One would have to drill very deep to get to the bottom of the deception that besets us. Very little is as it is portrayed. Illegals think they are cared for by Ainos. The reality is that they are wanted so they can be used. Used, that is. in order to eliminate the baa baa middle class and establish perpetual sheepledom under elite Ainos. The dino dog and the rino man are working together. Their only difference is intermural, to control the divvying up at suppertime.
Illegals are often referred to as "takers." However, "useful pack mules" may be a better descriptive. Pretense is made to them of efforts to bestow citizenship and eventual voting rights. The idea is that their numbers would shift the balance of voting power to socialist programs for wealth redistribution. However, socialism is a farce. It pretends government owns basic industries, but all the while the government itself is owned or operated by elitist cronies. This is nothing but elitist-corporatism, or corporatist-socialism, if you prefer. It is neither fish nor fowl. It is not capitalism, nor is it socialism. Socialism exists only in fairyland.
The elitist technique is to lure illegals, say they have earned amnesty, contrive to count their votes, pretend to be looking out for their welfare, and fill their heads with cheap promises, all the while blaming strawmen (like Tea Party Conservers of Liberty) as the reason more is not done. But the reason "more" is never done is because elitists never intended that wealth be "fairly" redistributed. Certainly, they do not intend that real political influence be redistributed. In such a system, the "representative" in "representative republic" reduces to a farce put on for bleaters.
The elitist goal isto set this system of corporatized control and pillaging in concrete. If the goal were to really redistribute wealth, then the producing class would be encouraged to produce. It would not be so shackled, regulated, deceived, and cheated. Lofos would not be promised redistribution, while actually being used to perpetuate and accelerate the gap in wealth and political influnece. This is why billionaires fund both lying dinos and lying rinos! Yes, the gap is a threat to decency and representative republicanism. No, the gap is not being addressed by dinos, much less by rinos.
Mere law, by itself, cannot fix this. Lawyers, courts, law makers, rule makers, and rule enforcers are owned by the corporatist-cronydom. For much the same reason, mega churches cannot fix this. Nor can people in the grip of fundamentalist apologists for mega churches fix this. What can begin to fix this? First, each American must reclaim personal responsibility for his/her relationship with, and capacity to be guided by, the Reconciler. Each must say, "I'm an American, God bless it! Only then can other measures and laws begin to be effective.
Possibilities for consideration: Restore the family, and starve the government. Government needs to be kicked out of the traditional family. Close down the epartments of education, commerce, and energy. Stop gov funding of soft social sciences in colleges. Stop census data collections based on race. Stop affirmative action programs. Stop criminalizing adult home intoxication. Enforce borders. Require incarcerated rehabilitation of public, perpetually intoxicated addicts. Establish viable voter identification. Repeal the 17th Amendment. Provide for recall of Senators by state legislatures and recall of the President by Congress. Consolidate some of the small Eastern states, so small areas with big metroghettos have fewer senators.
Audit the banking system as a whole. Take control of the currency out of private hands. Critically examine the apologists for corporatist sell off of the nation's skills, resources, and industries, tax free to despots who launder money to buy pols for the cronydom. Charges need to be brought, and examples need to be made. Forfeitures need to be made against illegally gotten wealth. An immediate retainage needs to be taken against all funds transferred out of country. Eliminate taxes on domestic corporate profits and on on exported products. Do tax exports of money, and tax imports from despotic nations. The income tax needs then to be stopped and replaced by a progressive consumption tax. Count political contributions as "consumption." Use tax revenues to repair and maintain infrastructure and to address environmental and population concerns.
Goal: Return to more balanced representation of ordinary, decent Americans. Restore human freedom and dignity and defend the moral and territorial boundaries of the USA. Take power away from the International Cronydom.

I think you have a different idea of "liberty-literate" than I do. Otherwise, you would be advocating that intelligent free thinkers of good will submit to elitist rule, just to avoid the problems associated with representative democracy. I doubt you would want to advocate for that. I agree that democracy is not the way. The way is representative republicanism, with an informed ("liberty literate") citizenry that respects the idea of a God (Reconciling Source) who invites us to develop and give of our talents, but who does not ask us to subjugate our talents to elite rulers or big gov. Such a citizenry would respect and defend small gov, but would bridle at big gov that is really only cover for the rule of elitists who think they must replace God.
I notice you combine defense of ideas about God with ideas about markets. I don't see much of that among other proponents of Von Mises, but I find it refreshing.
Mises said, concerning Christianity and socialism: "The Christian churches and sects did not fight socialism. Step by step they accepted its essential political and social ideas. Today they are, with but few exceptions, outspoken in rejecting capitalism and advocating either socialism or interventionist policies which must inevitably result in the establishment of socialism."
Of course, "Christian" covers a lot of territory. There are Christians who assert all must bow to interpretations of elitist authorities. That grooms people for non-independence, and it is at odds with taking individual responsibility for one's relationships -- both with spirituality and with materiality. I think the essence of having a conscience that can stand against the contrivances of man and the gates of hell requires that one assert one's personal relationship with the Reconciler. I think that is akin to asserting one's spiritual right to think for oneself, subject only to reconciliation in respect of a Source that is higher than mankind. It is to assert the freedom and dignity that come with having a conscience before God. I think the way to the renormalization of a decent republic is to encourage most citizens to grow such a conscience. Not to substitute government force for charity, but to substitute charity for government force.
Watch Obama soar with knockout game artistry. Knocking out old white women is such small beer compared to His Awesomeness. Obama's handlers are positioning to profit from crisis by knocking out entire nations of polar bears. Welcome to Earth's Downlow Club.
Yes, voluntary cooperation is preferable over gov force. Voluntary cooperation needs to evolve. Even chaos is bound by underlying rules. Civilization adds layers of man made rules on top. It is better that such man made rules be based on traditional wisdom of the community. But divided communities tend to destroy traditions or to pit them into uncooperative competition. It's odd that Hilary preaches that "it takes a village," but then she wants to bring in thugs and authorities paid by a crony aristocracy to rule the village. Compassionately, of course. She would say, once those who know best are ruling, what difference does the village make?
In a decent marketplace of ideas, where God is not supposed dead and where the citizenry is liberty-literate, better ideas would tend to prevail, and all the people would have more of a sense of participating and being listened to. Most people don't mind so much that their ideas are reconciled. They mainly just want decent consideration of their ideas. They bridle when they see that elitists put on only a show of consideration and, when they have power, actually smirking while they do as they please simply because they believe they have all the power. Ordinary people bridle because they know elitists are not God, and they know that elitists who are powerful enough not to respect the interests and opinions of others are often wrong, as well as despotic.
They pretend to move left, pretending to move towards socialism. But it's really crony socialism. Who gets the gov contracts? Answer: pay to play. So it's feint to the left, while really moving right -- towards oligarchism, despotism, fascism, crony-socialism-corporatism. The Establishment lies to everyone except those who are in on the cheat. The lofos are so ignorant they buy the lies. The cheaters are so corrupt they ignore the lies. The conservatives are so trusting they are just now waking up to the axis of liars.
