government ought not use science to construct Trojan Horses for undermining individual freedom and responbsibility by rationalizing excuses for ever more governmental intrusions. That the republic is at grave risk because of disloyal and amoral international crony corporatist collectivists bent on farming people as livestock. That buying and selling politicians and governments is neither free enterprise nor free trade. That governmental insults to citizens' privacy tend not to secure us but to en-serf us. That unearned welfare for able bodied people tends to produce a society of derelicts and excuse-entitlement-mongers, even as it undermines charities that may otherwise do good work reclaiming lost derelicts. That too many institutions are under the thumbs of powerful cronies who do not have the best interests of any decent civilization at heart. That international treaties ought never be considered as overriding the Constitution. That the world does not owe anyone a living, and mother nature as often as not tempts evil combines, especially in governments.
I suspect any restriction under the Commerce Clause is more than swallowed by the expansion of authority under the power to tax. Roberts has taken us further down the road towards rendering the Constitution meaningless, nearer the point of turning us into the United State, singular. Next, Roberts will be tasked to rationalize a single payer system as a tax.
So Roberts really saved the sheeple from the wolf on Pennsylvania Avenue? On that track, Dr. Pangloss could say that Neville Chamberlain was actually a genius for having foresight to appease Hitler in order to trap him into totally discrediting the Nazis, thereby causing the election of Churchill --- even though Churchill was soon followed by socialistic ushers to the decline of Britain.
The ProgPlan has all along been to push-pull the U.S. into a national, single-payer system, the Constitution (per Pelosi -- "Are you kidding?") be trashed. When that is done, most lofos will be down with it. They won't care that local government will have been trashed, as well as individual responsibility. So long as they get drugs and condoms, they won't care. Hilary can run on appointing one more Justice, to pave the way to every kid-socialist's fantasy.
Our society has given the feds our children. You don't give wolves nearly complete control over the dumbification and sexual grooming of your kids and your military, and then expect the kids to learn from the hard consequences. After all, we were supposed to be the adults.
The tipping point will come when even the best recognize that all their efforts cannot suffice to save the republic. At that point, sinisterism will have won the day and everyone who survives will find it has become a full time job just to survive. The walkers of the dead republic. Might make a good tv series. Yay, Obama! You go, girl.
The raw materials are still present. Much of the knowledge base is still intact. The trust in institutions is gone. The power in evil combines is agglomerated. Power to manipulate trust in currency has been consolidated to cronies. Knowledge for how to do evil has skyrocketed. The material rewards for sinister people-farmers have pyramided. The masses at the bottom are without meaningful leadership and are feeling the accumulating and grinding weight of demonic sinsiterism.
I don't see how it will happen either. But it will happen someday. Faith in a Power of positive thinking will hasten that day. DD -- Happy, happy, happy. Happy warriors. Good quackers for bad. The signal will come after the final insult, and the faithful will gird up their loins and be ready to answer.
Surely Obama has read Burns.
The best laid schemes o' Mice
an' Men,
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
(The best laid schemes of
Mice and Men
oft go awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!)
Robert Burns, To a Mouse (Poem, November, 1785)
So what was and is Obama's back up plan? Well, his back up plan was and is the same as every despot's: Overwhelming POWER. That's why "no sweatie da." Overwhelming power owns and operates our politicians and media against an idiotic and indoctrinated electorate. And when the establishment feels it doesn't have enough easily misled idiots, it simply buys and makes more. By printing money, keeping borders porous, calling for amnesty, and using mult-national organizations to undermine the bounds of nations. Give Big Brother enough power and everyone soon learns to love him, even while knowing Big Brother intends to pull the trigger.
What will emerge out of God's complexity to humble the Establishment's power mad hubris? I don't know, but it will taste like schadenfreude. When enough people start licking their lips, that's when the Establishment will panic, and it will fall from its own panic. Some people would put it like this: God will not be mocked.
People in government don't go into it in order to subsidize success. It tends to be better not to trust the government to do more than is uniformly known to be necessary. There are ways government could provide for decent single payer healthcare. But that would not happen in reality, and it would open the door to depredatons. Government is like a very dangerous drug, not to be taken except when quite necessary, and limited as prescribed.
When you destroy the industry-job creation machine, and when you have no qualms against creating fiat money forever (because the debt the world owes is only owed to the world -- lol), then it's less difficult to rationalize paying welfare forever. However, when you think beyond your nose and look behind the curtain, you know this is not sustainable. You know it is a policy that is based either in supreme ignorance or malicious deliberation. I doubt even Obama could be that ignorant, so I have to go with supremely malicious. Cloward-Piven. Reduce the people of the U.S. and of the rest of the world to the crony-owned people-farm. Dumbify the children. Lull the sheeple by telling them fairie tales about equality. Recruit Judas sheep by filling their heads about their "right" to take reparations from Whitey. Lie about soon to come free solar energy and machine handmaidens. Explain how property is theft because "you didn't build that." Explain how the elite cronydom needs its expensive stuff and vacations so it can refresh itself to better "serve" everyone else. All the better to farm you.
There is evil in the world. It is skilled and unrepentent about duping fools. Its carriers know how to stir up crap. They know how to pretend to be on your side, even as they spread lies about you. They are adept at using that technique against everyone. Even when people near them know them for what they are, they are skilled and remorseless about duping new authorities. The more our society pays vampires not to work, the more we train armies of skilled, remorseless, sociopathic, schizoid, me-first, evil crap slingers. Eventually, they elect one of their own to the WH.
"Libertarian" nowadays lets too much through the door. Some libertarians are among the best. I would call them the principled libertarians with Judeo-Christian scruples (even if without the literalistic belief system). Others, not so much. Lately, "libertarian" seems often to be cover for wolves bent on little more than undermining the fabric of society in exchange for a few cheap thrills. Especially when principled libertarians inadvertently give the cheap thrill seekers intellectual cover from which to snipe at all mores of decency.
