Hope for What and Change to What?

“…And we have abdicated our position as a world leader, as if our desire were not for security, but for exploitation – another example of that decried Colonialism which the Left sees everywhere…What greater act of colonialism than to bind a segment of own population to shame and poverty through government subsidy and by the insistence that they be judged by lower standards than the populace-at-large? We have created a permanent underclass through the ignorant and sententious operations of the mis-educated and ignorant. And we compound the legislative enormity by insistence in education on “diversity” and “multiculturalism”. These are a codependence similar in the prewar South on the Biblical support of Slavery.”
….
“Diversity” (and “multiculturalism”) is a pat on the head from the White members of my generation sufficiently inexperienced and self-absorbed to feel they are entitled to “bless their inferiors.”

2012: I’m Shovel Ready

2012: Do you really want four more years of:
- Blaming Bush for the enormous national debt incurred under Obama’s watch?
- Blaming corporate jet owners for having money? (The jets are primarily used to make sales that create & maintain jobs. BTW: Nancy Pelosi uses a government (the largest corp.)- jet.)
- Straw man arguments leading to more blaming of others and deflection of responsibility?
- Obama’s wars?
- Blaming the failure of bad economic policies on under funding (not enough tax money coming in)?
- 9.2 % unemployment, recession and inflation?
- Condescension, obstinacy & shaming?
- A destructive learning curve for a Chicago politician with no life experience other than the circle jerking of community organizing?
- Class warfare & the segregation of people into economic & social classes, turning America backwards in time?
- Inciting racism and hate speech among blacks and the liberal media?
- Being told that social justice favors the poor and takes advantage of the rich?
- Incompetence at every turn? (Did it really take much thought to pull the trigger on UBL?)
- Utter & blatant narcissism?
- No business acumen whatsoever?
- A president who blindly sides with militant Palestinians against Israel?
- A president who apologizes for the US every chance he gets (to win approval)?
- A First Lady who says living in the White House is hell.
- Knowing that your future earnings will be given to the government and that you get only pennies on the dollar in return?
- The theocracy of Socialism? Of the greed of preference?
- A “fair share” democracy which is defined by a small elite intellectual class and not by Justice?
- Putting Americans on the Road to Serfdom subject to the whims of an elite intellectual class? Of making Americans useful idiots?
- Obama’s political favoritism towards GE, labor unions and himself? Of never putting America first?
- A president who claims he is a Christian but uses Christ’s name only as a means to get his campaign in the door of churches and onto the screeds written by social justice’s “useful idiots”?
- Czars not sanctioned by Congress but paid for with your tax dollars (these people have jobs): Afghanistan Czar; AIDS Czar; Border Czar; California Water Czar; Car Czar; Central Region Czar; Climate Czar; Cyber Czar; Domestic Violence Czar; Drug Czar; Economic Czar; Energy and Environment Czar; Faith-Based Czar; Government Performance Czar; Great Lakes Czar; Green Jobs Czar; Guantanamo Closure Czar; Health Czar; Information Czar; Intelligence Czar; Mideast Peace Czar; Pay Czar; Regulatory Czar; Science Czar; Stimulus Accountability Czar; Sudan Czar; TARP Czar; Technology Czar; Terrorism Czar; Urban Affairs Czar; Weapons Czar; WMD Policy Czar
- Sloganeering: Change, Hope, Yes We Can…of spin?
- A dumb-ing down of America for equal outcomes?
- The loss of property?
- The inability to use God-given natural resources?
- The devaluation of your citizenship by this administration’s blind eye to illegal immigration (to gain political advantage)
- The list goes on…but America may not, if Obama is re-elected.

I think a lot of people, especially college kids, recent grads and sixties leftovers voted for Obama in 2008 hoping to download the Cradle to Grave Entitlement App – Push the button, download the App and government does it all: health care, social security, cheap student loans, amnesty for all, social justice, diversity…: “
A Recent Review:
“This App is fantastic. We won’t have to think or make choices. We will just be, creating our Good Ideas to save the planet, making things fair and equal. We can do this by spending the currency of veteran’s blood, blood shed giving us freedom we couldn’t handle anyway – its way too scary and too complex. Instead, we will choose not to choose. We’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden. We will then be able to enjoy the safety of our peeps (i.e., the herd)around the campfire.”
Review #2:
“With Obama and this Cradle to Grave Mobile App we can return to egalitarian Egypt where everything will be provided for us. Our lives will be neatly ordered for us. In Egypt we will all be equal and treated the same. No one will be exceptional. No one will stand out. It will finally be fair.”
Review #3:
“Here’s an APP that will satisfy my parents. They always want me to go to church. With this APP I can be religious just by texting donations to Real Celebrity causes, ASPCA, Al Gore, Planned Parenthood and even George Soros’ Media Matters to fight the evil Fox News.”
Cradle to Grave App cost: Your liberty, your freedom, your income, your choices, your self.

