And there’s more from Dewey From Detroit.
Independence Day Recast?
July 4, 2012 2 Comments
Have you seen the movie Independence Day? If you have then you would know that aliens have invaded our world. There are aliens in the air and, you might agree, there are aliens on the ground in the form of the cast.
A blurb about the movie from the IMDb website: “The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy. Fighting superior technology, Man’s best weapon is the will to survive.”
Man’s best weapon here may be to laugh off this farce. I like sci-fi. I think Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey and the original The Day the Earth Stood Still directed by Robert Wise are some of the best in that genre. But this movie is epic as pathetic slap-stick sci-fi. Of course you can’t take it seriously.
Will Smith’s pre~Men~In~Black typecasting of silly No Fear bravado and Randy Quaid’s dad~is~crazy~but~somehow~his~zaniness~endears~us~to~him role adds fuel to this trash can fire. The role of President Thomas Whitemore is played by a stiff whose part would have better played better by a teleprompter. Jeff Goldblum as David Levinson portrays an MIT educated-computer expert~chess playing~environmentalist~satellite tech~you~name~it~he’s~got~the~answer~for~you~kind~of~guy who ‘triangulates’ the four corners of this going-nowhere movie.
The movie’s special effects won an Academy Award and I’ll never know why. The effects are third-rate at best. (I thought Twister should have won that year). The movie does, though, offer something for the political observer ~ a perfect realization of the Obama presidency.
The dark, foreboding and humongous space ship hovering over Washington D.C. is a perfect archetype of the Obama Administration. Out of the bottom of the ominous alien craft come lethal rays: Obamacare taxes and immigration fiats. Cities and people’s lives are instantly destroyed. America is under attack.
There is no reason given for why this is happening other than America is America and the aliens say that America must die. So it is that Eric Holder, an onerous chief alien, sits in the mother ship’s ivory tower directing America’s destruction with reserved glee.
“It’s the end of the world as we know it.” At least for America as we have known it.
…The space ship is hovering….
Constance (the President’s Press Secretary): “Now what do we do?
President Thomas Whitmore: “Address the nation. There’s gonna be a lot of frightened people out there.”
Constance: “Yeah, I’m one of ’em.”
Wow! Someone save us from the dialog! Thankfully the brave and ‘wacky’ heros played by Will Smith and Randy Quaid) come to America’s aid and help bring an end to this distraction of a movie.
Using viral computer ‘implants’ and sexy aircraft maneuvering the alien ‘death’ ship is decimated but only after hundreds of minor skirmishes with the pesky alien ‘gnats’ (the larva born in Obama’s ideological intransigence or perhaps in Jeff Goldblum’s The Fly movie).
The next time you watch this movie listen to the dialog. It deserves a Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot of Mystery Science Theatre over dubbing!
We can turn a movie off when the Hollywood kitsch gets to be too much or when the credits (and debits) finally roll. But we can’t turn off government when it makes no sense. Except if you and I begin voting it out of our lives.
Do you want freedom from annihilation by Obamacare taxation? How about “Fighting for our right to live ~ to exist” without own government’s tyranny, oppression and persecution? How about freedom from government’s intrusion of our privacy and its coercive mandates? Will the middle class now go quietly into the night now that it is being taxed into oblivion?
America’s Independence began when it resisted taxation without representation. Now we have representation that doesn’t represent our best interests and that mimics King George’s taxation edicts. Let’s throw off the shackles of tyranny and vaporize the black cloud of government that overshadows us wherever we go. Vote Obama and the Dems out.
It is confirmed. There is alien life out there. They are living among us: Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Holder, Napolitano, Durbin, Charles Rangel, Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren…
Outsourcing
August 23, 2011 Leave a comment
The radio message came at 22:01:44.9 Martian time: “The Community-Organizer-in-Chief has left the Washington DC Bureau of Breadlines and has fled to his Martha’s Vineyard compound.”
It was to be expected. The People’s Economy had turned on him. Unfed jobless (and tattooed) masses were walking the streets looting, robbing and killing for food. Washington, the center for The People’s Economy was no longer safe. But, we felt safe in our star-ship Gorforit. That is, Friedrich and I felt safe. My name is Milton.