The Four Freedoms (of speech, worship, from want, from fear) remind me, in their "affirmative action freedoms," of Cowslip's socialist warren in the children's book, Watership Down. Or any people farm or deer lease, where the critters are fed equally and kept safe. Safe, that is, except from the hunter-farmer-owner-cronies and their snares.
In Watership Down, Cowslip was the leader who treated everyone the same as he treated himself. His society was unable to develop any leaders who could speak for the citizens. The society's stories were all stale and politically correct. The society frowned upon naming the real threats (the snare farmers). Similarly, in Western Civ, it is frowned upon to name Islam as a scourge against human decency. Or to identify the RinoDino Establishment as a crony owned NWO, bent on reducing and farming every society and nation.
Obama smiles as if he would change our republic into a dystopic Cowslip Socialism, but the reality is he is weakening us in ways that can only invite Woundwart. Obama's appeal is to adolescent bunnies. Mother Nature isn't charmed or fooled. The author of Watership Down said it was only a story. True. Only a story for kids. As The Odyssey and the Aeneid were only stories.
Dim family values on parade: Ship Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. Ridicule adoption of black child. Celebrate homosexual marriage at Rose Bowl. Try to run Christian based show off tv. Find no fault with 90% of blacks voting Dim, but do fault Caucasians for adopting outside race and Republicans for not showing more ethnicity. Something deeply troubling seems to be wrong with these people.
News flash to Dims: Many among Minorities have been conditioned to seek affirmative action, but Conservatives are not into paying bribes for votes. The place for that is with the Dims. They're the ones whose family values are for sale. And that may be why you don't find as many among conservatives.
I prefer to trust my own reasoning and tend to distrust literalistic claims of revealed authority, although I often find much metaphorical wisdom in them. That said, I am looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T.... It is interesting. I had never before heard of Urantia.
Good points! I doubt math or science can settle the issue of "many bubbles and no god" versus "one God and many bubbles." Both are conceptual contrivances for modeling rationalizations. People who want to have no truck with God, in effect to be their own little gods, tend to prefer the first contrived conceptualization. However, for all we know, as our bubble dissipates, it is replaced and absorbed into the next. Whatever may have spun our perceptions of somethingness out of otherwise nothingness, some aspect about the spinning seems (teleologically?) to entice patterns toward complex symmetries, counter to conceptions about entropy. If acceleration due to gravity is governed by a constant, would not all perspectives that shared a cone of experience in space-time tend to be renormalized, so that all would tend to sense their own systems as accelerating and dissipating away from all others (regardless of "reality")? Would not the sense of entropy be secondary to the frame of reference with which the perceiver happens at such time and place to be identified? Conscious identity seems to be a weirdly receding property.
Conservatism is concerned with morality and family values, which would seem innate to a source of consciousness which purposefully seeks communion with civilized, intelligent societies. There is no room for such an idea of purposefulness in godless Darwinism or Scientism. The moral foundation of Darwinists can only be fraudulent, i.e, little more than pursuit of the longest, most intense orgasm. Hardly the basis to reason together in pursuit of decent civilization, as opposed to gangster people-farming. Unfortunately, many Darwinists (not all) tend to be impervious to such insight. Indeed, godless Libertines want little more than their deluded "right" to get high.
Forms and patterns change. If evolution only means change, then there is no sense in denying that changes occur. The more interesting question is: Are the changes Guided and renormalized under a process of appreciative feedback with a system Reconciler (a Mathematician)? Or Unguided and shaped only by a pre-set system of in-animated algorithms (Math)? Or pre-shaped and pre-determined, such that the process of selection is not really contemporaneous, but entirely preset?
I do not believe that question can be answered in math or science. I think the "answer" is equally valid (depending on purpose of application) in math and science under all three scenarios. (To my faith, the Mathematician is the projective source of math.) However, I believe an intuition or faith in the first scenario tends better to guide us to a sense of moral purposefulness, as we come together in good will and good faith in respect of it. I don't quite get how leaders can sensibly guide us to a sense of moral purposefulness when their foundational axiom is that there abides no basis for moral reconciliations of purposefulness. When that is their foundation, I tend to look for how they wear their masks and to what selfish ends.
"True Libertarianism!" Ah, books have been written. Unfortunately, not with much consistency about what "true libertarianism" is. Note: no one has liberty from parameters of nature. So, by "liberty" perhaps you are speaking of license to follow your feelings and wannas. Problem is, your feelings and wannas are shaped by your culture. There is no such thing as true feelings and wannas in and by themselves. You can't "liberate" them from a culture. And if you try, you get a mess. Sort of like we have now. Maybe Obama would like for us to try "true Obamacare?" Of course libertinism "works." It works to legalize pot and child abandonment, soon to replace the family with the state, and then it eventually replaces the state with sharia law. That indeed has been tried, and it does work. The problem is, is that what thinkers really want? Unfortunately, "elite" profs with "ism" answres tend to think no further beyond their noses and nostrums than the wayward kids they "teach." The approach of a conserver of liberty is not such an ism. It factors present practical realities into unfolding concerns. This is part of the reason why pie in the sky ism ideologues have the luxury of calling everyone who is not on board for their fantasy cruises "hypocrites."
It's not the legal right to do what they do that the militants want. What they want is not to be recognized as normal, but to forcibly require everyone else to recognize them as normal. This is promoted by Rose Bowl celebrations of "gay marriage," teaching children to think upon fecal sex as normal, suspending students who opine that it is not normal, and forcing taxpayers to fund this as diversity training and "support for our troops." The idiots who call this "libertarianism" could not be more wrong. This is in your face rapine of decency. A despotic boot on the face of humanity. Financed by elitist asses who think they know best. In its call for conservatives to roll over and take it, "Libertarian" seems to be the new dog whistle for "vanguard for gay goose steppers."
I think you are deluded if you believe there abides anything like a coherent and consistent philosophy of libertarianism. Libertarians are like communists in at least one respect: Both have a priori ideologies that imagine an ideal withering away of the state. In practice, both ideologies lead to quite the opposite of their ideals. I would credit this to failure to have grown up to have the least appreciation of practical reality.
