When a man appeals to you as a member of some group - be it race, gender, ethnic group, sexual orientation - his object is to by-pass your mind. He recognizes, not for a minute, that people in those groups are in various conditions in life - some are poor, some are wealthy, and some are in-between; some are employees and some are employers. His every statement is intended to by-pass your mind, your basic means of survival. That is the essence, the hallmark, of a racist. So, here goes our President fully into that territory.
Our President is now dealing with us on the level of managing farm animals.
I now declare President Obama completely and irrefutably unfit to be our President. The man never wanted to be President of all of the people. He has been ginning up, under Rev Wright's influence as well many others, that the Civil War never happened and it means nothing. He came to be President for some people at the expense of other people, about as good a prescription for eternal war as you can find. The man is mad, as in insane.
Given that this man is anti-mind and that it is the size of one's sob story that gains his favor, no sane person can in any way be connected to him. He is as toxic as they come and if one gives him any quarter, you will become poison yourself, infecting yourself and your friends and associates. Beyond his danger politically, he's a profound danger personally at the level of one's spirit and motivation to seek the best within oneself.
We all must distance ourselves from him and declare him what he is and what we (you and me as individual persons), distinct from him, are. Those who fell in love with him or got attached to his hope, are going to have to go through "falling out of love," not a necessarily easy thing to do. I have compassion for that process, but the results are the crucial thing, not what it takes to cause the results. Further, when you get clear as to what is going and where it is leading, the love affair will be over.
America as the only home of a free people will survive - hopefully stronger. To be rid of this toxic influence is not going to take business as usual. It is going to take becoming a leader in one's conversations and speaking out regarding this. This is imperative if we are to have a future.

Our First FUCK-YOU President
Obama has taken to openly mocking people - people, if he were President of all the people - whose concerns ought to be heard. He, however, has no interest in that. In particular, in Miami at a Democratic fundraiser where he outdid himself (or is it undid himself?) he laughed, lied about his lowering taxes, and then outrageously made fun of millions of people across the nation who are rebelling at his takeover of the government for his narrow ideological purposes, and the high taxes and lowering standard of living this implies. Obama, being ignorant about producing positive, life-affirming results, prefers to be some small-time mind (or is non-mind?) that only talks to his people and gets his jollies by making fun of the people who aren't there. (Remember those stupid people who cling to their guns and religion he cited while speaking to a multi-thousand dollar plate fundraiser in California?) This cocky and perilous road will surely end where he doesn't want it to go.But then how would I know. A FUCK YOU president has got to be a FUCK IT type of guy.

You Know What's So Great About Butler?
So many people have been inspired by Butler University's Bulldogs playing their heart out in the NCAA Basketball Tournament's final game. They lost to Duke University's Blue Devils when their final shot did not score.
It's true that Duke won, but the conversation I'm hearing are about Butler and Butler's coach, Brad Stevens. They captured the national attention.
Do you know what it is about Butler?
They do not have a shred of that attitude known as "I'm entitled." They know they have to earn whatever they get. They have no illusions about it. Their conversations are always oriented around that rather than a fixed position - such as winning/losing, being a winner/loser, etc. Their mission is not about the transient accomplishments so much as the opportunity that striving for the accomplishments provides to learn about oneself and grow.
This is great. Honorable. Ennobling. Soooo what is needed at this time.
And that's what I love about Butler right now.