You should know that there were many Capitalists in The People’s America when the Hope and Change Desolation began ten years ago. But, since that time, there is now only a small remnant left.
Back then we were called the “Free-Market-eers.” As such, we were constantly booed and jeered by The People’s Media. Flash mobs of union workers, guided by The People’s Media, attacked us. And though we were peace-keeping people, many of us were battered and some lost their lives. At one point it became so bad that corporate jet owners were being hung openly on the Mall, right in front of Lincoln Memorial.
How did this all begin? A Progressive candidate (The Candidate) won the presidential election in 2008. This newly elected president began to stir up class warfare among the people. He incited people to turn against each other, neighbor against neighbor, because of money. The People’s Media joined in.
In 2011 a “Lean Forward” campaign was launched by the People’s Media. Soon, the slothful, the dimwitted and the envious began to call themselves “The Forward Thinkers” or the “Lean-Forward Thinkers” – commonly known as the “LFT”. Their numbers, mostly union workers and unemployed college graduates with useless degrees, grew rapidly.
The People’s Media which had once campaigned for The Candidate in 2008, now campaigned for the Lean-Forward group. The campaign encouraged these marauders to take from the rich (those who had a job and some income) and to give to the “under-privileged” – those who saw what others had and wanted the same things.
From the Oval office the president, via regular People’s Media broadcasts, told the citizens that government was the best mechanism to handle society’s problems. So, with the help ‘elected’ representatives he began to take away the people’s money through taxation. People were no longer able to donate to charities or to directly help their neighbor. Every dollar was excised from the people for the people in The People’s Economy.
The People’s Media, rousing the animal passions of the LFT members, encouraged demonstrations to take place against Free-Marketeer businesses. Soon, though, the demonstrations were replaced with random looting and pillaging of stores. Strife increased between merchant and customer, neighbors and friends.
Our nations’ economy, once strong and vibrant because of free-market exchange, was now subject to the whims of recalcitrant, angry mobs and inept tyrannical leadership. It quickly deteriorated until our present time.
So, a plan was decided at our last Capitalist conclave held in a secret hiding place near Mount Rushmore. Two of us would go to Mars and begin a free market economy on a new planet. Both Friedrich and I volunteered to go. We were the oldest in the group. If something happened we were both prepared to die.
We had the star-ship Goforit but not the fuel. The People’s Economy rationed both fuel and food. So, we had to put our heads together to find a solution. Now, we had done similar things like this before so we were not overly concerned but time was running out.
There was no IPO for this venture, no influx of cash. The US dollar had folded. Instead, we had to learn to create fuel out of gold bullion. And, as it turned out, a small amount of this fuel would take us all the way to Mars. Once there we could also use it to barter with the Martians. They have no gold on Mars but they do have good underground living quarters for the two of us. We could set up shop very quickly. In fact, it was the Martians who had offered to help us. They would benefit from us. It would be a mutually beneficial relationship, something no longer found in The People’s America.
We all believed, the Free-Market-eers, that is, that there would be defectors from the People’s Economy but we didn’t know when. Things were getting nasty in The People’s America. So we decided to plan ahead and get ready for the influx of homeless and hungry. We had to start somewhere new. Somewhere that wouldn’t be affected by The People’s Media.
It seemed to us that Mars was the best option since there was a significant time delay for any radio signal to reach that planet. And better yet, The People’s Media Broadcasts would easily get lost within the noise of space radiation and our own Sun’s solar flares. “Bingo,” I said when I heard this.
*****
“Milton”, Friedrich spoke glancing out Goforit’s small window at the silent Martian orb, “soon you and I will be able to start our booming life again, but this time, on the Red Planet!”
Milton replied, “A laissez-faire world at last. To Mars or bust, my friend, to Mars or bust.”

More of Less?
July 28, 2012 Leave a comment
You have a choice in November. You could choose more of the same deficit leadership or you can choose wisely.
You can choose Obama’s anti-capitalist Marxist socialism which seeks to “materialize” everything in its path including you. Obamacare is only the beginning of this dehumanizing process. You can choose to exalt redistributive materialism to the neglect and hurt of your own soul.