As progress is made towards AI, programmers are learning how to overcome a priori, ideological regimentation, to allow systems to become more systematically self learning, self wiring, and self conserving. Social organizations may become more analogous to self healing organisms. Flex will be built in, to allow synaptic/signal surges in ways that can end-run minor stops, without melting down the organism as a whole. A decent, liberty loving society should be conservable, defensible, and have capacity for self surpassage. There is little that is decent, civilized or sustainable about little boys playing games of balls-out libertarianism.
Insanity, whether it wants to or not, will take the hand of despotism. Replacing families with the state is insanity that leads to despotism. The looney farm beckons. Fortunately, fiscal conservatives who are social libertines can often afford the path to replacing the state with the looney farm
Issues about the replacement of the family by the state were not pertinent to the time before the 60's because people then had not been made crazy since birth by commie media and academia. There is no issue more central to the preservation of a sensible republic than the separation of family and state. To say that conservers of liberty should stand mute and invisible while philosophical infantiles debase the republic with apologies for the state's dissolution and replacement of families is the height of moral insanity and the antithesis of any principled conservation of liberty.
The family is being replaced under our feet by people who practice and parade polyamory, adultery, and child abandonment to the state -- regardless of law. Deviants are taxing us in order to finance the state's grooming of our children to the lifestyles of the most irresponsible, of whom militant homosexuals tend to be emblematic. Squanderers are creating money out of air to convince a diversity of howling deviants that we owe them a living. The republic and the middle class are being deliberately destroyed in order to consolidate the rule of international elitists and to reduce the masses to a lowest common denominator of familial abuse. These are not just moral issues. They are issues about the survival of decent civilization. Boortz is a boor.
I think the Source is conservative. Matter and energy cannot signify except in obedience to a conserving, renormalizing algorithm, imposed by the nature/character of the Source. Our physically signified bodies are temporal, imperfect perspectives of the reconciling Signifier. If nature, as signified, were not bloody in tooth and claw, there would not abide a process for reconciling apprehensions and appreciations. As Grandfather said (paraphrased from memory) in Little Big Man: Thank You for my victories. And thank You for my defeats.
When our temporal projections are "conserved back," I suspect we are simply re-absorbed into the Signifier. I suspect we are recycled into projective consciousness. Maybe that is the Cherokee in me. Even if it took a trillion trillion years, it would seem no more than the blink of an eye. Or the time needed for an infant's vision of the world to take focus. I don't know this. But it makes more sense to me than an atheist's dogmatic statement that you only go around once. Moreover, churches, claverns, and forums are needed in order to assimilate and conserve companionship and civilization. People need places that can encourage them to come and reason together. And together to participate in the unfolding construction of meaningfulness in their lives, to open themselves to receive and respond to reasoned guidance. The alternative seems to be totalitarian mind regimentation imposed by atheistic or fundamentalist self-worshipping, elitist, morally-infantilized, hollow sociopaths.
I agree, except that I believe a fundamental, meta-impetus towards empathetic and "fair dealing" comes from a Source. But I agree that the Source can be heeded in fair dealing, regardless of whether one has ever given the Source a name. Dogs, bears, etc., can indulge in play and fair dealing --- when the whip of necessity for survival is relaxed. I don't believe it is necessary to proxy baptize infants and everyone else in order to "save" them. Even so, I would much, much, much rather have a Mormon Prez than a lying commie poseur atheist.
They are smart enough tactically to know what works best in the public square and what works best under cloak of darkness. They know how to advocate so as to wrap spiritual disease to make it look appealing: Groom kids to homosexuality under guise of advocating against bullying. Make entire races into illiterates of liberty by teaching them that they have no chance because Whitey has boxed them in. Teach them that Gov can print enough money so that existence itself owes everyone a good free lunch of a living. Ad infinitum. The grossest deceit is belief that evil does not exist in many sociopathic hearts. A wise parent teaches children how to out sociopaths. A majority never learn, so they continue to raise sociopaths to high posts, including the presidency.
I would say those who adhere to Christian values have a better claim on being fed up. They are not seeking to legislate against the expression of "atheistic values" in the public square. The thinkers among them are not seeking to convert the world into a lowest common denominator collective. They are not advocating for a "right" for homosexual teachers to groom new recruits. They are not seeking to replace the family with the state. They are not lost in bs elitist philosophy that imagines the law of the government has all the important answers and approaches. They are not so childish as to believe that diverse infiltration by Muslims and illiterates of liberty is a good thing. Personally, I think the "small minority" of push-back atheists have already pushed much too far. I think decent Americans rightly fear what the atheist in the WH may push us to next, when he gets his next big stupid childish idea that he thinks is "scientific" or "on the right side of his-story."
That's a way of looking at the situation. Another is that you channel a feeling of sovereignty because you are a projection of a reconciling Sovereign, evaluating perspectives from multitudinous, imperfect, morphing points of view. Maybe, from a higher level, entropy is a mass illusion, like a coriolis effect, while voluntary synchronization towards more re-normalizing, symmetrical expression of fluxing patterns is the superior "force."
These throwbacks surely know there are cameras everywhere. Any serious law enforcement effort should have little difficulty rounding them up, yet that does not happen. Apparently, they do not mind the threat of a criminal record, and the authorities do not want the expense of prosecuting and incarcerating them. The authorities and media do, however, have the resources to cajole decent society so it does not mobilize hate against them or their conduct. We are growing, supporting, training, and facilitating a rising ocean of depravity. Yet, the Prog version of intelligentsia shouts that it is bigoted to condemn them and it is impossible to legislate them into moral behavior. These throwbacks would have little to fear were they to organize flash mob invasions of suburban homes and street burnings of cars. The only reasons they do not are because they have not yet thought of it and malls presently offer easier targets. And, because many homeownwers have guns and guard dogs. However, few homeowners would risk firing upon a sudden invasion by 20 or more miscreants armed with dog tasers and brass knuckles. The Libertarians who say social issues are politically unimportant are beginning to seem like complete dunces. Meanwhile, idiot Libs think Conservatives are the problem.
