Why I Will Never Get the Shaman Gig

I am terribly uncoordinated, especially when it counts.

It's the CIRRRR-cle of Liiiii---AAAAH!"

I Was Sort Of Joking Before...

But not really.  And with good reason.

My earlier post on how they weren't going to be satisfied with just taking your Big Gulp was clearly tongue-in-cheek, what with The Onion video and all.  But, even so, there was an element of OH! FFS! in it.  You just KNEW the idiot savants in government weren't really going to leave us alone once they granted themselves permission to tell us what to freaking EAT!

Big Brother is going to be just as big a pain in the neck as your REAL big brother was.  Remember why you left home? 

Now you're going to have to leave the country.

That Is One Dead Dog

Smarter Than Joe Biden

The short answer is: everything.

 The FUNNY answers are at Twitchy. 

 And remember, kittens...one heartbeat away...just one heartbeat away.

I'm a Right-Wing Nut, Which Means I Can NOT Be A Fascist

Let's get this straight.  As a right-winger I can be racist and hateful. In fact, it appears I HAVE to be. Oh...and I'm down for gun-toting, bitter-clinging, Bible-thumping, cousin-jumping, and beer drinking, too. All this fun because I don't like can't stand Obama, his czars, and their collectivist, dictatorial, fascist, top-down rule.  Especially when the "top" is filled with idiots.  

The unavoidable contradiction in leftist ideology is that their egalitarian, everybody-is-equal, social justice, every-vote-must-count, power-to-the-people rhetoric must necessarily be implemented by an insulated elite who is waaaaay more equal than those who support them. The reality of true democracy is that it simply doesn't exist. It can't. It has no structure to function if everyone remains in the decision-making process and every freaking voice is taken into consideration on every freaking thing. Can't work. That, kittens, is chaos. So it inevitably morphs into the masses handing over everything to a select few who get to "speak for you." Rule by committee.  Think of the same nice kids who were on the Senior Prom committee and decided everything.  Remember how great that turned out? Thank GOD the years of "Stairway to Heaven" were slightly before my time.  Did ANYONE ever listen to the words of that song? Stupid on steroids...but I digress. 

ALL leftist ideas are eventually expressed through some variant of rule by committee, because they are all based on the ideal of absolute democracy. So you can just quit worrying your pretty little heads about this, okay? Socialism, communism, Nazism and fascism are ALL ON THE LEFT. They are all collectivist political structures. They are all essentially rule by committee. They are all throwbacks to the first political structure known to man - the tribe. It was only with the truly progressive idea that each man belonged to himself and NOT to the tribe that we developed any other political idea on which to base a government. And they gave it a name. Republicanism.

For the first time in human history, it was decided that the individual had natural rights that could never be removed by a majority vote...or by the rule of that special and wise Senior Prom committee. This was truly radical and progressive.

Republicanism believes in the RESTRAINT of power; all other forms of government believe in the EXERCISE of power.

Limited government, rule of law, enumerated rights of the individual, a system where the majority could not vote away an individual's right to life, liberty, or property - no matter how necessary it might seem to everyone else - is an idea created by the right. 




Socialism, communism, Nazism, fascism. All are political systems where the power of the government has no restraints and dictates the actions of the market and, therefore, the individual. They are all ideas of the left. The difference between these variants of collectivism is who appears to actually own the means of production. This is splitting hairs. It matters not who owns them if the government makes every single decision as to what the "owners" can do, what they can produce, and what they can keep.

So what especially peeves me is that apparently bright people, well...okay...EDUCATED people actually believe that while socialism and communism are on the left, Nazism and fascism are  phenomenons of the right. This is a degree of stupid that can make the blood vessels in my eyes pop from the pressure.

With that in mind, Thomas Sowell, in his inimitable style, goes into details about some of the finer distinctions between socialism and fascism.

Stupid Really IS a Five Letter Word - Obama

And you thought I was kidding.

Romney is pounding this idiot with his own words.  LOVING IT!

Please, sir, I want some more...

 

Our Food Stamp President

The Obama administration said it “strongly supports” the federal food stamp program in a Wednesday press release supporting a Democratic-sponsored farm bill that would extend funding for the program until 2017.

“The administration also strongly supports the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a cornerstone of our nation’s food assistance safety net, which is why it was not subject to cuts in the president’s budget,” the press release read.

I would be happier if they "strongly supported" a robust private sector.  But that's just me.


Under our great and glorious Leader, The One, He Who Would Heal Our Souls and Cause the Oceans to Recede, spending on food stamps has gone up over 100%. 

But heh! "The private sector is doing fine."

Bad Ideas Never Go Away

At least not in government they don't. In government, they just keep coming back like Michael in Halloween.

The Law of the Sea Treaty is a hideous piece of socialist garbage that has been hanging around for decades and we've never had a Senate stupid or corrupt enough to give it any real consideration. Until now.




Remember, when he talks about sovereignty, it is not just some abstract and archaic notion - he is talking about YOU! The question is, under this treaty, will you remain your own person, protected by the laws and the ideals of freedom on which this country was founded and for which many have fought and died? Or will your rights be signed away by a Senate that is more interested in consolidating power into the hands of a very few and totally unaccountable elite? America exists to protect you, the individual. To my mind, anyone who signs this treaty should be tried as a traitor. Clearly, they are not abiding by their oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

Mugging Maugham

The news lately has been filled with democracy-killing union-busting, horrifyingly out of control state budgets, and the deplorable quality of service the taxpayer receives for his hard-earned dollars. This is depressing and I think it's important to look on the bright side, if only once in awhile.

High school English teachers from across the country have submitted the best of the best from their creative writing students, highlighting the outstanding teaching they've done with their young charges. It's inspiring.

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with a wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

You Thought They Would Leave You Alone After The Big Gulp

Seriously? You thought it was just about the soda? It's never JUST about the soda...

The Nanny State wants a Fanny State, and Slow Joe is riding this crusade all the way to the hot tub. The man's a genius. In his immortal words, "This is a big f*&king deal."

"Toned, tanned, taut, and tasty."

 

Of course, this is me. Yes, I'm an enemy of the state.

Working On My Tan

They don't have "equestrian" but it's every bit as attractive, I assure you.

Doing Fine

Or maybe not so much.

Notice, if you will, the dismissive, almost contemptuous tone of his voice when he says, "The private sector is doing fine."  He clearly has only scorn for the private sector - and therefore for those in it. I would go so far as to say he believes the private sector to be his enemy because it is one of the main reasons why there is pushback to The Big O's big government vision.  The private sector does not give Obama greater power and control - only bigger government does that.

And with Obama, it's all about the "O".