You can choose more bureaucracy and more IRS agents and less control of your own life and property. You can choose to increase government’s monopoly and its power grab of the private sector. You can choose to be just another cog in the collective. You can choose sameness for the sake of egalitarianism.
You can choose Obama’s class and race warfare, a malignant stratifying of people into special interest groups. One civil war in this nation wasn’t enough, right? One nation under Obama? It will never happen! Obama works to polarize the nation, to make some people more favored than others thereby tossing justice by the wayside. You can choose more rancor and strife and less community.
You can choose more voter fraud, more Black Panther intimidation. You can choose more Eric Holder and his Fast and Furious lying. And you can choose more injustice and less rule of law.
You can choose Obama’s devotion to special interest groups such as the environmentalists and his own circle of friends (Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s Solyndra’s buddies, etc.). You can choose favoritism over equal opportunity.
You can choose more homosexuality and with it bullying disguised as “Diversity.” You can choose less family values when you vote for Democrats.
You can choose his “You didn’t build that” rhetoric and decide that you really are too stupid to build anything on your own. You can choose Obama’s shaming you into submission and less his offer of incentives to even try to succeed.
You can choose more abortions and more food stamps and more bureaucracy and more people telling you what to do, what to eat, what to drive and how to spend your money. You can choose endless higher taxes, more casinos, ever-increasing debt. That’s the Obama way.
You can choose to pay for Obama to play more golf so that he can relax while he’s thinking about the millions of people who are out of work. (BTW: Obama has played more than 100 rounds of golf in three and one-half years compared to Bush’s 25 rounds in eight years! And, Obama has had only one cabinet meeting so far this year. It is now the end of July!) You can choose more of same insipid leadership and less vision. Or, you can choose wisely.
Per the unspoken rhetoric of Obama and Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi they are counting on the rich to succeed. They hope the 1% will provide enormous tax revenues to pay for all of their Great Society gambling debts. These Democrats promote class warfare against the very rich believing that the middle class will benefit. But nothing happens in isolation. The middle class will suffer if the very rich are no longer able to invest their money. This type of over-arching economic thinking is lost on the Democrats. They are only looking for the short-term power and money grabs.
These political fat cats want to control free enterprise thereby keeping individuals from creating wealth which aids human flourishing. In so doing they can keep their hands in till. They gain access to their “fair share” in the pea and shell game of government. This is called “Progress” but “political corruption” is its true name.
These snake-oil salesmen, the Democrats, will tell they have a cure for society’s ills: higher taxes. They believe that if they can just throw more money at a problem that the problem will magically go away. This “lets-be-reasonable” irrational thinking is exactly the same type of thinking behind the extensive guns laws passed by the City of Chicago, the strictest gun laws in the nation. Their shot-gun approach to passing guns laws has not resulted in a decrease in violent gun-related crime in this city. Rather, Chicago’s murder rate is the highest in the nation. But the Democrats of the state of Illinois aren’t saying much about that. No. Now they want to throw more gun laws at the bullets. More of less. That is the Democrat’s answer to our dying culture. Maintaining political power is more important than the people on the streets. They march in your parades while backtracking on your best interests.
The only tools in Obama’s “community organizer” bag are raising taxes and blaming others. That’s all you’ll ever get from Obama and the Democrats. That, and more casinos. You can vote for more of the same anemic leadership, more scapegoating and less vision. You can vote for more economic stagnation, more radicalism, more of less.
You can also choose European style top-down government and place yourself at the bottom of another list. You can choose a culture of dependence for yourself and your kids. Our national debt is the insurance policy of our nation’s ongoing slavery to debt. Obamacare is just the name on one of the policy brochures.
With your vote you can choose Democrats and the decline of America. You can choose more of the same devastation to individual liberty. You can choose the monopoly of government.
The Democrat party is the party of less liberty. You can vote for less liberty but in doing so our nation, without your individual dynamic of liberty put to good use, would soon implode and become the vacuum that totalitarianism rapidly fills without ever asking for your vote.
I’ll leave you with this interesting statement from Chairman Mao on April 30, 1971:
