The Man Who Lost His Voice

The phenomenon that is now becoming apparent to many of us is that no one gives a damn about what Obama thinks or has to say. He's lost his voice - which is to say, he's lost the listening that we and the world have for a long time granted him, the President of the United States.

Here is an article out of London on what is going on in the Middle East and how they definitely do not care what Obama says.

And here is an article about what the Veterans and active military think of Obama.

I'm expecting this chorus of non-believers and outright reactionaries to continue to grow. Why? Obama's word is not credible. He cannot be forthright about what he wants to accomplish and get the people on his side. He's has now manifested THE condition which has governed his Presidency - disconnected.

The other big fact is that if Obama at root is motivated to rid the world of colonial powers which he falsely claims America to be, and lasso her, the rogue, to the UN, he is going to have to learn that the Colonial/Anti-Colonial idea has passed from the motive of history. India and China and the states that now realize that production and trade is the way to a higher standard of living are not interested in getting rid of trading partners. Quite the contrary.

All of this augurs against Obama. He really is out of date and because he is, his great pretension to being a peacemaker simply will not work. He's trying to make peace not on the world's realities, but on some half-baked notions that he has about elitism, control and "I'm-going-to-set-the-world-straight-and-correct-the-injustice-to-my-ancestors." He increasingly looks ridiculous because he is pretentious, not real. His whole success depends on ginning up hatred - class hatred, race hatred, any and every kind of hatred that he can gin up - and fear - fear of the climate, fear of individual initiative, fear of a person protecting himself, fear of a person engaging in his right to free speech - all for one reason, to have people believe the grounds for his actions.

Sorry. Fewer and fewer takers.

The stark difference between how the world works and where Obama is in his thinking is brought out in this video.



I will reference other articles as they occur in the comments.

Will America Sort Herself Out?

I am publishing this article which came out in the Wall Street Journal today because I think it points to an important point that we need to get, namely, that there is a difference between the triumph of the American ideal and America's cultural achievement such that we were able to elect a black man to the Presidency, and the ideas that Obama is instituting which contradict the American ideal.

America may go down the tube because it is unable to sort this out and in the process lose the ideal that put Obama in office. I'm clear that Obama is wholly instituting a class-based, privilege-grounded society which is pre-enlightenment - you know, back to serfdom. In this sense, Obama is certainly not American.

Obama's Unspoken Re-Election Edge

This presidency flatters America to a degree that no white Republican can hope to match.

By SHELBY STEELE

May 25, 2011 Wall Street Journal

Many of the Republican presidential hopefuls should be able to beat President Obama in 2012. This president has a track record now and, thus, many vulnerabilities. If he is not our "worst president," as Donald Trump would have it, his sweeping domestic initiatives—especially his stimulus package and health-care reform—were so jerry-built and high-handed that they generated a virtual revolution in America's normally subdued middle class.

The president's success in having Osama bin Laden killed is an exception to a pattern of excruciatingly humble and hesitant leadership abroad. Mr. Obama has been deeply ambivalent about the application of American power, as if a shameful "neocolonialism" attends every U.S. action in the world. In Libya he seems actually to want American power to diminish altogether.

This formula of shrinking American power abroad while expanding government power at home confuses and disappoints many Americans. Before bin Laden, 69% of Americans believed the country was on the wrong track, according to an Ipsos survey. A recent Zogby poll found that only 38% of respondents believed Mr. Obama deserved a second term, while 55% said they wanted someone new.

And yet Republicans everywhere ask, "Who do we have to beat him?" In head-to-head matchups, Mr. Obama beats all of the Republican hopefuls in most polls.

The problem Mr. Obama poses for Republicans is that there has always been a disconnect between his actual performance and his appeal. If Hurricane Katrina irretrievably stained George W. Bush, the BP oil spill left no lasting mark on this president. Mr. Obama's utter confusion in the face of the "Arab spring" has nudged his job-approval numbers down, but not his likability numbers, which Gallup has at a respectable 47.6%. In the mainstream media there has been a willingness to forgive this president his mistakes, to see him as an innocent in an impossible world. Why?