Here's The Conflict
This video reveals the heart of the matter. It does not reveal the ultimate authority in the matter however.
Mr. Hare is all good intentions. He says nothing about how he is going to provide the health care coverage. For him, the sob story is the end of the story. He wants to fix the hurt.
However, his actions belie his intentions because he cannot fix the hurt - not his way. Rather he is a cause to have the United States Government take out its force mechanism - taxation with gun toting individuals and prisons behind it - and take the money from you and me without our consent in order to fulfill HIS intentions. His actions tell me a deeper intention - to cause more hurt and give "hurt" a forum for its existence. (In other words, Hare is a spiritual parasite of those who can do something about the hurt - the doctors and the producers who support them - and is seeking to bring the world of parasitism into existence by government fiat.
All of this, to be accurate, is not about intentions. There are many people who would like to see a person who needs something have it and are, believe it or not, willing to do something about it. The issue here is about the MEANS of fulfilling one's intentions. Some are willing to use the means of the criminal and call it something else. Others are not.
And this is where the Constitution comes in. Our government via the Constitution is designed to protect the right of every human life to his life, as distinct from all life. The first obvious consequence of this agreed-to purpose is that the government cannot go out in the land and initiate force against, destroy and diminish, other human lives in order to do that. To do so negates the reason for its existence as a government of human beings, at least in these United States. (This principle is not unique to the United States. It's true for all human beings formed into political units.)
No one is here because they agreed to be a slave - a means to someone else's ends. That's not to say that a person couldn't agree to that - at least temporarily. I am saying that I have not and won't agree to that and, I doubt I could find anyone who would agree to that - even among the moochers who expect to benefit from the slavery. (I don't recall any black slaves telling their masters to give them everything they need to live and they would agree to being their slave. Somehow it doesn't work that way.) I challenge you to find such a person. Further, I wouldn't want to live in a country with such a philosophy because I would know that I am creating enemies which overhang any success I might achieve. In other words, there is no freedom in any gain one might make. (This, by the way, is a cost O and the Democrats will have to pay in the future.)
The Obama Administration and Democrat Party have taken up creating all US citizens as dependents - doormats - to be stepped on and used up in any way that it's whims dictate. (Here's an apt image, though unsavory. The government will "use you and throw you away like a used rubber." "Throwing you under the bus," the form of this behavior is the form associated with Obama. It's the same thing.) Once we accept being dependent, we have the government not only for material sustenance and benefits, but for keeping all those angry slaves away from us so they won't hurt us and steal our stuff. O is in the process of forming a giant protection racket.
Sorry! That ain't happening! Not with my consent.
So what we see is that Obama and the Democrats have become another scourge of history. All the people who consider themselves doormats already are happy to have Obama and the Democrats force some goodies out of other people for them. The leaders' biggest concern is the anger of the "slaves." They think that if the general population sees some irrational act on the "slaves'" part, they will rush over to the government's side for protection. Not me. I'm on the "slaves'" side. All of this shows how ignorant of the larger principles our leaders are, why the Tea Parties are growing, and how dependent they are on maintaining and fostering this ignorance.
Is there any doubt they are venal? For many of them, politics and political science has been a life long profession. Frankly, I don't see how Obama and the Democrats can be anything other than venal. This is so especially since the collapse of the great socialist experiment - Soviet Russia. Socialism, i.e., redistributionism or progressivism, doesn't work because it cuts the society off from the life force that is needed to keep it going.
America is the incarnation of the realization that access to that life force for the good of each and all of us means that you have to recognize it in every human being. It is an individual thing. It is not just a good idea nor a group thing. Individual Rights is nothing more than acknowledging the conditions in society that protect a person's life and let him live as a human being. Beyond that, insofar as the government is concerned, life is up to you. (Culturally the existence of America reveals that we have become ignorant of these larger principles in recent times. This is a modern phenomena - one of the last 100 years or so.)
It is the principle of life itself, not just a political notion of some kind, that is at stake in America right now. Obama and the Democrats are not going to be able to produce the "just" society they claim. Contrary to theorists, life is not fair and one cannot make it fair. Life is not fair because it follows the law of cause and effect, not some idealized end result. "Fair," in the Obama context of that term, is an utopia. It is a dream without a reality. (In our times, we use the word fair to call up some notions that undermine the real issue - justice. Justice on the other hand depends on ownership. Without ownership, the words "justice" or "what's fair" are means to separate you from what is rightfully yours - namely your property you were born with or earned. This is why property rights are so crucial to a working, prosperous, life-affirming society.)
What we are going to have to confront for the first time in history is this: A person's concern for his neighbor is an individual concern and if you don't have this concern, then you don't have it. There could be many reasons why you don't. It certainly doesn't, at least according to my code of ethics nor any objective code of ethics, mean you are evil if you don't have it. Likewise, it doesn't mean you are good if you do have it. Whether you consider it worthwhile to worry about your neighbor or have it as a value is up to you. One thing is certain, it cannot be a duty.
Perhaps if we could tell the truth about this, we would learn something about whether we really value a society of people or not and under what conditions that is so or not. When we are ready to confront this, we will be able to tell the truth and mature. And then maybe we will be in a position to let go of the politician as some arbiter of human life. No one is. It can be no one's job to do that. The moral authority for your life is you. It's yours - all yours.
The truth is, the real, magnificent possibility of human society has yet to be discovered.
Until then, Mr. Hare is just another waaaa, waaaa, waaaa - unwilling to grow up, be responsible and think, and live among adult human beings. If we follow his moral code, it would be time to throw him under the bus. If we follow mine, it is time to make an example of his views and attitude, and vote him out of office.