When gov pretends to be an agent of charity, it pushes out charities (much as aid to Africa is so often taken by African thugs). When gov accords favors to one religion (Amish or Islam) and not to another (Catholic), then not only is gov not keeping itself separate from religion, but it is preferring and establishing one religion over another. The truth is, the First Amendment does not require a "wall of separation." It simply requires that gov not establish a state religion. However, Progism IS a state religion, which is ousting other religions, and which IS being established by the gov (established by taking over the schooling of kids and by importing liberty-illiterate voters). Progism has its dogma (political correctness), its priests (who attend its seminaries of elitist indoctrination), its high priests who communicate the daily homilies (talking points), its heresies (resistence to Prog scientism), its heaven (international socialism), its faith (that science can discover and replicate something like a morality neuron or gene), and its salvation (historical determinism towards the orgiastic collective).
No matter how much you give the jealous relative, they will never be content, and they will always be miserable and self loathing. How many of Obama's takers are content with their lives and what they stand for? What decent person wants to spend more than a few minutes with such miserable resemblers of humanity? Could Hilary, Ayers, Pelosi, or Sharpton ever be at rest if they were not working to make other people either miserable or dependent?
It is major folly to try to make Good Big Daddy out of the government. The effect is to promote government agents into organs of a false, dangerous, lying, secular, phony god, prancing about pretending to care for all the little folk. It's a god made of material that reduces to crap. To picture hell, simply imagine Hilary with sky the limit power. Elitist rulers are every bit as dangerous as libertine anarchists. We need government, but on a short leash.
Tax tobacco. Do not subsidize it. Protect kids against it. If used to the point of intoxication or public indecency, then make such public abuse a civil offense, subject to mandatory rehabilitation upon the third occurrence. As to making it illegal for adults, no! That is not the place for government. Libertines will argue that anti-discrimination laws and agencies should guarantee them equal protection, so that they should be goven quotas for hiring and admittance. That would be a bridge too far. Government has a place, but it must be kept on a short leash. The same may be said of other drugs and vices.
Progressive devolution will continue so long as people of good will fail to see and resist the evil. Socialism is a meme that favors the evolution of mutations that would be unfit, but for their usefulness for organizing demands for attention and care. Fairness for those with special needs is one thing. Claims for extra points for able bodied people is another. Socialism is a meme for converting meme drag into evolutionary drag. The socialism meme favors usage to convert each new negative social mutation into an argument for "reparations." When common sense falls under the accumulated weight of Orwellian reinterpretations of "fairness," civilization is reduced to predation by other political memes --- such as statist memes for imposing hierarchical, authoritarian, and totalitarian control. There is no real communism, but there is real nomenklatura, priestism, and mobsterism. Loose sand cannot stand against them. America has been eroded into diverse, loose piles of sand, fitted mainly for begging with loose affiliations of pity-mongers. We're getting prepped for the bagging.
Mark them. We have to identify their lies and their masters. We need to understand their agenda. We need to make them pay dearly when they call us whackobirds. When they say they will resist social-issue efforts (to keep the government from incenting gay and polygamous marriages as stalking horses for abusing children and inventing government funded benefits), we need to put them down --- not roll over. I am not saying to require them to run on incenting families. I am saying to require them to stop allowing government to incent the destruction of families. (This is harder, because the Establishment is using the Courts to accomplish the destruction, so Congress can act like there's nothing they can do about it.). Gov is accomplishing its destruction with intrusions into families, welfare, benefits for homosexual and polygamous relationships, funding coercively political speech to groom kids to try out deviant relationships, etc. Too often, when they say they don't want to run on social issues, what they actually mean is that they want to run on allowing gov to continue to incent and fund deviant interests. For pigs, there may be some truth in the idea that you can't legislate morality. But we don't have to fund pigs gone wild.
When Rinos say they can't run on common decency, what they mean is it's harder to get contributions when you go off the crony farm. I suspect funded, articulate, good faith Conservers of Liberty, who want to break the State from trying to marry everyone into its harem, would actually win in most districts. Its not the message of Conservatives that is the problem. It's the monopoly on the presentation, indoctrination, dumbification, intimidation, addictification, cannibalization of ordinary children and workers. Either decent Americans will see and rout the beastly forces that are circling and collecting, or decent civilization will be constricted and swallowed. The crisis is real, and failing to point it out in order to slow the frenzy of the snake does nothing to chase the snake back under its rocks.
The Rino Party is just the other head of a completely twisted two headed snake. Yes, it's the party where more Conservatives are found. But that does little good if our meeting there is kept shamed and silent just so we can continue to elect more leaders who want to keep us shamed, silent, shunned, and suspended. We need to speak and croak. Like Australian cane toads. When snakes swallow cane toads, the snake tends to die, and then the toad reemerges out the mouth of the snake. Let Conservatives raise a chorus of cane toads. When Rinos ridicule us, they need to be made to pay a heavy price. Let Christie's career die for their sins.
Neither the Rinos nor the Dinos are of a separate crime syndicate; they are just branches of one RinoDino Crime Syndicate. If there is a single issue, it is this: Do you want to marry a spouse, or do you want to marry the government? If you do not want to marry the government, there is no registered party that represents you. Both branches want open borders, cheap labor, perpetual addicts of individual and corporate welfare, and reliance on elitists for handouts and to corporatize the world. The Dinos do this by ridiculing the thinking middle class. The Rinos do this by pretending to humor the thinking middle class, while actually reviling it. The base for the Dinos consists of illiterate drunks and crackheads. The base for the Rinos consists of "sophisticated" alcoholics and cocaine connoisseurs. There is no registered party that represents the American ideal or good faith Americans. There is no advantage in electing Rinos. This is a truism: Until there is a registered party that represents good faith Americans in pursuit of the American ideal, we will stand no chance of conserving liberty for good faith, thinking members of the independent minded, middle class. Instead, we will have Dino pigs at the trough, and Rino pigs controlling the trough. Since they're both pigs, it's no wonder concerns about moral issues annoy them, so that they are both allied against ordinary citizens, who are unrepresented in their aspiration for better governance. That would be governance that does not affirmatively incent the de-definition and destruction of the family.