There have really always been two Barack Obamas: the mortal man and the cultural icon. If the actual man is distinctly ordinary, even a little flat and humorless, the cultural icon is quite extraordinary. The problem for Republicans is that they must run against both the man and the myth. In 2008, few knew the man and Republicans were walloped by the myth. Today the man is much clearer, and yet the myth remains compelling.

What gives Mr. Obama a cultural charisma that most Republicans cannot have? First, he represents a truly inspiring American exceptionalism: He is the first black in the entire history of Western civilization to lead a Western nation—and the most powerful nation in the world at that. And so not only is he the most powerful black man in recorded history, but he reached this apex only through the good offices of the great American democracy.

Thus his presidency flatters America to a degree that no white Republican can hope to compete with. He literally validates the American democratic experiment, if not the broader Enlightenment that gave birth to it.

He is also an extraordinary personification of the American Dream: Even someone from a race associated with slavery can rise to the presidency. Whatever disenchantment may surround the man, there is a distinct national pride in having elected him.

All of this adds up to a powerful racial impressionism that works against today's field of Republican candidates. This is the impressionism that framed Sen. John McCain in 2008 as a political and cultural redundancy—yet another older white male presuming to lead the nation.

The point is that anyone who runs against Mr. Obama will be seen through the filter of this racial impressionism, in which white skin is redundant and dark skin is fresh and exceptional. This is the new cultural charisma that the president has introduced into American politics.

Today this charisma is not as strong for Mr. Obama. The mere man and the actual president has not lived up to his billing as a historical breakthrough. Still, the Republican field is framed and—as the polls show—diminished by his mere presence in office, which makes America the most socially evolved nation in the world. Moreover, the mainstream media coddle Mr. Obama—the man—out of its identification with his exceptionalism.

Conversely, the media hold the president's exceptionalism against Republicans. Here is Barack Obama, evidence of a new and progressive America. Here are the Republicans, a cast of largely white males, looking peculiarly unevolved. Add to this the Republicans' quite laudable focus on deficit reduction and spending cuts, and they can be made to look like a gaggle of scolding accountants.

How can the GOP combat the president's cultural charisma? It will have to make vivid the yawning gulf between Obama the flattering icon and Obama the confused and often overwhelmed president. Applaud the exceptionalism he represents, but deny him the right to ride on it as a kind of affirmative action.

A president who is both Democratic and black effectively gives the infamous race card to the entire left: Attack our president and you are a racist. To thwart this, Republicans will have to break through the barrier of political correctness.

Mr. McCain let himself be intimidated by Obama's cultural charisma, threatening to fire any staff member who even used the candidate's middle name. Donald Trump shot to the head of the Republican line by focusing on Mr. Obama as a president, calling him our "worst" president. I carry no brief for Mr. Trump, but his sudden success makes a point: Another kind of charisma redounds to those willing to challenge political correctness—those unwilling to be in thrall to the president's cultural charisma.

Lastly, there must be a Republican message of social exceptionalism. America has more social mobility than any heterogeneous society in history. Isn't there a great Republican opportunity to be had in urging minorities to at last move out of their long era of protest—in which militancy toward the very society they struggled to join was the way ahead? Aren't Republicans uniquely positioned to offer minorities a liberation from both dependency and militancy?

In other words, isn't there a fresh new social idealism implicit in conservative principles? Why not articulate it and fight with it in the political arena? Such a message would show our president as unevolved in his social thinking—oh so 1965. The theme: Barack Obama believes in government; we believe in you.

Civilization's Judas

Obama supports barbarism. He revealed his true colors today. End of report.

The Right to YOUR Life is at Stake

This is as about as clear as the issue gets. Yaron Brook speaks to the doctors.

Generation Wee

This is a frightening video of what the Progressives are working to cause. Some of the kids who are angry will kill their parents out of this justification – that everyone older than they left them a fucked-up world. They live the sob-story, born-victim life. (Remember the sob stories that Obama, Michelle, the Clintons, Pelosi and many others have trotted out?) There’s a violent future embedded here because of its naked appeal to hatred and no power but political power - power by numbers – not ideas, not values, not reason, not productivity, not self-esteem. Why don’t I get from this message their claim of political tolerance? These are the coming revolutionaries.