The Ironic, Bedeviled O
President Obama pretends he is the most forward of Presidents, bringing people government health care. I assert the exact opposite is true. He is the most backward of Presidents.
The idea which has been on the march ever since the Greeks discovered it is FREEDOM. The United States so far is the high water mark in this most basic human striving. Political freedom is the idea that it is possible to determine the course of one's life and safely live in society.
Barack Obama is acting out his belief that political freedom is not deserved by any man and that a government has the right to determine a man's life in every detail. In the grand scheme of things, this has Barack Obama be the most backward President that America has ever had.
At this point in his Presidency, I see nothing he's done that is going to provide more freedom. If I am provided government health care, this is not going to provide more freedom. Rather, it is going to provide long lines and post-office-style bored employees waiting on us when they get to it. Further, given the history of government health care systems, we know that the service will become backward and likely largely worthless. (Cuba's health care is worse than worthless - contrary to the story of Michael Moore who was Potemkinized by Cuban authorities.) In the future, any time our health matters, we will be getting on a plane heading for a Caribbean Isle or India or somewhere else. What was available and not that expensive will now become unavailable to the ordinary man. We will be the two-tier society: The haves and the have-nots. The people Obama uses to justify his programs will definitely be in the have-nots. In fact that group will grow; I don't think there is any question about that.
But that is merely healthcare. The most backward area of President Obama's actions has been in his partisanship. He has never been the President of all the people. He's sought from the beginning to set one man against another and there is no doubt that his government is the most racist, most partisan government in modern times, although they constantly deflect this by accusing everyone else of racism. Now this is IRONIC, given that it is their minds that keep asserting this, thus planting where it wasn't.
Although this has been growing for years, I see the Census as nothing but a racist and redistributionist questionnaire. It's purpose is to allocate to races and various groups of people according to their need as determined by the government. All of this implies, of course, that the other race(s) and people who earn money end up providing. This is incredibly unjust, soooo wrong. It is not only a crime to the people perpetrated against, it undercuts the future of those it supposedly is designed to help. And yet, this President and the Democratic Party are embracing this whole hog. This is Dark Age stuff.
It is clear to me that we are headed for some kind of showdown. And, I blame Barack Obama for being so against his "goddammed America" that he appears hell bent on taking her to her knees. One thing is for sure, there is no future for America in his works. What, pray tell, is his winning at the expense of the country? To all else, he is vacant, and the whole of us doesn't matter one whit.
Hopefully Barack Obama will be the only anti-American President we will ever have.

Democrat Death Watch
Many have predicted that the Democratic Party is committing suicide. That is dependent on whether people see their actions (which I do) as the murder of the American ideal and the idea that YOU own your life. If so, then they will be voted out and the party will either go off into the dustbin of history along with the socialist ideal, an ideal that died when we saw that the Soviet Union was a sham that depended on repressing all information and knowledge, killing some 30 millions by preventing them from being able to farm and do the things they needed to do to survive, locking people into a giant prison behind armored walls, and creating a condition of universal poverty so the people could never produce and trade themselves into some state of prosperity.
The essential problem with socialism is that it either forces people or lures them to be dependent on the government. It says, "Here Kitty, kitty, kitty" and the "cats" walk into the government trap and are never able to escape thereafter. They are prevented in every possible way from using their brains for their survival. For that they must wait on the government. Instead of you owning your life and using it however you choose, you become a resource of the government to use however it wants.
If America does take action, then the Democrats' current ideas are going to have to go. How this will happen, we will see. Here are the ones that have so far voted YES to murder America. One is a Republican and two are Independents.

Hello Suckers!
Mr. PonziSo you think you are going to get something for nothing?
One thing that is clear from the bill is that it is racist. Therefore anyone who wants a doctor who succeeds on merit should not select a black or Hispanic doctor. They are instructed in the bill to be given preference over all other applicants. Go here for an elucidation on this point.