It seems clear that the Republican Establishment and the people who fund it would rather that Obama remain President than that either Cruz or Gingrich ever become President. The Establishment can preserve itself almost as well by making insincere promises to the idiot Dim base as it could by electing out and out oligarchs who trade in government favors. The one thing it does not want is to resuscitate competition with thinking middle class conservatives. Dims attract lofos by wailing against "mean" conservers of liberty. Rinos seek to buy credibility by distancing themselves from conservers of liberty. Rinos want their funders to rest easy that they will not revive political influence against elitist aristocrats. And, they want to atract "hip" counterculture voters. Conservatives are orphaned, red headed step children, and are not welcome in either party. There is no point to threatening to start a third party, because neither of the two morally dead parties gives a damn. If conservatives want any chance to representation, and any chance to revive decency and liberty, then there is NO Choice but to establish a third party. The longer that fails to happen, the more of America that will continue to be sold down the river.
I see no dishonesty in an implication that "if I don't presently have power to facilitate an intuition, then such and such is the means by which I would seek such power." I think you are playing transparent word games to make accusations. I am honest when I say I think our governance should be about preserving a decent culture for the expression of human freedom and dignity. To that purpose, I take small government and the traditional family as being keys. I do not care what adults do to pleasure themselves, so long as they are not taxing me to pay government to pollute children. It seems you disagree with that, apparently out of concern that one ought not be concerned with oights. It would be twisty interesting to see you explicate how it is that we ought not be concerned with oughts. I think you're taking liberties with common sense. I don't criticize human beings for not being smart. I criticize them for when they are corrupt. It seems you have no guide to tell you what is corrupt. When people tolerate everything and stand for no oughts, then they tend to fall for everything. As for nature, I have said nothing that exempts my body from it. I just happen to intuit or believe that a superior Reconciler helps guide such human nature as is receptive to it. If you have no such intuition or receptivity, it does not trouble me --- except when you advance your position for the purpose of corrupting government or children. When you say our institutions are revealed to us as byproducts of our competitive egoism, you merely regress to begger questions, but you do not displace my intuition of a Reconciler. Frankly, for all your air of reasonableness and tolerance, I doubt you are tolerant at all. In my case, at least I am honest in saying that I find it intolerable to foist depravities onto children and intolerable to sell out the American ideal for cheap pottage sponsored under a simplistic talisman of "free trade."

I don't think studies of material man (economics, politics, psychology, or sociology) should be called science. Like meteorology or global warming studies, they don't tend to lead us to calculations that are reliable to much depth. Yes, they are functional rationalizations, tools for directing us towards more common points of reference, often used to practical or manipulative effects by skilled artisans. But they are misleading at their foundations, and that can be dangerous when their foundations are fed to us as dogged truths by skilled manipulators. Economists would like us to be predictable, rationalize-able widgets. Obama would like us to shut up and just say "Thank you." However, there is a need for every sentient being to remain responsible for himself, to listen receptively and humbly to a higher, civilizing voice -- still and quiet though it may be. When dogmas and manipulations are substituted for innate conscience and backed by big gov that is backed by oligarchs, then the way is cleared for despotism -- whether it be spiritually religious and dogmatic or secularly religious and dogmatic. We are egoistically separate in that we have separate interests because we are particularized to our separate points of view. But all our points of view are connected and renormalized to a single existential field. That innate connection, although not reducible to precise calculation, avails the still, quiet, intuitive basis for spiritual empathy, i.e., seeing the spiritual basis for ourselves in others. Theories of economic man tend to miss that. Indeed, without missing that, economic man would be far less able to feign objectivity. People who study humanity and decency need more often to pull that pretended magic rug out from under widget men.
There needs to be room made in your egoism for cooperation, empathy, and humility. Otherwise, instead of communicating meaningfully with fellow sentient beings, one would simply be manipulating them, like ontologically insignificant toy soldier ants. Man is not man without a basis for civilizing communication. We have been guided to evolve to that situation. However, we will lose it if we do not humble our egos to cooperate in appreciating it. Purely economic man, without valuing the liberty of others, is little more than materially corroding, oligarchically despotic man. Purely Economic Man is dissolving human freedom and dignity into an oligarchic rule over a lowest common puddle.
That our presently manifest situation is reconciled for the best is not equivalent to saying that it is best that we remain in our present situation. This is because behind the present manifest abides the present potential. Pangloss might say this present is the eternally frozen best of all possible potentials. And therein would lie the Pangloss error. But that is Not what I perceive the writer to be saying. We are valued in that our contemporaneous participation in the renormalization and reconciliation of our situation is valued.
I would say a Conservative is someone who does not want society to be forced to marry big government.
The longer religion stays walled out from the public square, the longer the Cronydom has to infest mega churches in cloistered secrecy. Religious based values that do not engage in the defining rough and tumble of the public square tend to become less beholden to reason and more beholden to conspiracy. Religion that is made irrelevant to guiding public life and family values tends to become more relevant to fostering secret depravity and forced marriage to the government. The Word can guide us, but less so when we are un-free to discuss and make ratonal The Word in all its Logos. In the un-free case, we turn our rationalizations to cheap transient pleasures, and that makes us and our children little more than easy marks.
The intimidators were pro-regime take-down of Whitey (aka, the West, or Western Civ). The knockout game is for use against those who are anti-regime (aka, against those who are against the Collectivizing and Plundering East). The knockout game comes at various levels. Knockout game partners may get nukes to take out small representative republics that resist the Corporatizing-NWO worldwide regime. Drones are available for knocking out those who use violence against friends of the regime. Alphabet agencies are good for neutering those whose words become a thorn to the regime. Actual knockouts against random polar bears are useful for reminding Whitey that the Regime can numb his number. The regime nurtures knockout artists for every occasion. This is because the regime does not trust its capacity for appealing to reason. Rather, the regime hires and rewards those who "feel" its force is good, and it punishes and fires those who believe its force is unreasonable. Regime oz-monkeys get their jollies not by winning with reason or by raising a competent electorate, but by winning with force, duplicity, lies, and cheats. Their "truth" comes from their authority; their authority is based in pleasure, pain, and feelings --- not in reason or truth. They don't believe in any Source of truth higher than the one they have helped to construct. This is called organizing the mob. Er, community. The community they seek to rule is one that they hate, that they believe deserves to be lied to, cheated, punched, ridiculed, and, if need be, exampled or exterminated. The truth is not in them, nor can they be reformed by reason. Best is to banish them and let them consume one another, as they sink together in mire made of their own excess.
One would have to drill very deep to get to the bottom of the deception that besets us. Very little is as it is portrayed. Illegals think they are cared for by Ainos. The reality is that they are wanted so they can be used. Used, that is. in order to eliminate the baa baa middle class and establish perpetual sheepledom under elite Ainos. The dino dog and the rino man are working together. Their only difference is intermural, to control the divvying up at suppertime.

How am I "oriented"? The question is a child's sophistry. I don't accept your sophistry, nor do I accept your implication that "I" must be oriented or preset in any particular fashion that I am powerless to modify.