Palin Support Not Failin’

In this video, notice how the opposing views resort to attacking Adrienne Ross and Sarah Palin. They do not present alternative issues or constructive rebuttal. They lash out with personal attacks against both of these women.
Give Obama more time to ruin our nation? No thanks. One term was enough to break the legs of our economy.

“The urge of the Left to surrender choice and self-government for illusion, to insist upon Statism and Government rule, rather than a Government of Service, is a rejection of the lesson of Exodus.
For it is obvious to the meanest intellect that the Government cannot make cars, health care, industry in general, better than would individual human beings not only interested in but inexorably tied to the outcome of such operations. The endorsement of the Socialist, Statist system, then is not a desire for more and better goods and services, but a surrender of this desire in return for an obviation of the necessity of personal choice. It is a regression not to the tribe, but to the herd.” From the chapter titled The Red Sea
“…the change which Obama’s rhetoric referred to preceded and will follow him, accelerated by and his policies, accepted by a drugged populace and supine press. It is unfortunate descent of a productive nation into socialism, which as I understand it, is robbing Peter to pay Paul. I don’t think it’s any more complex than that.” From the chapter titled Choice.

Sarah Palin’s ‘Undefeated’ Doc Sets World Premiere for Tuesday in Iowa
“What would make a celebrity, like you saw on screen, so hate someone that they’d seek their destruction, their death, the death of their children? What would make someone be so full of hate and, I guess, a sense of being threatened that they would want to see that person destroyed?”
The movie begins with Sen. John McCain introducing his running mate, then quickly cuts to theHollywoodsign, and the music turns ominous. A TV news anchor says, “Hollywoodhas a new favorite pastime: taking aim at Sarah Palin.”
Then the celebrity montage begins: Damon likens Palin to a “really bad Disney movie” and says she’s “really scary”; Letterman attacks her, and the discourse descends in to the filthy from there. Maher insults her on his TV show, Madonna screams obscenities about her while on stage, and comedians use graphic, severely bleeped language to describe Palin and the intensity with which they “hate her.”

History as Cynicism
June 28, 2011 Leave a comment
Imagine a popular American history book that never mentions Christianity or conservatism. Pull the lever and out comes the pellet – Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, 1492-Present.
Here is a passage from Michael Kazin’s article in Dissent Magazine, talking about this cynically myopic book:
“(Howard Zinn’s) failure is grounded in a premise better suited to a conspiracy-monger’s Web site than to a work of scholarship. According to Zinn, “99 percent” of Americans share a “commonality” that is profoundly at odds with the interests of their rulers. And knowledge of that awesome fact is “exactly what the governments of the United States, and the wealthy elite allied to them-from the Founding Fathers to now-have tried their best to prevent.”
History for Zinn is thus a painful narrative about ordinary folks who keep struggling to achieve equality, democracy, and a tolerant society, yet somehow are always defeated by a tiny band of rulers whose wiles match their greed. He describes the American Revolution as a clever device to defeat “potential rebellions and create a consensus of popular support for the rule of a new, privileged leadership.” His Civil War was another elaborate confidence game. Soldiers who fought to preserve the Union got duped by “an aura of moral crusade” against slavery that “worked effectively to dim class resentments against the rich and powerful, and turn much of the anger against ‘the enemy.'”
Nothing of consequence, in his view, changed during the industrial era, notwithstanding the growth of cities, railroads, and mass communications. Zinn views the tens of millions of Europeans and Asians who crossed oceans at the turn of the past century as little more than a mass of surplus labor. He details their miserable jobs in factories and mines and their desperate, often violent strikes at the end of the nineteenth century-most of which failed. The doleful narrative makes one wonder why anyone but the wealthy came to the United States at all and, after working for a spell, why anyone wished to stay.”
“…and yet…”

WWAD?
July 14, 2011 Leave a comment
Community-Organizer-In Chief Walks Out. Barack Hussein Obama walked out of Debt Limit/Budget talks yesterday, saying “Enough is Enough”. Poor baby. When he’s not pouting he goes over to his TV station, CBS news, and begins spreading fear and panic among the public.
What’s a dysfunctional president like Obama to do? What would Barney Rangel Do? (Yeah, I know its Barney Frank and Charlie Rangel)
What would Saul Alinsky do? WWAD?
From Saul Alinsky’s 1971 book Rules For Radicals:
Opening Page – Dedication
Of Means and Ends:
In the Beginning: the Process of Power
Obama and dysfunction, Alinsky personified all over again. More battered hope, more change for the worse.