Welcome to Slavehood!
If Health Care is a right, then slavery is a right.
"Step right up! All able-bodied workers are here-by conscripted into perpetuity.
"Thanks men, especially the doctors. Of course we don't want to forget all you worker bees out there too. You will shoulder the brunt of the costs. America thanks you. Slaves are good and I, BO, am kind."
__________________________________
Wait! There may be some problems. Not everyone wants to fall into line.
Andrew Bernstein writes on Facebook today: "If the government takes over health care, I will refuse to buy their package, refuse to pay the fine imposed, and make them arrest me. I will broadcast my refusal to cave to socialism on my website, on Facebook, to my students, in my lectures, and on the radio. I will fight this in the courts--or will the DC Fascists suspend the right to trial by jury? I suspect--and hope--that millions of Americans will do the same."
___________________________________
News Flash: Washington says they did not want to have to get into the tough stuff, but it looks like the first wave of prisoners will be sent to the first prison in the American Gulag. No name on which one of the 22 designated sites will be selected.
News Flash: 40% of America's doctors walked off the job. "Screw this. No future, no work. Bye."
News Flash: Patients can't get served as the long lines were more than they could bear with a toothache. They went home and pulled their own teeth and had two shots of whiskey.
New Flash: Liberals crumpling. They thought passing Government Health Care would assuage their consciences since the program would forever ensure the good, and by implication their goodness. Now they are seeing their own parents and children hauled off to prison. "What happened? You can't blame me. I am good. I AM, I tell you."

America
America: The only country that ever gave a man a chance to be his own somebody.
What happened? People took her up on the offer, made something of themselves and created the greatest, most prosperous, most generous society ever known to man.
Then along came Barack Obama. He said, "This society sucks. How do I know? Look at this person who is suffering. A man or a society is worthy not by its achievements but by what it has not achieved, not what they made of themselves but by what they failed to make of themselves. Therefore, turn America upside down. Enslave the prosperous to the poor, the clean to the unclean, the achievers to the slackers, the proud to the poor in spirit. I will be The One to offer hope to the downtrodden, the moochers and the looters, and forcibly transform all agreements among men into my orders."
What did America do? Being achievers, she turned herself into a zero overnight. She never learned the next lesson: How to grow and prosper through and beyond a flood of abundance.
What did Obama do? He died an old man, rocking on a front porch, still smoking cigarettes and drinking too much. He had carried out his life purpose, a small-minded purpose which was all he was capable of: Deliver the hotshots to hell, ruin the possibility that America ever was, and end Hope forever. He couldn't help being proud and, oh yes, righteous.
(Image from Drudge Report, 3-16-10)
Oh yah, forgot. His daughters disowned him even though he had been famous. They got tired of being judged by what they weren't rather than what they were.

Who's Going to Save America?
The Government Health Care Issue comes to a head this week. What is the essence of the push to make sure that Government Health Care is established in America - this in the face of America having the best health care in the world? Most people do not want it and anyone who votes for it will likely end a martyr for the cause - losing his seat in Congress.
Government Health Care is a necessity for one reason: It ends individualism! It ends people being responsible for themselves, thinking for themselves and creating the life they want to live. It ends the value of people who invent, create, and do what it takes to be an entrepreneur in any field and area of human life.
Why does Barack Obama care? Why do the people who surround him care? Some hate America, individual rights and it's political/economic system, capitalism. They think they are the bane of the earth, unleashing free men to run amok and ruin it. People are getting too much. They must be made to exist on less. "Let's have them exist in a state of velvet poverty." Consequently, they think they are justified to bring all those with more, under the thumb of all those with less. This is Barack's cudgel. "I shall take America off its white horse of noble aspirations and pride, and place her in the gutter where she belongs. I am The One."
This hatred of the individual comes down to the hatred of the individual mind. It gets expressed in many ways. The Europeans and Up-easterners derisively call it being a cowboy. All it is is the independent mind and the entrepreneurial spirit.
They think that capitalism and the individual mind it depends on is ruining the earth. They do not get that resources never go out of existence. They only transform. And given our minds, we find the next way to transform them. We've already learned so many ways to transform yesterday's trash into today's treasure.
The earth never gave us our existence. If one sits around, it does not deliver sustenance to your doorstep or lay it on your tongue. We are designed to and must fulfill on that design to transform the elements of this earth for our use. It's that or die. So, let's not get confused here and indulge in illusions. The people who want to control everything including your health hate you and they hate man. Never have I see an American president and administration so committed to the hatred of America's people.
If you ask an African if Obama rings true as an "African" president, they say "no." If you ask an African-American if Obama rings true as an African-American, they say "no." (Michelle does, he doesn't.) If you ask an American who values the system of freedom that America is, they say he doesn't ring true as an American. So who is Barack Hussein Obama? What does he ring true to?
How about this? Muslim. His first years - prior to age 6 were spent largely in the care of Muslim people and culture. He lived in Indonesia most of that time.
If you notice, Western Europe is collapsing to the Muslims. In England, in the Muslim communities, sharia law is allowed to be practiced. Sharia law is tribal, religious/mystical and anti-individual. It is the antithesis of the Enlightenment and the values it fostered - primarily reason. Muslim culture is anti-mind, anti-reason, and collectivist. It is just another old-time religion -- just as righteous and just as viciously dangerous.
Western Europe never was able to fight the anti-reason political forces because the value of the mind never was clear to the individuals in those societies. They put up with the remnants of collectivism and ended up giving birth to the major atrocities of the 20th century which were anti-reason and anti-individual.
This was not the case in America. Here we had individual rights and we came to celebrate individualism. We like what different people have to offer. We trade. Many of us grasped the value of being able to think because we made it pay off. We were able to make livings and we knew that it was our own minds that was at the source of that.
How Barack Obama is able to stand before the American people and tell one lie after another in the interest of fooling them into buying his program and being able to do so with no remorse, no guilt and no faltering is something at the root of what he is about. And after all the effort he has expended to accomplish this, he flies off to Indonesia.
Indonesia - of all places! Indonesia is where he was raise those first six years. It is the Muslim culture in which he was developed. So, if he is going home after his supposed triumph or defeat, why? And, why there? Why not Hawaii? Why not Chicago!
Barack Obama who got a bill through the Senate on Christmas Eve intends to deliver the ultimate bill on Easter. Except he will not be here. He will have arisen in Air Force One and flew to Indonesia, the place where he was raise - in his rods, the place where "the 5 o'clock call to prayer rings no sweeter." And what he hopes to deliver is a captured, subjugated America - one that has been shorn of the power of its individual thinkers (people like you and me) - one ripe for the triumph of whatever group of people is capable of taking over a culture that is unable to use its mind.
If you do not realize how captured and how subjugated, listen to the provision of the Health Care Bill HERE.
Europe must capitulate to any culture that has the wherewithal to confound and outlast the confused, conflicted Western culture. With America shorn of its minds, it will now be as Europe - powerless to do anything to stem the tide of any would-be invader - most likely Islam. The remnants of its values - the value of every individual - without the guardian of individual minds calling their own and other individual minds to account in myriad ways, is incapable of holding Islam to the requirements of reality. And thus that huge mystic system will flood the earth with its ignorance. The beacon of the possibility of freedom and consequent intelligence will be dead.
And Barack who has never found a church in America will probably go to a mosque in Indonesia this weekend deliver his gift, America, to Islam. We've seen him bow. This weekend we will see him prostrate in a combination of exhaustion and profound submission.
Does this have to happen? NO.
Not if ONE COURAGEOUS US REPRESENTATIVE saves America. All he has to do is vote NO on the Government Health Care. All he has to do is value America more than a bad joke of a bill that has nothing to do with Health Care. All he has to do is value FREEDOM over SLAVERY, freedom as the context for his personal power not as a threat to it. All he has to do is separate himself from a small group of men soon to find themselves on a dust heap.
(Does this sound a little kooky? A little extreme? When you think in principles, you don't waste your time staying confused and uncertain, frittering yourself away acting inconsistent with them. And yes they do seem black and white. They are. That's the beauty of them. Makes picking the right course so much easier than trying to waffle oneself to the right result.)

Socialism is a Suckle Machine
Ever notice how socialism requires victims? It requires them from two sides. It always portrays some people as victims and the signifier of this mentality is a dependency of one form or another. Someone else or some circumstance is the reason that things just aren't working out. This side of socialism's requirement of victims become the justification for action. "Poor baby, we must fix things for you."
And then it requires real victims which are worthy of looting for their material wealth. Currently insurance companies are being turned into victims. It's been bankers, Wall Street types, anyone with wealth.
So Socialism encourages people to suckle from the government and be dependent on the government and it, in turn, must find people from which to suckle in order to have the resources to keep the sucklers happy. It is a suckle machine. All so "babified." Eeeeww!
There is no maturity in this system. There is no adulthood. There are only immature people who do not operate by means of reason and agreement and allow their "nurturing" aspect to take over everything. This is nurturing run wild - turned into a crime against humanity.
This is so ugly. Why don't people see this? Let me guess. They have an investment in the suckle mentality - one side or the other - providing the suckling or finding the milk of production that can be high-jacked and looted for their purposes.
What is the way out of this mess? Have a purpose of your own. Be intellectually independent and follow your own conclusions.