You try to make words mean only what you want them to mean. So they cannot admit of definitions or concepts that may not approve of your way of life. It is not so much that you seek to prove yourself right, but that you cannot reasonably think yourself to be wrong. In effect, you prescribe that we ought to entertain no oughts. At least, not any that would question your lifestyle. Your implication is that your lifestyle, culture, and arguments to children were foisted upon you by Nature, with no opportunity from yourself to modify your lifestyle and "orientation" in the least. Thus, everyone "should" just "self organize" consistent with how they are oriented.
First, you say you are a homosexual, so that your present behavior determines how you must behave. Then, you insert that you are "oriented" to be homosexual, so it is not you but your orientation that determines how you must behave. As if your orientation were some entity-in-itself that requires that it be forever obeyed. Then, you demand to know how I am oriented. Problem is, I do not accept that I am solely determined or bound by Nature. I think Nature consists of the reconciliation of significations, by a Signifier, which reconciles what is signified by our feedback. I don't think Nature-in-itself is pre-determined. I think a web or field provides us with parameters for effecting choices, and I think each of us is responsible for participating in those choices. You only assume what you want to prove: that how I am "oriented" in and of itself determines how I must henceforth be oriented. No individual responsibility; just orientation determined strictly and only by Nature. This is the kind of trivial way by which some people explain that all is merely matter, by defining matter as being matter -- a sophistic tautology. By confusing that which is signified with the Signifier, you seek to prove what you only assume: that every unfolding event is preset by material Nature, with no responsibility for feedback by any conscious expression of spirituality.
I don't "deflect" your question. I simply expose it for what it is: sophistic word play. You like the homosexual lifestyle, so you don't want anyone to criticize it, nor do you want anyone interfering with the instruction of kids that homosexual sex is a worthy exemplar for grooming children. If you have an "orientation," it is to pure materialism. That is not mine, and it is not an orientation that I incline ever to accept, much less tolerate being shoved down my kids' throats. My orientation is to purposefulness higher than mere material Nature. I tolerate your adult entertainment in your bedroom, in your bedroom. I don't tolerate it being taught as "normal" or admirable to children. Evidently, that stance has come to be intolerable to the militant homosexual downlow community.
Obviously, both your brains and your moral compass are drowned in your hormones. Every decision "I" participate in effecting, or continue to participate in effecting, is made contemporaneous with my participation. The decisions I do not consciously participate in are made, or have been made, by factors that guide, or have guided, my development apart from my conscious awareness. "I" am the Signifier of more than that which is signified in the sum of my parts, my hormones, and my wiring.
I don't take the ideal of free enterprise as justification for farming all the stupid people you can farm. If justice only means taking what you can take, then it means nothing. Yes, smart crony sociopaths do exploit stupid Dim people by filling their mushy heads with cheap or insincere promises. They then logroll the stupid people to help exploit smart middle class people who just want gov to leave them alone. So, what about telling stupid people how to wise up, to stop letting smart people exploit stupid people for the purpose of obliterating the republic? Instead of celebrating smart exploiters, I would rather celebrate smart instruction about how to check pillagers who lack the conscience to check themselves. Of course, instilling an idea of conscience would (horrors!) necessitate instilling an idea of "oughts." But the idea of checks and balances for a representative republic is so that the checks and balances can sustain the republic. Part of those checks and balances consists in not allowing cynical corporatists, under worship of natural science, to run religious values out of the public square so they can declare open season on buying the government.
Free charity from the government is poisonous to the recipients, poisonous to the government, and poisonous to the taxpayers. The only ones it is not poisonous to are the pols who pander to the recipients, telling them they are entitled to even more (as the pols break the Gov and deposit kickbacks in the Caymans). Gov charity is THE road to serfdom.
There it is. No choice. No responsibility. No guidance. No receptivity to guidance. No contempraneous participation in determining how your desires come to be wired. Just "self organizing" ... by magic. We are left to ourselves. No God. Nothing to be receptive to. No higher values to aspire to, other than to "teach your children to do it if it feels good." With this kind of philosophy, there are no oughts -- other than that there ought to be no oughts. This is the central tenet of the modern professoriate and the totally tolerant libertariat, prancing and pretensing about how "wise" it is. A child, uncorrupted by grooming deceivers, would sense how foolish, debasing, and harmful this central tenet is.
People tend to try to make religion and Christianity a big tent, so carnival barkers can make it all things to all people. Some say to get them in the door, to get them thinking. Others say to get them in the door to start the grooming and fleecing. I would hope that religion is for all people, but not that it be all things to all people. Nor that it be used to try to fool all tolerant fools all the time. A better purpose, it would seem, would be to employ historical religion to invite and inspire people to come and reason together, beginning from historical precedents and the language of historical metaphors. To be receptive to guidance about how to establish, preserve, and guide a decent republic that respects both human freedom and dignity. For this, it is central to grant roles to families and the inspiring language of historical metaphors, reconciled in light of present understanding. Decent society will not arise or be preserved in the absence of assimilating inspiration, nor will it arise or be preserved under the substituted rule of elitists who pretend to know best while reciting new secular myths as if they were "science," in circuitous language much as affected as Latin.
I try to read and watch from all sides. A young heir of the Johnson and Johnson fortune made a documentary, available on Netflix, about the 1 %. I make no judgment regarding its merits. It did include info regarding the sugar industry near Palm Springs, as operated by two brothers. One contributed $150T to Republicans, the other $150T to Democrats. No matter the party in power, the Brothers' price supports are protected. Thus, USA consumers pay several times more per pound of sugar than Canadian or Mexican neighbors. The quid pro quo has to do with cheap labor. Both parties are abusing both American consumers and laborers, via crony corruption. The Beast is two headed against the middle class. The only "central planning" has to do with letting greed have its way to sell out America and its borders. Sometimes, it seems some Rinos camouflaging as Libertarians are in effect advocating that the middle class just lie back and take it. Just continue to support Rinos at all costs, as if declining to interfere with Crony Corporate Socialism were the bad brand of socialism.
Insofar as a child is governed by his parents, and learns the rules imposed by his parents, the most that can be said is that society is contemporaneous with government. A society other than one of rapine will not become a society except contemporaneous with negotiated terms and expectations, i.e., governing rules. It will develop such expectations in respect of empathies and evaluations that go beyond the skins of the individual participants. Even a dog knows the difference between being kicked versus tripped over. Maybe that's why all dogs go to heaven.
Hmmm. In a way of speaking, self organizing crime by organized mobs thins the herd and keeps it hardy for future thinning. Civilization is a long story of sociopathic thinning. Inculcating assimilative ideas for reconciling common goodness is part of the process of civilizing the plunderers. Sort of like codes of chivalry and courteous courtly conduct, whereby knights may be asked not to plunder on Sundays or break wind when in the presence of the king. Ideas about codes get subsumed with ideas about God. Although specific ideas would not be true in themselves, general respect for a Source from which such ideas spring and flux would carry truth value for civilizing purposes. When it comes to enhancing social organization, there tends to be considerable metaphorical truth value in an idea about a meta source of civilizing goodness. The fact that such myths sometimes over-awe decency is less ground for abandoning the myth basis for civilization than it is for trying to inspire appreciation for the Source in metaphorical terms and parables. I don't see complex elitist lingo ("scientific" myths) about egoism and self organizing society as an effective, adequate, or inspiring substitute.
