South Carolina Governor Sanford

The calls for South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford to resign from the national media are a sure sign of their hipocracy.
With the problems of ethics presented by Nancy Pelosi's Tuna business, and Barney Frank's involvement with his boyfriends being in charge of Fannie Mae and a male prostitution ring, and Jack Murtha's defense contractor scandal, you'd think they'd back off of a simple little affair. After all, they excused Bill Clinton's blatant lying to prosecutors didn't they?
Note to Katie Couric et. al. don't throw rocks in glass houses. It might break something you care for.

Health care RIGHTS?

I want to know how something that, for all intents and purposes, didn't exist as a real science about 100 years ago became a RIGHT!
From a guy riding around the countryside with a bottle of morphine and a set of knives has expanded a RIGHT?
Secondly, I want to know how somebody thinks that calling another persons work product a right of yours is anything more than enforced state slavery?

The Bush Dividend

The "unrest" in Iran this week, following the stolen election, is a telltale sign that the Bush Doctrine is working. Even after the man has been out of office for six months there are people emboldened by the idea that they too can have a real democracy. Maybe GW should have called it the "yes we can" foreign policy.

Having two burgeoning democracies on either side of them has depleted the "elite Republican Guards". So heavily depleted from them being sent to fight our troops, that the people of Iran sense an opening. The ranks of the fanatic followers of the Mullahs have been thinned by their foreign adventurism. The Mullahs now have very few left to guard THEMSELVES!

I think GW is sitting back and having a good chuckle at this development.
Democracy Sandwich anybody?

The Flint Demolition Plan

The Flint plan is typical liberal thinking. I didn't hear the talk show hosts catch it either. Why aren't they tearing down the projects instead? Move the people from the projects into these houses and stop paying housing subsidies for them.I'm sure that Habitat for Humanity will be glad to help renovate those things! Geez! Do I have to think of everything!
It will take a long term burden off the taxpayer by eliminating the housing subsidies that we are paying now.
Is anyone thinking out there?

edit: 7/20/2009:

Here's a link to a discussion of the idea in a Flint online newser that hashes out the idea:

http://www.mlive.com/opinion/flint/index.ssf/2009/06/flint_demolition_plan_is_typic.html

note that there are considerable attacks on the idea.

The original sin of Barak Obama.

I will not mince my words here. This needs to evoke the emotions that it will.

Elected with a 98% plurality of the black vote, Barak Obama's Presidency is born in the original sin of racism.
The first act of power of blacks in america was race based. It is as much of a stain on black power as the sin of omission in the Constitution of the United States in leaving the question of Slavery up to future generations.
Then you add in this Supreme Court pick (Sottomayor) and her proclivity to see herself as a "wise latina more capable than a white male" and you have the powder set up in a shiny keg all nice and dry.
This will be used as a recruiting tool for hate groups across america.
"The niggers did it, so now it's ok to vote based on race." will be what is said.
If the black voting block doesn't break up in the next election, and there is enough suffering still going on in our economy, this may well be the end of the republic. It will certainly be grist for those who would begin a race war in earnest.

Democrat "Leadership"

I don't think the majority of the Demothug base really believes any of the hyper leftie crud their politicians put out to get votes. I think they just put up with it to win elections and get their "rightful power" back. You really must remember that the base of the democrat party is made up of the old boy racist KKK network that will use anybody in any way they can to maintain some form of power. Just look at the people they put in office. Former Grand Kleagle of the KKK Robert Byrd is only the best example.They have these strained looking powermad freaks running their party like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean and Algore who look like they will explode any moment from being so backed up in constipated fury!It's like watching an exlax commercial every time they get on tv.

Miss California

Miss Prejean should sue Mr Hilton for religious discrimination under the EEOC act. She was interviewing for a job as a spokesperson. It is an unusual interview, but still an interview. Mr Hilton made it plain in interviews that he counted her answer against her in consideration for that JOB. Mr Hilton is not protected from prosecution because of his status as a gay man.

End Time Boogie

Who would you rather believe about the end of the world. A fire and brimstone preacher like Hal Lindsey ? or Algore ?
What are the differences? I personally can't see any. Except maybe Lindsey is a bit calmer and matter of fact about it.
Gore on the other hand screams at people like an old time Church of God preacher.

I'll let you decide.

What do we do now?

I am under no delusions that we live in a purely capitalist country, and haven't since the Federal Reserve was established by thieves and those who would destroy the concept of constitutional law.

The problem with our country today can be traced directly to government intervention.

The housing problem for instance can be traced to layer after layer of government interference with the natural ebb and flow of the market. First it was the New Deal Subsidies under the Roosevelt administration. then it became veterans loans, then it was the FHA, then the HUD and then it was a layer of tax incentives for taking credit against your income tax for mortgage interest payments, then it became ARM's and the Community Reinvestment Act.
It's like picking at a scab. It never works to fix the problem. It just delays it, and adds another layer of government subsidy and beaurocracy, and taxes for said personell and subsidies.

Then there's Social Security. The idiocy they are trying right now of "stimulus payments" would be completely moot, if you just gave everybody back all the money they paid into the Social Security system, that has been sucking money out of the economy for decades. You add ten percent per annum compounded annually over the life of their payments. Anyone over 55 would be allowed to stay on the program ,(or not if they want) and it would be taken from the general fund if a deficit in the fund arose. Everyone under 55 would be out of the system, and allowed to set up a tax free retirement account with the money. Talk about establishing a new level of savings in this country. Where do you think all our money went in the first place? This would recapitalize the banks, and everything would return to normalcy.

GET RID OF HOUSING SUBSIDIES. Nobody would need them anymore anyway.Then you put a $15.00 a barrel tax on all IMPORTED oil, and use the money to start a Rural Solarization Project. This would eliminate the line losses from long distance transmission lines. It would have a secondary effect of eliminating the need for importation of more oil. Not to mention making localities more independent in case of national emergency. Part of the program would establish a mortgage refinancing program for people who agreed to rooftop solar voltaics, and electric cars added to their mortgage, further reducing the need for imported oil. This would have a net effect of eliminating the number one problem with our trade deficit: OIL. It would make our own marginal oil fields proffitable to operate because of the importation tax.

Now as for the problem with classical socialist theory. It never takes human nature into account. People are greedy by nature. It can't be bred out. If you tried it you would wind up with a bunch of impotent nothings that wouldn't breed. Greed is a function of human sexuality. Thag gets Ooma a pretty bead necklace with the furs he skinned from the foxes he hunted down. I can't explain it any better than that. If you don't get it then you don't have a single ounce of alpha male in you.

There can NEVER be real socialism. Beacuse of human nature. It always breaks down into a corrupt form, run by the most distasteful elements of society, using well meaning people to bring themselves to power. It will always be thus. This is the great genius of capitalism. It harnesses greed for the greater good, instead of leaving it to find a niche for the assertion of personal power in a certain to be established heirarchy of the elite.
Socialism destroys humanism. Do you believe in evolution? Humans are involved in a new form of evolution. It still involves the survival of the fittest. Socialism retards evolution. It essentialy steals drive from the human condition and replaces it with dependency.

Mindless bureaucrats

Some idiot at TVA has put up for auction three drums of highly toxic and explosive Hydrazine!
This is the substance responsible for launchpad deaths of Shuttle technicians refueling the Space Shuttle.

I wonder how long it will stay up after my rants about it?