The Incredibly Evil Democrats
Today I saw a video clip where Harry Reid made a speech reminding people that this Health Care bill is not about all our concerns. Rather, it is about the greatest sob story that one can parade before the American public.
I consider this Administration and Congress the epitome of evil. Never have I seen such a callous use of people's infirmities and hardships as a means to induce people to set aside reason and vote for a government-forced, wretched Health Care system. Obama and the Democrats are willing to raise the needy's hopes to astromonical levels that will never be achieved in the form of any kind of care that the cold and callous government would ever provide. Socialism simply has never been able to produce such a thing. There is such a disconnect between the politicians appeal to heart and their own heartlessness that frankly I cannot stomach it. The government is known not for its successes nor caring but for its failures and its ice cold hand.
Capitalism is the only systems that has people care. Socialism - Obama's system - could give a shit.
And besides this, while Reid, Obama, Michelle, Pelosi or whoever is trotting out one of their staged "needies", they are icing over all those who will have to pay for and are adversely affected by this plan. There will be millions of stories on the other side of this bill, should it pass, of the hardships that it causes. That is for certain as all of the other countries who have such a system know full well. (Are you aware that in Norway, unless you have friends or relatives who bring food to you in the hospital, you go hungry? Yes, sir.)
And believe me, the money is not going to come from the rich. Only the envy-ridden would want to believe that and thus advance that reason. As this country piles hate upon the rich, they will simply take their riches elsewhere. They may not want to, but they will anyway. They know they cannot rely on the US Government to protect their rights - since it isn't committed to protecting anyone's rights. Those left will be footing the bill. Hello! (The other phenomenon which no one will address is that people will come to hate the "needies" even more. There is nothing more disgusting than the chip-on-the-shoulder "entitled.")
But of all the things that is so galling and has been so hard to accept is that we see that there are people who actually believe that if the government uses its force to compel people to participate in a government health care system and pay for other people, that is a moral act. They say that it is the right and good thing to do.
How wrong they. Rather than a humane society that gives everyone a chance to pursue his purposes and live his life to the fullest he can imagine and wants. it straps most people down to the lowest common denominator. Since it is held in place by government force, the opportunity to be moral is reduced to insignificant choices. Consequently, and as the record shows, societies shrink in their capacities. They become like organs kept alive by suspending them in saline. They may be alive at some minimal level, but they are not really alive. (If you care to check this out, google the inventions that have come from the socialist countries. They are mostly few and insignificant and that phenomenon occurs after socialism became a basis for their society.)
A humane society is one that protects one's right to make choices. Choosing engenders responsibility for one's choices. Being responsible is the essence of maturity and wisdom. And all of that depends on the reality of property and the right to own it, use it and exchange it. This system is called capitalism. It is the only humane and moral political system yet known. Although America is the home of that system, it really is the system of the future. We have been drifting backward into the dark ages for over a hundred years. But now we are beginning to see this and many of us have had enough. And, contrary to the Left's constant railings, it is not evil. It is in fact, the only system that allows and fosters the good.
I consider this Administration and Congress the epitome of evil. Never have I seen such a callous use of people's infirmities and hardships as a means to induce people to set aside reason and vote for a government-forced, wretched Health Care system. Obama and the Democrats are willing to raise the needy's hopes to astromonical levels that will never be achieved in the form of any kind of care that the cold and callous government would ever provide. Socialism simply has never been able to produce such a thing. There is such a disconnect between the politicians appeal to heart and their own heartlessness that frankly I cannot stomach it. The government is known not for its successes nor caring but for its failures and its ice cold hand.

Government Spending Does NOT Stimulate Economic Growth
An article at The Heritage Foundation illustrates "Why Government Spending Does Not Stimulate Economic Growth." It answers the critics. Go Here!
If spending did stimulate one's economic growth then if one lost his job, the best thing to do would be to go out and borrow money to add to his house or buy a new car, right? When is government going to grasp the fact that it is not exempt from the laws of reality? The way it is operating, it appears it will not be anytime soon.