The problem is lack of funding to run in territories that have been overrun and are now controlled by gangs who intimidate or own all the local institutions and media. The Rino and Dino parties are simply the masks for some very corrupt gangsters. Getting the word out, when media is owned, is hard enough. Instilling common backbone is nearly impossible. We will need help from some people who have wealth and connections, whose souls have not yet flickered out. Otherwise, the "New Social Contract" will require that everyone self-drown into a collective whose perimeter is guarded by thugs, sort of like the far left utopia of North Korea. If the Second Amendment is lost, there will be no coming back, short of cataclysm.
Who are these "wise moderates? Well, they are neither wise, nor moderate. They are not wise enough to see the obvious: That using government tax money to fund the destruction of social values sucks in big government to replace the family. Replacing the family with big government is hardly "moderate." These moderates lack the sand even to be able to say "Hell no!" to the ar se wi pes who want to use government to force feed our kids with indoctrination that fecal sex among polygamous families wedded to the government for their support. So these cretins are hardly informed moderates, much less principled moderates. Rather, they are clueless, happy, Howdy Doody faces, rocking and waving on sticks, breezing along to get along, embodyng a medium for crones to wave their corruption, back and forth. The Rinos who want to reduce most Americans to social value moderates have all the moral gravity of a sucking void. Without dupes and moderates to facilitate their medium of exchange, they would have nothing. Christie looks big only because he is filled with a sucking void. He has all the moral gravity of Obama, which is to say --- NONE! And what do these Christie Rinos offer to replace American values? Borderless, boundaryless, worldwide, open, crony corporatism. Values? We don't need no stinking values. Nope. Let's make common cause with the lowest common denominator of worldwide Islam, degeneracy, and idiocy. Yup. Now that's quite a "philosophy" to get behind. All the better to self wrap ourselves as chopped steaks.
Surely, we have the capability to close the border and intercept unauthorized flights. If so, to have such capability and refuse to use it, to pay off oligarchs with cheap and illegal labor, is nothing short of beastly. Our rulers are using us like chopped steak.
The oligarchs who own the media do not care about the masses, except to milk them. Why, then, do their media so relentlessly favor Dims over Repubs? The reasonable conclusion seems to be this: The attack on strawmen, Rinos, is necessary to preserve the illusion that Dims are cared for, rather than merely milked. Every deviant group is sought out, agitated, organized, and promised free goodies. When the goodies are never as good as advertised, the strawmen are blamed. Elders among the strawmen know this, and so they have grown comfortable in the role. This game of crones would not work if everyone were organized into a handout seeking group. Crones only need 51 percent to be susceptible of beong led around by the nose, maybe with a few extra points for comfort. The upshot of this charade is this: Principled Americans who want to preserve a decent nation for freedom loving people are not only not represented --- they are slimed. It's past time to pull heads loose from elitist chains and look beyond the shadow kabuki show being projected on the cave. I understand that a lot of Worthless Dinos want to be led around by the nose. But it is dismaying when otherwise smart middle class thinkers allow themselves to be deceived to believe that government run trade policies are in the interest of Americans, as opposed to interests bent on tightening crone control.
I understand well enough to notice how crony corporatists run both parties to the detriment of decent civilization. I understand well enough to know that they would like the rest of us to entrust them to "look out for our best interests." Did Hayek advise the West to engage in free trade with countries, especially Muslim countries, that do not return the favor? It is quite apparent that the billionaires who can "swing shills both ways" and who run Obama understand protectionism quite well. Reverse protectionism, that is. They know how to regulate small business to death, and they know how to protect their grip on Congress by importing new voters (who truly are ignorant enough to believe that their best interests are being looked after). I understand enough to know better than to buy into an idea that a one trick pony panacea is a "philosophy."
Glisten czars to teach kids it's normal to have two daddies and to encourage sexual experimentation. Fed tax money to pay Fed benefits to same sex marrieds. Deprivation of free speech by suspending kids whose parents decline to raise them to accept same sex marriages as equal or normal. Holder saying Feds will recognize Utah same sex marriages for IRS and Fed benefit purposes, regardless of decision by Utah not to recognize them. Feds forcing marriage related service contractors to service same sex applicants, thus invading freedom of contract and association. Redefinition of "rights" pertaining to marriage, adoption, abortion to require "equal" tax treatment and incentives for relationships and plural relationships that inherently are not equal. Incenting, or declining to dis-incent, polygamous family relationships. Injecting bureaucrats to supervise and control more and more aspects of parenting. Making Big Gov Into Big MacDaddy.
We already have one party, Dims, that is devoid of principles. Must we have another? Where, then, do people who sense a need for sustainable principles go, to get representation? An Obamanation Doctrine is on the upswing: Make the people fatigued with every kind of scandal, then unite them with bribes. Unite Dims with gratification bribes. Unite Rinos with "freedom to sell out your country" bribes. The Obamanation Doctrine. It's the way to "win," as a world falls into one borderless, sold out pit of depravities and lost innocence for all children. Why be concerned with family values, when you can replace them with government made in hell?
Re: "Our electorate is too uneducated to understand what's best for them."
Nah. The thinking middle class of our electorate tends to be sufficiently competent to understand what is best. It tends to be libertines, who are so enthralled with needing fixes for their nether regions, who are thereby rendered incompetent to understand what is needed to raise children to be competent lovers of sustainable liberty. Scratch a libertine, find a potential child molester.
And too much simplistic, addled nonsense is thrown into the black and white protectionist versus free trade debate. It's nonsense to think one siimple principle can or should apply to trade relations with other nations. It's one thing to encourage free trade among Western nations. But it's crazy to engage in one sided free trade, as opposed to smart trade, with Eastern nations. Especially when their idea of free trade is freedom to buy and sell our politicians. The "free trade" panacea is a pipe dream, suitable for pipers.
Is the only role of gov to defend materialism, the material claims by Dims to equal distribution of stuff, and the claims by rinos to open season to sell out America's industries? If so, then no wonder there is so little concern among rinos and dinos to defend either territorial borders or moral boundaries. America becomes just a grab bag for every deviant to pursue his stuff and to get some kind of homoerotic kick out of comparing his stuff to other people's stuff. This is not a very admirable way to be a nation. No wonder our pols lack the will to call Islam evil. Hell, they lack the sand and common sense even to call instruction in fecal sex to our kids an abomination.
Libertines do not just want everyone to turn a blind eye to depravities on parade. They want to force the parades into everyone's eyes, to "normalize" them. And there are no limits. They are not satisfied just to come out of the closet. They want to be rewarded, congratulated, admired by your children, and financed. They say they do not want government being occupied with them, then they turn around and demand that your tax dollars finance them --- in the name of equalizing ... depravities. This is social madness. They say they want government to butt out, but then they move to stick it to the taxpayers. And normalize it to your children. Liars and morons and pervs, oh my.
Opium was virtually forced upon the Chinese by the West. Read Tai Pan. It nearly destroyed China. China learned the ill effects the hard way, and would probably relish returning the favor. Hooking the Chinese on opium was precisely the way China was reduced by Western corporatists.
Gov should not be criminalizing pot. It should make public intoxication a civil offense, provided no one is hurt. Gov should not be incenting the decline or replacement of the family. Gov should not be banning religious reference in the public square. Gov should not be providing a welfare life style or availing people to vote for a living. Gov should not be regulating small free enterprise as a way to replace it with fascist corporatism. However, Gov is doing ALL the things it should not be doing! Very little remains that can stop the slide, except hitting the bottom. The bottom is very deep. As things stand, it's inevitable that pot must be decriminalized. It's inevitable that no thinking person will take moral guidance from this degenerate Gov. No Gov can have standing to replace the moral suasion of a Reconciler. Unfortunately, this will remain unclear to many, until they hit the very bottom.
The increased pot demand is a mark of symbiosis with moral hazard. The Regime has to allow diversionary entertainment for the people it grows to vote for a living. And the people who are content to do nothing more than vote for a living need diversionary entertainment. It's a piece with the headlong fall down a moral hazard. Anyone who has a problem with these people is a "racist pot-phobe."

The rationalizing philosophy for this hazard consists in Metrosexual Subjective Entitlementism. This philosophy idealizes a safety net that is generous enough to equalize most standards of living. As byproduct, it induces people to feel entitled to form gangs and steal, both property and affections, and to vote for politicians who hollow out entire communities by promising more of the same.

The owners of fascist media that keep these people diverted know they don't have the attention span to deal with scandal fatigue. Fascists know, with a little help from media and diversions, that they can keep people divided with scandals, and then they can bring them together in an equality voting block with siimple, cheap handouts. This is part of the Obamanation Doctrine: Free turkeys for every turkey. The Chebongo Way has become the moral exemplar for every wannabe thug organizer. It has become the meme that has toppled America. I am not sure whether Obama has led us to evil because he is an ignorant fool, a puppet golfer, a malignant incarnation of evil, or some combination thereof. But I am quite sure he has led us to a fast slide through a gaping moral hazard and into the very maw of evil. Elitists who think they know that there abides no evil are quickest to take this vertical shaft.
Maybe Christie has principles and I just haven't appreciated them. Maybe some on the left have principles that they don't just make up as they go along. Maybe Christie is innately opposed to twisting whichever way money and opportunity blow. However, it has seemed to me that the Dims go far left not because of principles, but because that's the strategy their funders have hit upon for reducing and canninalizing the middle class. The funders don't believe in leftism as principles. They believe in it as means for separating people from principles and then buying them with cheap bribes funded by siphoning money out of the DC money printing machine. If Christie is as unprincipled as he so far seems to me to be, and if he is as coldly opportunistic as I think he is, and if corrupt cronies believe they can work with him and that he can deceive with flair, then I don't see much reason why they would decline to draft his talents to their cause: Cannibalizing the middle class. After all, that was what was at stake in the 2012 election, and Christie did not miss a heartbeat before giving Obama his photo-op and selling the middle class of the country down the river. The only thing Christie needs to make him a good Dim is reliable, crony backed media. Maybe I'm too jaded. Some people think the photo-op was just a mistake. I think it was a grab that only a person devoid of principles would have made. The nature of a scorpion is to sting. The nature of an unprincipled politician is to grab. I think Christie has shown his nature. I don't think that nature is consistent with principled republicanism.
Even our cosmos is more like a temporary bubble than an existentially permanent truth. Whether some super preserver of information will remember us is hardly objectively knowable. What is measurable is any shared reference, to the extent we happen to share manifest or potential access to it. That is kind of like a shared bubble of subjective experience -- superior to each of us individually, but hardly objective, outside our temporally shared perceptions and sensations. While we are inferior to Something that encompasses us, and we do not "construct" it, we do participate in how its construction is presented to us. We need to get past the idea that non-trivial events are either and only objective or subjective, quantitative or qualitative. Events partake of aspects of both, depending on point of view, frame of reference, and purpose (practical or moral). That's what continuous renormalization by the Reconciler is all about.