We nave been ignoring them. The consequence is, we now have same sex partners of soldiers being incented and funded with our tax money, and innocent children being groomed by tax paid instructors in the wonders of sexual experimentation. Not to mention the role model of a chooming, downlow Prezzie (because the press was allowed to ignore and not vet him). We have women marryng women who will be claiming rights to adopt or parent multiple dependent welfare checks. By our ignoring, we have allowed so many otherwise incompetent women to marry the government that we now have a generation of welfare kids without fathers. And what is the Prog solution (which I suppose we should also ignore?). Why, use tax money to pay experts to teach ghetto women to read more to their kids (because studies show children who are cared for and read to tend to do better, with little thought going to whether the children who are read to without gov nannies may just have been blessed with better genes for learning, and with little thought going to whether it is really socially wise to imcent even more women to marry the gov). Another "social issue" is sharia creep. I suppose we should ignore that, too.
It would seem good were every decent person humbly to try to normalize his conscience in respect of the One Reconciler. And to take responsibility for his own interpretation of that renormalization and reconciliation. Doing that, we would more likely assimilate a semblance of decent, common sense. A problem with godless libertarianism is that it is often as undefined, vague, and divisive as godless feminism. How many contending varieties of libertarianism and feminism do we now have? Lesbian feminism, animal feminism, Muslim feminism, anarchic feminism, polygamous feminism, equal pay feminism, Marxist feminism, Capitalist feminism. The more divided we become, the less sense our words and causes make. The problem with godless libertarianism and godless feminism is that they so often need to bring in the force of government to replace the invitation of the Reconciler. They often substitute force of law for charity or freedom, rather than charity and freedom for force of law. That is, except for the true faith of the "true libertarians." Lol.
Weed should be decriminalized. Addicts who perpetually make themselves publicly intoxicated need to be rehabilitated as civil offenders, under incarceration where necessary. Adults need to be free to have sex however they want, but not in public, and not with children. However, it is a bridge too far to say they should have equal funding benefits from the government, and it is a bridge too far to say taxpayers must fund teachers to groom students to experiment with deviant fecal sex. Some so called Libertarians want to force gov to equally fund the instruction of students in deviancy. Others just want us not to make an issue of it. That is, to just lay down and let Progs have their way with laws that promote social deviancy and the unraveling of the family. These are the Libertarians who are problematic -- especially when their desire to help social Progs is their main political concern.
Rino worshippers don't believe in angels. Rather, they believe fair minded computer robot fairies will take on the harness and save us all from perpetual debt slavery. Until robot fairy manna rains down, just keep creating more money and debasing the currency. The village will send forth its fairies to save us all.
It's hard to believe Dim Congressmen would fail to coalesce to move for some semblance of fiscal constraint, given Obama's unpopularity. I suspect the problem is less one of fear of their constituents than fear of their funders. It seems clear that the NWO wants the USA to be 20 trillion in debt. It looks suspiciously like the goal is to make thinking, independent, competent, middle class producers completely beholden to their new despotic masters. Crony social-corporate-chi-mobsterism is becoming unholy despotic creation of a world of debt slaves. Losers and dopers and Dims are a problem, but they are just the Oz Monkeys. The Witch that is bedeviling the West is a beast far more dangerous. Sadly, our attention is pulled mostly to the Oz Monkeys, with nary a serious thought given to the Witch. Apart from the stupid notion that we need to align with the Witch in order to save ourselves from her cheaply bribed monkeys.
Re: Socialism is the new colonialism, imperialism and mercantilism. And the Progressives own it.
I agree! And Rinos, whether one prefers to call them crony-corporatists or crony-socialists, are a big part of the Progism. Western Gov has been for sale for a long time, and no party represents the producing class to make any serious effort to slow it. Instead, we alternate between resisting the robber who steals from our left pocket and the robber who steals from our right pocket. The upshot is, the pockets of decency and liberty are cleaned out as fast as the producing middle class can produce. Except in lies, ProgRinoDinos do not intend that producers should ever be able to retire. Meanwhile, Progs get to pretend they care, behind a charade of socialism.
Barry can't look us in the eye because he knows he does not have our best interests at heart. He knows he gets his rewards from profiteers who get their rewards by abusing people and convincing them that they deserve it. Boil the pot. Keep it bubbling over with division, discontent, and crisis. Don't allow families to be happy. No, convince the children that they need to try out every kind of depravity, until they find at least one that hooks them into perpetual dependence upon pimps who run the government. Our consumption based society is run by pimps who specialize in fostering perpetual dependency. The addicts are meant to be made perpetual debt slaves, and every institution is twisted to teach children ways to make themselves into complete dependents. They are relentlessly conditioned to perceive all institutions that would teach ways of being independent as being "racist" or bigoted or un-enlightened. Even when large numbers of people are turned into walking, useless addicts, Gov Pimps still benefit. They simply make every producer believe he needs to work and pay taxes and fund community organizing criminals in order to redistribute cheap tokens to all the gov-created, needy addicts.
Gov now wants to "help families" by extending programs so elites can teach the dependent poor how to read more to their children and become better parents. Haven't these elites "helped" the poor quite enough? The effect of such seeming, well-intended efforts will not be pretty.
Of course, "Christian" covers a lot of territory. There are Christians who assert all must bow to interpretations of elitist authorities. That grooms people for non-independence, and it is at odds with taking individual responsibility for one's relationships -- both with spirituality and with materiality. I think the essence of having a conscience that can stand against the contrivances of man and the gates of hell requires that one assert one's personal relationship with the Reconciler. I think that is akin to asserting one's spiritual right to think for oneself, subject only to reconciliation in respect of a Source that is higher than mankind. It is to assert the freedom and dignity that come with having a conscience before God. I think the way to the renormalization of a decent republic is to encourage most citizens to grow such a conscience. Not to substitute government force for charity, but to substitute charity for government force.
Yes, voluntary cooperation is preferable over gov force. Voluntary cooperation needs to evolve. Even chaos is bound by underlying rules. Civilization adds layers of man made rules on top. It is better that such man made rules be based on traditional wisdom of the community. But divided communities tend to destroy traditions or to pit them into uncooperative competition. It's odd that Hilary preaches that "it takes a village," but then she wants to bring in thugs and authorities paid by a crony aristocracy to rule the village. Compassionately, of course. She would say, once those who know best are ruling, what difference does the village make?
In a decent marketplace of ideas, where God is not supposed dead and where the citizenry is liberty-literate, better ideas would tend to prevail, and all the people would have more of a sense of participating and being listened to. Most people don't mind so much that their ideas are reconciled. They mainly just want decent consideration of their ideas. They bridle when they see that elitists put on only a show of consideration and, when they have power, actually smirking while they do as they please simply because they believe they have all the power. Ordinary people bridle because they know elitists are not God, and they know that elitists who are powerful enough not to respect the interests and opinions of others are often wrong, as well as despotic.