"Rebuilding the Middle Class"
THIS IS AN ALERT.
On January 25, 2010, I heard President Barack Obama use the phrase, "Rebuilding the Middle Class." Besides considering myself middle class and being deeply offended by his taking over my job of improving my life, I realized what this term means. This means that the middle class is now going to be treated as welfare and told what to do - in the so-called effort of rebuilding.
This is slavery in its modern incarnation straight up. Any programs to this effect will trap people into dependency and you will become the government's farm animal.
So now, more than ever before, stay far away from government programs and government largess in any way if you want to remain a human being in the full possibility of that term.
And the full possibility of being human is being the prime mover that you are designed to be. This means that you choose, you know that you choose and you enjoy, good or bad, the consequences. Never has the moral principle of independence been so clearly required as now.
Socialism sounds so enticing because it seeks to take care of everyone's basic needs. The only problem is that you give up being fully human. Invention and creativity become stunted from lack of necessity. If you want to understand this in technicolor, Google the inventions that have come out of socialist countries - the Scandanavians ones, e.g. You can see that ingenuity and creation basically died there once socialism got hold of those cultures - in the 1930s.
If socialism is the wave of the future, then spiritual death is the wave of the future. I'm not having it.
I just wrote my Senators about this:
Dear Senator: (Chambliss and Isakson)
Yesterday, Jan 25, 2010, President Obama used the phrase, "rebuilding the middle class." I was so offended and consider his attempts to set up programs to this effect as completely out of place in American society. This has a single purpose - causing dependency on the government.
It's my job to improve my life. I do not need rebuilding as if I'm some goddammed cog in Obama's machine.
I request that you NEVER use this phrase and you correct anyone who uses it. People have individual rights and their lives are theirs. They are not to be manipulated and stolen from in the name of some goddammed social program. The right to one's life is a right of the individual and the government has no part of that except to protect that right.
Respectfully yours,
Principlex

It's Freedom, Stupid.
With Scott Brown winning in Massachusetts on Tuesday, it's now time to lower the boom. "Obama. stop enslaving us to the State. We don't like it and it ain't happenin'. Furthermore, it's either our way or the highway."
Given that man's nature requires he produce the sustenance to maintain his life and given that most people definitely want to do that and given that there are millions of people with ideas and knowledge who can create businesses and jobs, to be able to keep that power in retreat takes a really ignorant or really diabolical person. It's almost impossible to do, but Barack Obama has done that.
How does one explain such a phenomenon? I think it takes a man with his life in reverse. Instead of focusing on life and the values that are consistent with and maintain life, he has to focus on destroying life and destroying values. He has to have some ax that he's grinding that keeps him wanting to hurt life. (Thinkers that affected President Obama were Marx, Alinsky, Cloward-Piven. All were destroyers. They built nothing. Their purpose was power for its own sake, not power for what it could be used for. Obama's entire life has been directed toward tearing things down. Producing positive results is not something he is capable of doing or has ever done. The only results he's produced are all inside the larger negative aims - namely of gaining political power and destroying political and economic freedom - better known as individual rights and capitalism.)
There are zillions of ways to do that. One that I can think of is to be taken with one's own power and not grasp that to be given the power to lead is a privilege that is continually granted and earned. And living life in reverse does cause blindness and ignorance - which is what we have seen.
It makes no difference what the world is saying about capitalism and political freedom. It works. The facts are in. There is absolutely no doubt about this. Further, the opposite, statism, doesn't work. Everyone is worse off in some way.
Human life dies under socialism. If you want to understand that look up the inventions that originated in Sweden, Norway, Denmark - three mixed socialist countries - and when they were. They weren't under socialism.
Life is not an end for anyone else's means. It cannot be and remain alive. This is a fact. Life is a process whose purpose is to work to live another day. It's purpose is to maintain its life. It's a circle of self-supporting, self-maintaining activity the end of which is its continued life.
We know this. Particularly we in America know this. So when the government starts taking over things, we know that this is not going to turn out well. We can already see that one major fact has been violated. The government has decided to use us for its means. For them, our lives are no longer ends in themselves. They are a means to their ends. This cuts to the very core of what life is and naturally it is going to meet with resistance.
And although we hear them say that they are doing it for us, we know that is a lie. The man that would use another for his purposes is not going to make it better for that person. This doesn't compute. Think about this and see if you can come up with an example that proves me wrong.
There is no alternative to political freedom unless you want to be a slave or a slave master. In the Obamanian Universe, there is no free trade, no amicable interchange among human beings, no peace. It's just one battle after another because the only way to win in that Universe is to get the power - the political power. In that world, the answer is always war.