Progressives control our government. Those who openly claim to be Progressives are Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Van Jones, all the statist czars in this Administration, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid. Soros claims to be a one-worlder, which is the same thing. The Progressives which are nothing more than the old time communists, socialists, welfare statist, social justice people in new clothes are here to do the individual in. Individual Rights, that’s right, your individual life, is the ultimate political sin in their world. In the video, you can hear the collectivism. This is Generation We.

Stop being a zombie. Wake up. Challenge this wherever you find it.

Time to End the Lure of Forced Redistribution for Humane Purposes

The horrors of the Nazis have been seen, told, recorded. The horrors of the socialists/communists have not. Here begins humanity getting past that despicable evil. Let's hope this eventually uproots the idea that there is something benign, beautiful, humane about being a socialist or a current-day liberal.

Liberty's Vision

Liberty's vision affirms the only proper role of government: to protect the Individual Rights of all citizens at the expense of none; to protect its citizenry from force, fraud, and breach of contract, thereby allowing all citizens to dispose of the products of their thoughts and labor, their property, as they see fit.

Liberty's vision defines the only proper way to associate with our fellow men: by voluntary trade and the prohibition of force. Free trade and free markets are both practical and morally necessary for human dignity, prosperity, and enjoyment of life on earth.

Liberty's vision rejects the premise that one person's alleged need constitutes an enforceable claim on another's life, and that such a claim can or should be fulfilled through government force or coercion. We reject slavery in all forms, including coercive wealth redistribution.

Liberty's vision rejects the premise of politicians and bureaucrats who assume the right to subject us to their schemes and controls, to force us into servitude to them and to their cronies, to take our hard-earned wages, to disrupt our economy and burden us with unconscionable liabilities, and to sacrifice our beloved soldiers and our resources in wars where our national interest is dubious, and where winning is prohibited.

This is Liberty's Vision. Is it America's? Is it yours?

KEEPING FEAR ALIVE

The motivation behind the Left, the Democrats and all the political systems not based on liberty and individual rights is to KEEP FEAR ALIVE. This video demonstrates this. The people Van Jones appeals to are already politically free. Immigrants may or may not be, but they can be with some paper work.

The work to be done is not political. It is personal. It is stoking one's brain with knowledge so that one can see the choices available, screwing up the courage to act, then acting. That's how the real work is done.

Obama trots out the sob story, making sure that people are present to their fear. He, Michelle, Pelosi, Reid and thousands of others all like these stories - the more miserable the better. In the vacuum of non-creation - fear and hopelessness - they can step in and offer them any lie as hope. Now you see why a campaign of HOPE is attractive to some people, the hopeless people. The politician can offer no real solution as the real work is not political. The single root purpose of all of this activity is to KEEP FEAR ALIVE. Our politicians especially on the Left, thrive on their constituents' fear.

Geithner threatens us with the collapse of the financial system if he doesn't get to borrow more money. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson tell us that an American black person cannot make it unless he's given a break - affirmative action. On and on and on they KEEP FEAR LIVE.

The Right does its share of fear-mongering too and ends up making the Left's programs workable. Both are soul-eroding.

Until you and I realize this is no way to live and step in with the proper orientation, conversations and moral support, we are not able to act on the political freedom we already have. And soon enough, we will no longer be free. We will have forged our chains in the form of government laws and hardware to keep us under control.

Untitled from Breitbart on Vimeo.

When The Left and most politicians inspire us with livable ideals rather than the false ones requiring the government's gun to institute, there will be a new day for America. Until then, we live as slaves to our fear.

What are the two words one can say to himself when he finds himself granting this drivel a listening? Or gets scared? Or feels hopeless and powerless?

CREATE VALUE.

Another Way to Look at the Nation's Budget

This came to me in one of those email "send arounds" that we all get. I like it because it brings the huge figures and the problem down to manageable size.

2011 FEDERAL BUDGET

Federal budget: $3,820,000,000,000

Income: $2,170,000,000,000

New debt: $1,650,000,000,000

Amount cut: $ 38,500,000,000 (about 1% of the total budget)

Harry Reid is calling this an "historic amount." The President said it is an "historic deal." John Boehner simply said, "We have come to an agreement."