They pretend to move left, pretending to move towards socialism. But it's really crony socialism. Who gets the gov contracts? Answer: pay to play. So it's feint to the left, while really moving right -- towards oligarchism, despotism, fascism, crony-socialism-corporatism. The Establishment lies to everyone except those who are in on the cheat. The lofos are so ignorant they buy the lies. The cheaters are so corrupt they ignore the lies. The conservatives are so trusting they are just now waking up to the axis of liars.
Well, it's who owns the media. Whether rino or dino, they agree on one thing: discredit any competition from conservative thinking people. Just trust the oligarchs to be dino-fair or rino-just. Our new and only "lords" --- skilled in playing both ends against the middle.
It seems clear that the Republican Establishment and the people who fund it would rather that Obama remain President than that either Cruz or Gingrich ever become President. The Establishment can preserve itself almost as well by making insincere promises to the idiot Dim base as it could by electing out and out oligarchs who trade in government favors. The one thing it does not want is to resuscitate competition with thinking middle class conservatives. Dims attract lofos by wailing against "mean" conservers of liberty. Rinos seek to buy credibility by distancing themselves from conservers of liberty. Rinos want their funders to rest easy that they will not revive political influence against elitist aristocrats. And, they want to atract "hip" counterculture voters. Conservatives are orphaned, red headed step children, and are not welcome in either party. There is no point to threatening to start a third party, because neither of the two morally dead parties gives a damn. If conservatives want any chance to representation, and any chance to revive decency and liberty, then there is NO Choice but to establish a third party. The longer that fails to happen, the more of America that will continue to be sold down the river.
I see no dishonesty in an implication that "if I don't presently have power to facilitate an intuition, then such and such is the means by which I would seek such power." I think you are playing transparent word games to make accusations. I am honest when I say I think our governance should be about preserving a decent culture for the expression of human freedom and dignity. To that purpose, I take small government and the traditional family as being keys. I do not care what adults do to pleasure themselves, so long as they are not taxing me to pay government to pollute children. It seems you disagree with that, apparently out of concern that one ought not be concerned with oights. It would be twisty interesting to see you explicate how it is that we ought not be concerned with oughts. I think you're taking liberties with common sense. I don't criticize human beings for not being smart. I criticize them for when they are corrupt. It seems you have no guide to tell you what is corrupt. When people tolerate everything and stand for no oughts, then they tend to fall for everything. As for nature, I have said nothing that exempts my body from it. I just happen to intuit or believe that a superior Reconciler helps guide such human nature as is receptive to it. If you have no such intuition or receptivity, it does not trouble me --- except when you advance your position for the purpose of corrupting government or children. When you say our institutions are revealed to us as byproducts of our competitive egoism, you merely regress to begger questions, but you do not displace my intuition of a Reconciler. Frankly, for all your air of reasonableness and tolerance, I doubt you are tolerant at all. In my case, at least I am honest in saying that I find it intolerable to foist depravities onto children and intolerable to sell out the American ideal for cheap pottage sponsored under a simplistic talisman of "free trade."
I have a few soft spots in my heart about W. It may be that he meant well. As also some of the neo-cons who surrounded him. Some of them, however, I suspect were motivated more by potential profiteering than in spreading compassion. IAE, the road to perdition is paved with good intentions. W should have had better advisers. No Child Left Behind was a bad governmental expansion. The idea that Islam is a religion of peace is both false and ineffective as a sweetener. The idea that everyone wants democracy is patently foolish. Cultures build over decades and centuries. Nations do not wake up one day and want to promote individual freedom. Moreover, the Bushes do not themselves believe in democracy, nor even in representative republicanism. I think they believe in elitist rule, served up under appearance of democracy. Skull and Bones. CIA connections. I think W wanted to use elitism to serve people. Problem is, most of his elitist friends likely favored making money over serving people. I think W was played by Bernanke, Paulson, and Goldman Sachs.
It was not hard to sell the need to punish Saddam. Saddam was giving the finger to the no fly zone that was meant to protect the Kurds. He was funding suicide bombers in Israel. He was playing games with the WMD inspectors. In hindsight, he should have been taken out with a cruise missile and be done with it. No nation building.
Problem is, some of the neo-cons believed the bs about nation building, and some of them may have just wanted friends in the arms business to profit from it. W fell for the NWO idea for elitists to ensure world peace, and so he probably saw a side benefit to the Iran War of using Shock and Awe to establish credibility for US force. Which worked in Gaddafi's case. What W failed to foresee, and what arms profiteers failed to alert him to, was that once the US broke the Iranian regime, the people would not be clamoring for democracy. And it would take many, many years, and many trillions in wealth, to restore order. And if order were not restored, then the whole "NWO compassionate conservatism by elitists who know best" would be up in smoke.
So now what do we have? Trillions in debt. (Not all attributable to the War, but the economy that melted down which caused the debt could not have been helped by the War.) Hatred in Islamic countries against the US. (I still remember O'Reilly yukking that we would pay for the War with Iranian oil. Wrong.) And now that our treasury and national will are hurt, the fear from shock and awe are gone. Moreover, arms have spread. Nukes are being acquired by dangerous regimes. NoKo acquired nukes while W's attention was on Iranian nation building. Meanwhile, with the American economy suffering, major businesses sought cheap labor opportunities abroad. Whole industries have been lost abroad. The NWO idea entails spreading wealth, even to regimes that are threats to the West.
During WWII, Henry Ford and numerous others enhanced fortunes by investing with the Nazis, who had their own cheap labor. Now, our billionaires are investing in cheap labor in another despotic nation -- China. Why are we trading with and enriching a despotic nation? Do neo-cons still think that free trade will change regimes to prefer democracies? Do we think, well, if we owe the Chinese enough, they will not seek to undermine us, because that would only make us unable to repay our debt? If so, I think that's insane. Chinese despots do not rely on national elections. There is a hierarchical series of elections and nominations that is effectively controlled by the Communist Party of China. The result is that enriching China seems quite like enriching Hitler. Besides, how would the US prevent American corporations that have gone international from meeting their obligations in China?
So what can we say about W? He had good intentions. His heart was often in the right place. Some advisers who were either stupid or corrupt led him to a bad place. So now we owe trillions. The Middle East is in an uproar. And China is set soon to become the world's largest economy.
I suspect much the same can be said of Bush, Sr. His intentions were not so bad as some of the people he associated with. However, some of the people he associated with were quite bad, indeed. Such as E. Howard Hunt. Some say the role of Sr. with the CIA at the time of the Kennedy assasination is murky. I don't need to dwell on that. To me, it's enough that Bush's idea of compassionate conservatism goes hand in hand with the idea of elitist rule by a cronydom, while it lets us pretend we are still a representative republic.
Bottom line: I terms of removing us further and further from hope of recovering a Constitutional Republic under which the will of the people is represented, I think the Bush family has been part and parcel of great mischief --- regardless of how well intentioned they may or may not have been. At the time, I was hoping Bush would be right: two more democracies in the Middle East. However, hope is not a strategy, I am not a Middle East Expert, and Bush should have made sure he had better advisers. In hindsight, I doubt 1 in 300 Americans at the time knew the difference between a Shiite and Sunni. Given that, I think its's safe to say the NWO "experts" were a bit, just a tad, "hubristic." That seems to be a commonplace among elitists and their profesoriate, who want to establish rule over everyone else.
Whether or not Hilary is The Anti-Christ, I am convinced she is an anti-Christ. Regarding anti-Christ Prog-creep: what did Congress intend when it provided for the tax status of " married filing jointly"? Regardless of whether you believe most provisions in the Internal Revenue Code to be un-Constitutional, can we at least agree that the IRS ought not be recognizing same sex living arrangements as having been intended to have status for federal purposes as being married filing jointly? Can we at least agree that Holder ought not have authority unilaterally to alter Congress' imtention? Or, if Constitutional Conservatives and Libertarians cannot accept half a loaf, must we constantly and continuously lay down for ever more Prog creep? The Constitution is never going to revert to being interpreted as written. So, is the only alternative for Constitutionalists to lay down for unlimited Prog slide? If so, then the practical effect of being a libertarian idealogue is to be irrelevant and impotent against the slide. Which is precisely where cronies and progs want them.
How did the German economy revive after WWI, given Germany's war debt? It reneged on its debt by making payments in worthless currency. It attracted investors from well known American industrial giants and banks -- such as a bank managed by Prescott Bush. http://www.theguardian.com/wor....
Nazi cronies saw a way to make bucks off the rising system of fascist socialism. A godless war machine was built on delusion, and it was used to ravage, enslave, and pillage resources and industries from neighboring countries and from targeted citizens within.
How is the American economy being reduced? It is being over-regulated and pulled into gross debt, It is attracting investments from despots, to divert the attention of burger flippers while entire industries are sent abroad. The upshot of arms mercantilism is that thug nations are learning how to use nukes for extortion purposes. If enemy WMD can be rotated or placed among target sites in America, opportunities for extortion by fanatic and godless cronies will be fantastic.
Ah, the wages of "free trade" with despots.
Prog science is that only conservatives can be hypocrites. When a Prog blurs the lines without clearly delineating the implications, that's not "hypocrisy by Prog standards." That's just part of the struggle, moving on by all means necessary, including taqiyya, lying, cheating, and stealing. It's only when a conservative stands athwart and tries to prevent the bursting of all lines of definition that the word "hypocrite" is invested with meaning. So this is how Prog Creep (and Sharia Creep) take over, like an advancing blobular of bacteria. There must be financial incentives in bringing down the family and replacing it with marriage (becoming harnessed) to the government. For one thing, the marriage to the government is not equal, since it is intended that government be ruled by "those cronies who know best." Conservatives see the Prog Creep and try to resist. Faux Enlightened Rinos and Libertarians tend not to see the Prog Creep, so many of them remain impotent to stop it. They don't want to sully themsleves in it, so they stand aloof. That is, when they're not "evolving" to help push the Prog Creep along.
When society is MADE to over-tolerate abnormals, the abnormals (abbies) return the favor by becoming intolerant of the normals. Indeed, for any child to opine that there is a normal becomes hate speech, ground for suspension, and time to send the parents to re-education camp. The abbies are agglomerating around Disney, like The Birds around Hitchcock. If they can force Disney to be their mouthpiece, it will be open season on re-normalizing kids to be groom-ees for all purposes. It's to make the world safe for Woody. New Prog Slogan: "People are not illegals or abnormals. They just want a fix and a fair shake."
Obama gets burned by the hot stove and blames it on the person who told him not to touch it. Putin gets burned and learns something. The difference is between a cluster b personality disorder and a competent person. I have cluster b personality relatives. Believe me, there's no contest in whom any thinking person would rather associate with. Obama is good at one thing: imposing the Alinsky model. Beyond that box, he cannot reason. If he can, he will make that box America's coffin.
I think there is a need to consider ways to defend America against rotters. I think the path for allowing labor to be made more expensive at home while exporting industries and resources abroad has been made too easy and attractive. I would prefer to do away with the income tax, but I don't think a flat tax can adequately protect the country against the rise of an aristocratic, oligarchic, immoral, sell consuming cronydom. I believe in free trade among free nations. Not as a cover for siphoning resources to despots so they can buy our country out from under us by buying our politicians. Or by making it impossible for good representatives to resist the tsunami of corruption. I don't think libertarianism should be allowed to mask unwillingness to draw any line, to finally stand athwart and holler, Stop! It's not that I disagree with tax cutters or free traders per se. It's that such ideas need to be applied smartly, so we can preserve the balancing act of keeping a free nation in the midst of a depraved world. Many of our icons of wealth enriched Hitler by freely trading with him. The ultimate self cleaning "oven."
Christi is a good example of how to recognize, and why not to back, Rinos. Let the vetting continue. There is nothing to be gained by failing to speak ill of all corrupt Ainos. Christi sold the nation out for nothing but a mess of pottage and a few shekels. And now, more Repubs are lining up against Tea Partiers. In my mind, that equates to lining up against the American ideal. Continue to fire until the last Aino is put in the stocks.
t's sad that Romney, a good and godly man, was undone by two gubernatorial imposters named Christi or Crist. First, Charlie of Florida, in 2008. Then, Chris of New Jersey, in 2012. Talk about false Messiahs.
Our culture cannot be said to remain conservative when the majority so quickly forgives and even glorifies the likes of Woody Allen, Phil Spector, Roman Polanski, Gangsta Rappers, and Mao. And, not to forget, Obama, Hilary, and Slick. Yet, many Libertarians continue to believe this culture can be salvaged from a sewer of arst-tocratic cronies if only we will get out of way of ever more rot, tax breaks for rotters, and more free trade with despots who invest in buying our media and politicians. Meanwhile, they continue to strike ever so "objective" poses. When you can't smell stench, everything is permissible and no smell can stop the flatulent flatterers. Newsflash: the Bushes did as much damage to America as Obama and the Clintons ever can or will.
Matter and Anti-matter exist, but they do not co-exist. Islam (sharia subjugation and mind enslavement) is anti-matter to Human freedom and dignity (small gov and free thinking).
There abides a unifying reconcilation and conservation of a Trinity: of (1) Consciousness (immeasurable Signifier - God?), (2) Information (rationalizeable Logos - Son?), and (3) Substance (partially measurable Signified -- Holy Ghost?). None of the 3 seems to abide as a thing in itself. Rather, all define one another in respect of the others. A singular thing-in-itself would seem to be an irrelevant no-thing. Perhaps that metaphor is implicated behind gnostic "knowing. The Islamic logic, that God has no partners (and does not appreciate feedback), breaks down upon analysis.