Metrosexual elites think they will continue to rule, even after they smother us with Muslims. These people's gratifications exceed their intellects. There abides great moral hazard in the metrosexual philosophy of subjective entitlementism, largely because it is so false, both morally and practically. The ideal of a safety net that is generous enough to equalize most standards of living induces and indoctrinates people not only to be lazy, but also to feel entitled to form gangs and steal, both property and affections, and to vote for politicians who hollow out entire communities by promising more of the same. At its core, its a feminist philosophy that turns people into morally useless zombies and morally rabid vampires. That's probably why such plot lines become more popular every year. And why we have crime infested inner cities, with zoo-nizens entertaining themselves by playing property liberation games and knockout games. This is directly related to the Obamanation Doctrine: That feminist redistribution towards material equality is more important than economic health and freedom. In a way, Obama is right. That is, if the purpose is to reduce the masses to ignorant dependence under corrupt elites, i.e., the Chicago Way, and to reduce civilization to a contest for the survival of the most corrupt. I am not sure whether Obama is leading us to evil because he is an ignorant fool, a puppet golfer, a malignant incarnation of evil, or some combination thereof. But I am quite sure he is leading us to a fast slide through a gaping moral hazard and into the very maw of evil. The fact that such a tool of evil was twice elected should send waves of shudders down the spine of every thinking person.
If we don't care about the classics that give us an idea about where we came from, we won't acquire much orientation to tell us to what purpose we can or should direct ourselves.
a diversion (taquia): Coax gullible Americans to be more tolerant of Islam in order to lull us to sleep while Iran develops nukes. After all, if Islam does not incite violence among its believers, then it must be looney to fear Iran's nuclear capability.
For an interesting SNL mind experiment, read the Koran and then explain how it is less malignant than Mein Kampf. Compare the genital mutilations and body wrappings sponsored under Islam with the markings enforced by the Nazis and then explain how one is more civilized than the other. Consider the comparative weight given under Islam to the testimony of women and then explain how Islam is not looney. Explain how stoning a young girl for the dishonor of allowing herself to be raped is anything other than malignantly looney and subhuman. Explain how Islam is more advanced than wrapping an alleged witch in a bag and then throwing her in a river, to judge her guilty if she floats and innocent if she sinks and drowns. Other than advanced experimentation of Stockholm Syndrome, explain what Muslims have to offer to America that, on balance, in any way advances knowledge, civilization or decency. Invent the most ridiculous, malicious incitement to organized crime and terror that your mind can conceptualize. Then explain how the recipe under the Koran is less evil.
There is no material law that evidences to bind the potential of God. However, the potential that has been laid ot for us, for us to participate in its unfolding, has been built on presets, which do bind our parameters. To suggest, in eternally concrete terms, that there abides no non-trivial truth that can be known or created by a mortal perspective is to suggest a truth: That all non-trivial truth is derivative of a higher Source -- whose general purpose may be intuited, but not empirically proven as to applications for specific situations. It is to suggest, as to qualitatives (moral "whys"), that we may proceed in general good faith, but not in empirical assurance. Tomorrow is assured to no mortal. The future consequence of any present evil is uncertain.
We build on empirical theories to the extent they seem practical, given the present state of our measurable cosmos (for our quantitative "hows"). Progs who recognize the uncertain state of our empirically measurable unfolding tend to fail to recognize the implication regarding the truth of our spiritually qualitative unfolding. The measurable cosmos is only the signification, the logos, of the Signifier -- not the immeasurable Signifier itself. To relate to the Signifier, we may proceed in receptive, humble, good faith. Or we can twist off to the Prog asylum.
If one assumes there abides no Reconciler of unfolding purposefulness, then one may try to rationalize one's purposes, irrationally. If one assumes there does abide a morally purposeful Reconciler, then one may come together with others to be receptive to guidance for reasoning one's way towards moral meaningfulness. That guidance, in specific applications, may be qualitatively and metaphorically real, but it will not be tightly demonstrable in logic or science. God is spiritual, not inanimate matter. What we learn about matter abides, in God's grace to us, simultaneously, in a present state of temporal and self-defining dependence, and in a potential state of eventual falsifiability. Our bubble of a material cosmos will not, in itself, abide forever. Even so, experimenting to uncover our temporal "laws of nature" tends to be meaningful for our pursuits of practical "hows". And, even so, our good faith receptivity to unfolding spiritual guidance is meaningful to those who come together in respect of it. As to the rest, they are creating of America's colleges asylums for "justifying" perpetual irrationality, only to ravish ephemeral and destructive pleasures, i.e., all the meaningfulness of head-banging cannibals.
Bottom line: We participate in the construction of our opportunities, but only in respect of unfolding parameters provided by a Reconciler.
Any so-called Republican who wants to add a lot of liberty illiterates to the electorate at this time is a Rino. You can't pretend to believe in representative republicanism, advocate to give amnesty to a lot of socialists, and fool anyone who can think into believing that you are not a phony. There are other reliable tests, but that one is pretty basic and clear.
I voted for Romney. I like Mormons. I believe Romney would have made a much better president. I think he loves America. I do not see him as a cosmopolitan, border-erasing, sell out to despotic cronies. Although Romney has some deficiencies, if there was a better candidate among those offered by the Republicans, It was not evident to me. Gingrich, though I like his pizazz, wilded out. Cain got 999 strange. Perry was not ready for prime time. In order of preference, before they fizzed out, I was in favor of Cain, Perry, and Gingrich. Each of the others had their own challenges.
In any event, Obama won, I suspect because the crony world simply preferred Obama. I am not sure the hard hitting primaries did Romney in. They may have given him needed exposure. I would have preferred he not whimper out in the second debate. He scaled down out of fear of seeming to the women to be too hard on poor wittle Obama. Megyn Kelly seemed to think so. Also, he played it too safe, probably in respect of the active campaign of disinformation on Benghazi being put out by the Regime. Christie's strut on the beach did not help. With the country in the straits it is in, it was unforgivable for Christie to have given Obama that photo-op. I do not buy his rationale. I suspect the photo-op got his state little that it would not have gotten anyway. If it was solely to enhance his position, at the expense of the country, then he is a disgrace, and Rino, if anything, is too good an abbreviation for him.