Let's put this in perspective. It helps to think about these numbers in terms that one can relate to.

Let's remove the nine zeroes from the ends of these numbers and pretend this is a monthly household budget for the fictitious Jones family.

Amount of money the Jones family spent this month: $3,820

Total income for the Jones family this month: $2,170

Amount of new debt added to the credit card this month: $1,650

Outstanding balance on the credit card: $14,271

(This represents our national debt.)

So last night, the Jones sat down at the kitchen table and agreed to cut $38 from their monthly budget, an historic amount.

What is wrong with this picture? Is it no wonder that one cannot live lower in respect than a politician? Most families don't spend 43% more than they make. Why do we let our government do it?

______________________________________

We know that changing the direction of how we handle our national finances is going to cause pain. No politician likes being blamed for causing pain unless he considers his constituents throwaways. There is no case I know when a dire situation is exorcised by short term pain that I am not immensely happy when it is over and on the right track. If a person outside myself is the cause, he is my hero.

But, it takes a man, a true leader, to do that. Who among us stands upright? Who among us commands the respect of all people and considers no one a throwaway?

It is going to take such a man because it is going to require a commitment to our friends and neighbors which we do not ordinarily practice. The government will not be able to take care of all the people - which most of us have known all along. The pain will be especially acute for those who think the government ought to take care of them.

Atlas Shrugged - The Movie

As one who read Atlas Shrugged 40 years ago and was inspired, when someone says they are going to make a movie, you are happy. Not until the movie is shown on the big screen do you realize that there is no place to hide any longer. Always before when I would talk about Rand's ideas, I could recommend one of her books. But even then, there are all kinds of misunderstandings that can occur. But when a movie is shown, the worldview of the movie is obvious. There is no more obscurity.

This whole evening since seeing the film this afternoon, I've been in a sacred space. Silent for hours now. I am present to the joy it was to sit in the value-space of Atlas Shrugged - to be among men who know that amazing, here-to-fore unthought feats are possible and they can be caused to happen. That space occurs for me as luminous - glowing with an underlying joy - the joy of knowing oneself as a creator.

The other thing that remains is my gratitude to have a film in existence that I can be proud of. It was really an accomplishment and I recommend anyone who has not seen the film go see it. If you love life, you shall have no regrets.

On the Value of Light

After seeing this video, I got that the Obama Administration is the descent of darkness over the United States. Obama is systematically squelching the light of millions of ideas being able to take root in a political environment of freedom/capitalism for the purpose of controlling people to his and his ideological "like-minders" narrow values. "Yes," they say, "It is for your own good." But rudimentary logic tells it isn't so.

We live in the Age of "Endarkenment."

Can You Hear This Yet?

Burn Quran AND Murder and Pillage

So, a preacher in Florida owned a Quran, decided he wanted to burn it, burned it and showed some pictures to prove he burned it. End of story.

In America you can burn a Bible, a flag or yes, a Quran if it is your property. People make what they will of that.

Some people in Afghanistan committed murder and destroyed property. Those are crimes and they ought to be dealt with appropriately. There is no cause and effect relationship between these two stories unless you are willing to say that the Afghans are not human and DO NOT possess free will.

When we hold men to possess free will and therefore responsible for their actions, we cause better men. When we don't, we cause worse men. Can it not be said that Lindsey Graham, Harry Reid, journalist Joe Klein, General Petraeus and NATO Ambassador Mark Sedwill are detriments to a society of men because they are causing worse men?

Rather than use their voices to point out what works and doesn't work and how we can all be better men by being responsible for our actions, they throw themselves on the pyre of failed leadership. Is it no wonder that we are having such a rough time in America right now? Has the entire world turned into the Jerry Springer show?

This gratuitous ass-kissing has a name: Preemptive capitulation. Here's an article on it. My thanks to Robert Bidinotto for his lead to this article.

This Weekend - In Honor of My Alma Mater - Butler

Matt Howard is one way that PURPOSE looks.

Howard, Butler Just Keep Winning

By Rick Reilly
ESPN.com

Brad Mills/US Presswire

Despite having to field questions about his baggy socks, there is no lack of focus for Butler forward Matt Howard.