Sandra Fluke and Wendy Davis. The road to serfdom is paved with leaders on the road to infamy. After awhile, it becomes tempting to lose good will towards humanity. Sometimes, faith in a Reconciler is the only glue that remains. For humanity, in itself, constantly proves itself unworthy. Thus, the godless have little reason to entertain empathy for people. They are all about the cause. And even then, only because of what they think is in it for themselves. Indeed, crony capitalists unbound to faith have few qualms against taking advantage of all who are susceptible of being taken advantage of, thus reducing the world to a wasteland of dupe farms -- faces under gangster boots, forever.
Progs tell us we must do as they say, because they have "seen the light" and have only our best interests at heart, while we do not know what is good for us. Because we cannot be trusted to know what is good for us, and because they or their leader (just trust him and say "thank you") do know what is good for us, they must force us to utopia (and lock us down in it forever). Thus, hypocrisy, taqiyya, lying, cheating, and stealing are virtuous when done by Prog profs, but somehow wrong when done by everyone else, including the Black Sheep who resist being herded and forced into the sheeple farm. People knock to ask admittance through the pearly gates, but they must be forced to utopia. The contrast between Jesus and Mohammed, and between free enterprise in a representative republic and collectivism under a pen, is just that stark.
Gifts now being given back tend more often to be poisoned. More churches have become Dim Boosters, while more Gay Boy Groomers have become Scout leaders. When Progs give, they expect payback to themselves and their agenda, not to the country. Progs stimulate Progs, not consciences. Dims stimulate Dim car dealers, not Republican car dealers.
A prophet is without honor in his hometown, unless he brings home bacon. But if he brings home bacon by redistributing scarcity rather than by increasing surplus, then he is more a pillager than a prophet. Of course, a successful pillager who arms his supporters with enough swords can force everyone to learn to call him a prophet. Islam is government by tyranny, "religion" by force. Modern Christianity is religion and good will by invitation.
What happened to Donald Young and Leiutenant Quarles Harris, Jr.? Has the IRS ruled yet on Tea Party applications for tax exemptions? Why is Dinesh D'Souza really being audited? How will the regime use flash mobs and agitators for upcoming immigration battles? Why has the thug in the WH not been impeached? Answer: Because patsies in Congress are owned by Crony Mobs, and the American people are without assimilative faith, information, or institutions to put a stop to it. Mitt Romney would have been far better. The string of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama has been a long, godless, cynical, corrupt, catastrophic charade.
Once enough noses of cheap takers are in the majority harness, it won't matter to the drover cronies what the maverick noses think. They can lie, cheat on votes, reach across the aisle, recruit new lofos, and dumbify your kids. They don't give diddly what you think. And even if the Repube Party were broken, these godless blood suckers would just put their high tech gangsta act under a different godless shell.
The country is faithless in its conservatism. The people know collectivism is corrupt, but most lack faith by which to fight it. Feeling unable to beat the system, they join it. And so the godless system freely trades and buys their souls and drunkenly laughs. This system will probably have to eat itself. A few will keep themselves armed and apart.
We are in a deep sea of despond. And our opposition is confident of ways and means for pushing our noses deeper into it. It will be a long slog to get out. My optimism is seated more in pilgrim's faith than in sudden turnaround. I think there is a faint light that still avails to those who will retain faith to look. A mere sugary turnaround would fade quickly under the material forces that surround us.
We can't cold turkey impose libertarianism. But we can stop prog creep. Too many libertarians seem to look at resisting prog creep as being anti-liberty hypocrisy. For example, they roll over for gov benefits for gay marriage in the name of "equality," considering it hypocritical for gov to incent traditional marriage only. That is, they refuse to join the fight to draw lines to stop prog creep because they cannot get gov out altogether. This makes them impotent in the real world.
I watched Reason interview George Will. Will made an interesting point. Successful Americans tend to practice conservative values in raising their own children, but then go along with the dysfunctional ghetto culture in how they vote. The problem, then, is less a failure to practice what they preach than it is a failure by successful people to preach what they practice.
Will was asked whether he remains optimistic. He said yes. The West has bounced back before. He did not profess to know how it would happen. He pointed to the initial surge of Methodism. Back to our present situation: it would be interesting were two things to happen: First, for Conservatives to realize that they have been lied to, because their values in fact are more common than they have been led by the cronydom to suppose. Second, to revive mature faith that could inspire people of good will to return to appropriate church forums that would restore vigor to the cause of human freedom and dignity (small gov and family values).
As much as anything, Islam is a system of government, like a separate sovereign. To change a system of government, it must be interfered with. So long as Islam is exempted from being interefered with under guise of being a religion, its system of government cannot be changed. When we accept Islamic immigrants and grant them freedom of "religion," we are really granting them special freedom from being interered with under our system of governance. It is like eating rocks and trying to assimilate them as nutrients. If a President were to invite a foreign sovereign to come and take over a part of the USA, such would amount to treason. When Obama said America is a Muslim nation, it was in practical effect treason. In practical effect, this is what happens when Muslims are allowed to immigrate. Except in taqiyya, a Muslim immigrant cannot renounce his separate sovereign, nor swear loyalty to USA governance.*

Sometimes the pagan belief in "free trade" as a one-dimensional talisman seems as blind as any unreasoned faith. As if Pagan Mother Nature would bestow bounty on all, if only everyone would accept the free trade belief. However, I don't believe in such Pagan gods. While I do believe in a God, and I am of a spiritual disposition, I see the spirit as a Signifier that communicates among perspectives via signifieds. From our perspective, the signifieds are "bloody in tooth and claw." They are passing, mortal, competitive, avatars for feedback of expressive apprehension and appreciation --- between the perspective of the reconciling field of the immeasurable Holism and its fluxing Perspectives of particulars. They don't rain down manna because of common faith in "free trade" among carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores.
As we become "human beings" (not Nazis or pagans), we come to intuit (not control, confine, regulate, replicate, or reduce to test tubes) our feedback with the Reconciler. To me, the Reconciler is the Source of unfolding moral purposefulness in personhood. While our particular lifes, insofar as they are measurable, are mere evanescent wisps ("maya"), they are meaningful in that what they express (signify) is the relation of our particular perspectives of Identity with the holism (Signifier) of Identity. IMO.
Behind our particular perspectives abides an immeasurable but intuitable Essence, which abides as the Identity that is the Source for communicating conscious, meaningful experience. As "human beings" evolve towards a deeper appreciation of that, I think some of the pagan cataracts that hinder our sight and understanding will fall away. Then, we will stop believing in single-dimensional, pagan constructs as if they could replace the Spiritual Reconciler (God). Then, each and every person, as an Individual Human Being, not as a pawn for nomenklatura communists or crony corporatists (pagan collectivists), will more in common feel the Invitation to seek meaningful expression beyond simply and linearly aggglomerating material wealth via deceptions under pagan labels like "free trade." Free trade with godless Nazis is not free.