Democrats believe in majority rule. Dinos pretend to believe, but actually believe in socialism, under which they hope rulers will be "fair." The smart Dinos know it is a farce, do not mean to be fair, but instead intend to fleece. Some youths among them, who have been falsely indoctrinated by fraudulent media, may still be salvageable. For small contributions, each party depends on a different set of gullibles. Rino youth believe in free trade, even with despotic regimes. They see the blessings of free enterprise, but are blind to the dangers of crony corporatism. Dino youth believe in being adopted by "big caring government" (haha). Both are fantasies. Neither has enough money or pull to make much difference by their contributions or letters. What is required is something considerably more muscular.
I suspect bi-pol-exuals who hedge and swing both ways fund ainos, on both the dino side and the rino side. Crony Corporatists are well entrenched. A frontal assault may be do-able, if overpowering numbers coalesce. Short of that, a flanking movement may make more sense. In either event, it will take more than a few election cycles and things, bad as they are, will get worse before they get better. The thing is to inspire a start. It would seem better to begin inspiring a flanking movement than a charge of a light brigade. Either way, evil must be called evil when it is evil. And crony open society rinos are evil. Pretty hard to man a perimeter with them and still watch your back.
The NWO establishment needs whipping boys. A true Conservative Party would not submit to that role. But the Stupid Party does. They are less the loyal opposition than the paid loyal whipping boy. The Dino Party is the party for cannibalizing the middle class and hollowing America out internally. While both parties pursue the international open society united nations agenda, it tends to be the Republicans who get prosecuted when they go off reservation. This is because Republicans sometimes promote free enterprise, which tends not to be welcome among nattering nabob globalists who prefer and are paid out of crony enterprise. Dims don't attract crony owned newswipe calls for prosecution because they don't get in the way of crony enterprisers whose media fill lofo heads with visions of equal redistributions. So the cronies get their hatchet media to seek scalps from Scooter Libby, or border patrol agents who actually dare to defend borders, or Nixon, for disliking nattering elitists and daring to have an enemies list.
Sample: Morton Halperin, now an adviser for Soros' Open Society Institute, was put on Nixon's enemies list after having served as an adviser when it appeared he had leaked information to the NYT about the bombing campaign in Cambodia. He had defended large scale bombing in SVN, yet was a friend of Daniel Ellsberg. Maybe there's an explanation for that in his ACLU activism.
Was it Kissinger who observed that "If [you] drop some loose change, when you go to pick it up the Russians will step on your fingers and the Chinese won't"? Substitute Rino for Russian and Dino for Chinaman and you may see a relatively small comparison between our political parties. In any event, it appears that the Republicans who are actually selected for prosecution and hate fests tend not to be down with reducing America to just one among many countries, whose borders and traditions are of no great import. Those Republicans would do better to form their own party --- either as a separate party or as a party within a party.
You assume a principled party that stands for freedom and dignity would take only from the Rino party. You assume there are no educable Democrats who would respond to a well advocated platform. I am not sure that is the case. Not sure enough to march lockstep with people who want to reduce and sell America to the cosmopolitan mud and mire. As to Christie's fashion walk along the beachwalk, what did he gain? Wouldn't Obama have felt political pressure anyway, in the wake of Katrina? Apart from political show that helped Obama (and Christie) during an important national election, what did Christie gain for the people that he should have gained and that would not already be forthcoming? In exchange for that, what did he cost the country?
Which is more dangerous to America: the Dinos who want to take the country apart internally, or the Rinos who want to sell the West out to the East? The answer is not clear enough to make me want to prefer a rino to a dino. Moreover, whomever we elect from among choices proffered by the establishment, it will be an aino, i.e., a person who is comfortable with both --- taking America apart and selling America off. Stuff will hit the fan when there are more people out of work who want to work versus people who are out of work because they want to suck. If urgency is the mother of invention, it is urgent that a party of principled adults be born.
Democrats by their nature tend to be godless narcissistic poorly informed people who never develop mentally beyond their gland based lusts. They don't vote based on what's good for a decent republic. They vote based on what can you give from your stash. Nearly every Dim candidate appeals to that base of easily duped naifs. They are not concerned about principles of country, freedom, or decency. Indeed, many are trained to despise the country and its military. They don't get audited because they don't pay taxes. They don't care about BenGhazi. So why should any thinking person be puzzled that narcissistic doped up Dims don't take any long principled stance against one another? There may be some Dims who are salvageable, if reasoned principles are advocated to them. But that sort of advocacy won't come from the StupidRinoParty of crony treasonous sellouts. In essence, you're asking principled thinkers to avoid saying bad things about unprincipled people because unprincipled people don't say bad things about one another. (True, Rinos and Dinos do scuffle. But it's more like competition among mob gangs for syndicating territory.) The hedge funders for the Establishment of Unprincipled Narcissists don't give a rat's patootie which Aino is elected, so long as they own him.
We will keep going negative years down the road so long as we fail to make a start at restoring a party of sense. There is no sense or soul to the Rino Party. Just treasonous corruption. They understand money and self interest, the nation be damned. Rinos can speak ill of Conservatives, but Conservatives cannot speak ill of Rinos? BS! And kiss my grits.
Now that the KKK is reviled, Holder figures its safe to start up the BBB -- Black Bejeweled Buggers. I wish Carson, King, Sowell, Thomas, Cosby would start an opposition -- BAHB: Black American Human Beings.
When a goon hits someone with intent to knock them out, it's a game, see? Not a hate crime. See the difference? Indeed, all black crime is a game. Liberating property -- that's a game. Intimidating voters? Just another game. Dropping kids for the gov to raise? "All of life's a game, and Whitey is IT." Quote Blackspeare. Taking America apart and selling us to the East? That's just another game --- except everyone who does not love freedom and dignity gets to play it. Blacks, Hispanics, muslims, liberals, feminists, cronies, commies. Just a "take you apart" game, that's all. It's this kind of diversity that makes us strong. Chilly Sarc.