Butler is not to be trusted in this Final Four. It pretends to be a guppy but has a piranha's appetite. Underdog? Please. Butler is the favorite now, and a lot of us know it. Whatever you do, don't pet it.

Its cover is blown after last year's Final Four. We all know how it works. Butler wants you to think it's something it's not. Take its heart, senior forward Matt Howard, who looks more like a geeky band-camp RA than a possible NBA first rounder. If Ichabod Crane played hoops, he'd look like this. He's 93 percent elbow and the rest Adam's apple. He's got so many juts, you could hang tinsel off him.

He's the Academic All-American of the Year in Division I. He's so nerdy, you look at him and think, "What's the worst he's going to do to us? Reprogram our iPhones to Chinese?"

Look at those socks. They lost their elastic years ago. And those sad shoes! If those shoes were your couch, it'd be in the alley now.

"He has six pairs of brand-new shoes in his locker," teammate Shelvin Mack says. "But he won't wear them! He just keeps wearing those ratty old ones."

And what's that on his head? Arugula?

"That's just the hair I woke up with," he says, trying to run his fingers through it and getting stopped by grease. "Whatever it looks like in the morning, that's what I go with for the day." He gets it cut once a year, for free, by a teammate, whether it needs it or not. He rides a rusted-out bike to Butler's 6 a.m. practices, even in the dead of winter, even through ice storms, even though the handlebars suddenly bent under him the other day catapulting him onto the ice.

"I fixed it," says Howard, who stands 6-foot-8 and 230, most of it bone. "Just poured some WD-40 in there and bent them back. It's a little risky to ride, I guess, but I can't see buying a new one."

Kid, you'd never fit in the SEC.

Not that it matters. Howard has more drive than some GM plants. He's driven Butler to back-to-back Final Fours, a feat never before accomplished by an Indiana school. Not Indiana. Not Purdue. Not Notre Dame.

The Bulldogs wouldn't be anywhere near Houston without Howard. He's the designated floor diver, the insatiable rebounder, the guy who sets the kind of picks that would stop an Amtrak train. He once set a pick on Duke's Kyle Singler that sent Singler bouncing backward 180 degrees and onto his nose.

When the Bulldogs needed a tip-in at the buzzer in their opening NCAA tournament game this year against Old Dominion, Howard gave it to them.

Howard has more drive than some GM plants. He's driven Butler to back-to-back Final Fours, a feat never before accomplished by an Indiana school. Not Indiana. Not Purdue. Not Notre Dame.

When the Bulldogs needed one free throw to win their third-round game against No. 1 seed Pittsburgh, Howard gave it to them.

When the Bulldogs needed a monster in the Sweet 16 against Wisconsin, Howard gave them 20 and 12.

And when the Bulldogs needed somebody in the Elite 8 to launch himself headlong into a pile to tie up the ball and win the game against Florida, Howard and his boneyard body gave it to them.

"Matt Howard will be an NBA player," says Butler's bespectacled coach, Brad Stevens. "His team would be winning wherever he went. That's who he is. He makes teams better. He's a winner. Whenever I have to answer questions about what's his real height, how long is he, [I just say], 'He wins. He just wins.'"

Well, not always. Butler looked as confused as Howard's hair for a while this season. It lost three straight games in the anemic Horizon League. Houston looked farther than the moon then. The third loss was 62-60 to Youngstown State on Feb. 3.

"That's why I'd say this trip [to another Final Four] just feels a little better than the last time," Howard says. "Because when you think about where we came from, how far down we were, standing in that Youngstown gym, man, I can't tell you how bad I felt."

Howard is used to getting beat up. He's one of 10 kids of a Connersville, Ind., mail carrier. He's got four older brothers with the same kind of pickax elbows. He knows how it works: You bleed, you find a towel, you play some more. He rededicated himself and the Bulldogs got through it. Since those three losses, they've won 13 straight. Now they're 80 minutes from a national championship.

Through it all, Howard kept on being what Mack calls "the weirdest person I've ever met in my entire life."

"Like, remember that UConn-Syracuse game [in 2009] that went six overtimes?" teammate Ron Nored asks. "Well, after the third one, he texts me: 'Do you think Buffalo Wild Wings had anything to do with this?'"