Spiritually, we are already, innately, part of a collective: the collective field of consciousness (Great Spirit, for those who are part Native American), whose logos interpenetrates all around us. However, our development as human beings depends upon our apprehension of that, as individually dignified human beings --- not as serfs to any godless mind enslaver or fake holy man pretending to be the inerrant mouthpiece of God.
The problem with one dimensional free trade arguments with everyone is that they make about as much real world sense as arguments for free sex with everyone. Oh, I almost forgot. That's the other shoe forward.
Free trade with free nations is good. Free trade with despots ought not be allowed to pass as a euphemism for open season on artificially enserfed labor. Is the enrichment of the Chinese economy tending to produce more wealth among liberty-literate people, or is it producing wealth for buying influence in American government in order to convert America to a banana republic that will be vulnerable to Chinese style technology and despotism? Have our trade policies helped make us safer and better off today than we were 25 years ago? I wonder what kind of arguments academics could make to support open borders, so we can have free shopping for cheap labor. I suspect Soros' think tanks could help.
True enough. And if I pull a wallet to bribe pols and to hire two out ot three men to vote to elect pols to use government guns to suck support from the third man in order to keep him from competing with me, how is that not faux socialism? Faux socialism is crack cocaine to keep the bozombies at bay. As socialist elites sacrifice middle class producers in order to keep the masses from feeding on them, they turn ever more from managing surplus to managing scarcity. Faux socialism exists. Socialism in the fairie tale sense of fairly leveling and spreading wealth does not.
The socialist establishment is a ball of big gov metrosexual snakes. The rinodinocronydom is about big borderless gov, owned and operated by international corporatists bent on reducing the world to a lowest common denominator pool of liberty-illiterate serfs, er, laborers. These snakes are corrupting women and femimen to the "impersonal carnality" of big porn gov. These fork-tongues are not our friends. They are slithering slavers.
The key problem with politically feminist socialism as a substitute for charities, guardians, parents, and families is that it requires big central gov. The metrosexual agenda throws its gates wide open to big gov. Its advocates hubristically assume that those who are trusted with the ring of power to run big gov can be worthy of such great trust. They cannot. When great power is given to any mortal, it must be eternally, vigilantly monitored. And when a crisis is over, and reasonably protective measures have been taken, the power must be curtailed. No open-ended authorizations to wage war or to pen executive orders that rescind what is supposed to have been legislation. To get the idea, picture Hilary with absolute power.
Well, capitalism can also relate to: Gangsta cronyism, the means for financing the cornering of markets, the cannibalizing of industries, the buying of regulations to obstruct others, the investing in arms to sell to all sides of a conflict, the stirring of division to set up hedging opportunities for tipsters, the peddling of influence to connive with trade restrictions, the artificial creation of demand by focusing messages through owned media and advertising, the careful perpetuation of debt servitude, and the relentless construction of complex regulations so that the law means nothing, except that those who lack great wealth cannot stand up to the arses who pretend to be administering it.
In those senses, a war on Gangsta crony capitalism would make no more sense than a war on terrorism. Instead, common sense is needed. Control the borders; nurture a liberty-literate electorate; restore spiritual respect for judeo-christian values; protect kids from predators; reduce the size of government; let people learn how to cooperate and compete more among themselves; teach boys to be hardy; teach girls how not to crumble when bullied; stop educators from requiring politically correct tolerance in ways that preclude so many debates out of fear of hurting feelings; respect property but not to the point of availing oligarchs to buy politicians or pull a debt strait jacket over the nation; establish measures for defending the nation against the rise of a new arse-tocracy of oligarchs. In short, down size the central gov, respect God, reduce the role of gov in the charity business, protect the nation, stop using gov as nanny, stop raising kids to become forever dependent on the gov as nanny. Teach boys not to conflate acting like girls as if that were part of growing up. Stop the metrosexual gay political agenda bs. Arse-tocrats have been able to foist much of the craziness of big nanny gov onto us under the guise of do-gooder feminism. Ladies and femimen -- big gov is not your friend. It is not your husband. Not your champion. Not decent. It is the mask of great evil, posing as progressive. Please, in the name of sanity and decency, help lasso this monster. Mark it, brand it, and saw off its horns.
Fair means never having to say you're sorry for taking Whitey's stuff.
Because America has become a corpse-man, America wants now to be "fair" to all who wish to eat of us. America is being reduced to something like the rotting carcass of a male angler fish, face rotted into its ruling mate so that only its gonads need be harvested, while its mate continues to shine a glow light to attract all the denizens of the dark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Bbpa...
Our metrosexual elite educators have done a helluva job.
How does a godless oligarchy tighten its screws? It does not have to consciously conspire, although it's seminars for how to agglomerate
wealth do push that effect. All it needs is for its members to follow
some simple, common rules. Much as patterns emerge among murmuring
and flocking birds, simple oligarchic behaviors facilitate the emergence
of certain patterns of fundamental change. In effect, opportunity
combined with simple habits of individual greed generate algorithms, by which complex patterns of abuse occur against those who are less fortunate.
In the West, the emerging consequence is as follows:
- oligarchs make endowments to fund the advancement of profs who are bent towards spreading contrived and diversionary pretense among the masses;
- they contrive to "scientifically educate" the masses to look for their
moral instruction to the government (which is controlled by oligarchs), instead of to a reconciling spirit;
- they "scientifically" re-define fundaments of the social constitution to mean whatever they would mean in an Orwellian paradise;
- enserfers teach the masses to deploy government as their "liberator," to liberate themselves from the hang ups of traditional family responsibilities;
- oligarchs pretend to be concerned about the environment, in order to regulate, confine, and harness the activities of all workers;
- the attention of the masses is diverted from taxing oligarchic wealth and consumption to taxing middle class income;
- Oz-monkey agents are deployed far and wide to punish middle class evaders of an income tax code that no one can understand because it is not meant to be understandable, but only to be enforceable;
- the most wealthy learn to pretend to want to spread wealth, by increasing the number of welfare recipients, while blaming the reduction in size of per capita benefits on resisters among the middle class;
- the masses are encouraged to revile border protectors as isolationist nativists, while oligarchs import cheap labor in order to monopolize the labor market;
- the most wealthy acquire control over all media and institutions of mass persuasion;
- they acquire hedge control over all major currencies and stocks;
- they lie to assure the masses we are all in the same boat and all receiving the best care possible under the circumstances, which they blame would improve if only the middle class would stop interfering;
- they evade responsibility for the most incapable of losers by conditioning them to love being pimped into addiction, so they can be shunted aside to live under overpasses or to be satisfied with substandard care.

Bottom line: The masses are duped by community agitators, who work for funders, who work for an oligarchy. A NWO emerges. Actually, it re-emerges, since it is not new, and it is only orderly in that its means of control are screwed down as never before. Thus, the masses are duped to be put under under the control of oligarchs, for the purpose of milking the producing middle class. The more the screws are tightened on the middle class, the less need the oligarchy feels to honor its lying promises to the masses. Thus, absent an enlightened and vigilant ("liberty-literate") middle class, humanity reverts to its default condition: enserfment under a god-forsaken oligarchy of moral sociopaths, aligned with zombie addict Dims.