You ask Howard what's up and he'll say, "The ceiling." Tell him your name and he'll reverse the letters the rest of your life. Shelvin Mack is permanently Melvin Shack. Together, they'd like to go to Dan Siego someday. Perhaps they'll see girls wearing "skini mirts."

Who cares? On the court, he gets it right. He's the thing you love most in a college basketball player -- a guy who just wants to win and doesn't care who gets the credit. A guy who hits class by day and glass by night. A scabbed-knee grinder who finishes every game with his tank on E.

That's Hatt Moward in a shut nell.

We Can Hide the Stench No Longer

Our President has reached the nadir of human decency. He has gotten the US into a war, call it that or not. A war requires money and soldiers. He takes our money, not his, and our sons and daughters for his petty purpose. At no time has he even attempted to justify his war nor has even had the decency to speak to the American people about it. Hell, he took off for Brazil and didn't say a word. Being our national leader, for Obama, is such a bother.

He then throws salt into this wound by turning our treasure and our soldiers' lives over to NATO and the UN. To this point he has indicated no responsibility for how that goes. "Yes! Another American value under the bus. Right on track. 'We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.'" He brushes his hands together to rid himself of any crumbs of his responsibility for anything that happens now. We sit here as chopped liver, totally disregarded and expected to pay for this in every way.

I have a soldier-ready young man living in my household. I'm keenly aware that with Commander-in-Chief Obama, his life is in danger. "You may want to hold off joining the Army," I said. "This man will have your butt in a body bag because you never got inspired to live for anything of real value while in the Army. This is how dangerous he is."

This kind of outrageous injustice does not go unnoticed.

But, the thing I'm noticing right now is the stench. "World, we have a full-of-shit President, all 73", laced with the fetor of egregious immorality (in the name of morality yet), and the stench is beyond our ability to endure. In the modified words of James Carville, 'We are throwing up out here.' Look for changes."

ALTRUISTIC WARS ARE THE MEANS OF DESTROYING OURSELVES. They are wounds that drain our blood. Ultimately they demoralize us such that we can no longer fight for ourselves.

I read this morning (3-26) that Al Qaeda is part of the rebel, anti-Gadhafi force. So now we have Obama and Hillary using our blood and treasure to support Al Qaeda interests? When are we going to wake up and put these people in jail where they belong. The destruction and havoc they have wreaked on this country is outrageous and enormous. And if you believe they are up to "doing good," you are naive - perhaps beyond redemption.

America's Second Revolution - Individual Rights

Yaron Brook, President of the Ayn Rand Institute delivers a speech to the Tea Party Convention.

The Incredible Dumbness of Madison

Don't you find it incredible that the Wisconsin statehouse is packed with demonstrators all screaming their hatred for Governor Walker and the Republicans from the depth of their being, indignant that anyone could consider questioning their right to collectively bargain for their wage contracts?

And atop all of that protesting, their repre- sentatives in the government act like frightened, cowardly and thereby powerless children. In the Senate, they take off to hide in Illinois. In the lower house they scream at the top of their lungs when they don't win the vote. At no time did they have the idea that they could eloquently speak their case such that they make an impact. Since when does an elected leader get to act like a two-year old and have any respect as a leader? If you are not disgusted with this, you must be dead.

What is the problem here? Imagine for a moment each of those screamers took their screaming back home, then went to their neighbor's house and screamed at him. Their enemy, the one they are screaming at, are not those evil rich owners and their hired managers of a corporation. (I don't agree with characterizing owners and management as evil enemies in the zero sum game of a Marxist mentality, but that's another subject.) They are accessing all that class-warfare energy, but guess what? Their enemy is the taxpayer, themselves and their neighbors.

When unions fight management of a corporation, the company pays for the increased wages and benefits. But the taxpayers are the ones who pay for these increased wages and benefits. So all of these demonstrators are screaming at themselves and their neighbors. This is why we are witnessing incredible dumbness.

When people get this disconnected from reality, you know the lesson is going to be very costly for someone. At least that is my experience when I get really dumb.

I'm standing that those standing for people's enslavement lose this fight - big time. Public Sector Unions have got to go. No exceptions. No teachers union. No SEIU. No Postal Workers union. Nada.
