A MarketPlace of Ideas

The press and dissidents do not defend freedom.  They exercise their freedom.  The real work is done where the rubber hits the road.  Where the real responsibility and credit for success and failure lie with the collective will of the people.  Some of those people happen to be journalists and dissidents.  The simple fact is that a dead voter is out of the ecosystem.   You can hew to your principles but if not enough people act on the same principles then their effect is negligible.  Therefore all the good things AND the stupidity you see.   So when the press claims to be protecting anything beware.  If its anything other than their information business do not believe it.  Give them the loud Bronx cheer for being so gay as to even say it.  You should get the same feeling about this that you do if you receive spam for elder-porn.  Deep skepticism of the idea formulation, concept and probable success of the idea.

Now go read this story by time magazine. (only enough to apply the above rule )
Arty about the Russians Hit on Dissident    

Like a preening older woman who can’t accept her lost beauty the antique media still flogs this sort of thing.  It suits their drama queen view of the world.  The only difference is this hag was never beautiful. You know the press  see themselves as dissidents.  Put them in an imaginary gulag where the people are not incarcerated but merely ignored.

Oh….by the way that leaves you-know-who minding the store. Make sure you are diligent.   Expect it to be hard work or see your liberty completely ransacked.

Observations:

• 1) Many blacks at the time of the OJ Simpson trial believed that OJ really could be not guilty. Their case was that the LAPD had it out for blacks.  I had a discussion at the time with a friend that actually did not believe he did it. ( black)
• 2) Whites may have had a doubt or two up until the time that OJ went awol in the white Bronco.  At that time all doubts were erased. 

At the time I told my black friend that denying the obvious in this case did not help the public image of blacks.   What it did was reinforce a vaguely held notion that blacks are looking for a unfair special pass here and there to help them get by. The aborted OJ book would have really helped victimhood clear this up.   It would have been some justice of sorts to have these last doubters minds turned to reality.   Because it was FOX affiliated companies doing the project the other media outlets found it easy to be critical. The trial and all the other endless hype served no purpose.  Letting blacks see in yet another way that "The Man" is not "keeping them down" would have.  Had the project gone forward maybe the next time a majority black jury sat in on a murder case they would have been less inclined to give their man a pass.  

As always very few things go right while most go wrong. If you think the man is keeping you down, wait till the murderers are in charge. Then you will have a valid case to compare against.

Addendum:

A poll on the 10th anniversary of the killings indicated that 87 per cent of whites were convinced the black super-star was guilty of the double murder, while only 29 per cent of blacks thought so.   90% of blacks vote unDemocrat. This tells you something and its not very flattering for blacks.

Liberals seem to be in a perpetual combined state of hippie-ism and Stockholm syndrome.  How else can you explain a democrats approach?  You have people who normally are raggedly anti-religion who are constantly trying to appease islam in eastern establishment universities and society at large.  

Note to Libs:  These people will have your secular butts roasting on a spit lickety split if they were in power. 

Your approaches are old, aged, dusty and used up.  The plain fact is you are either a union thug, stupid or dishonest if you are liberal.  The dishonesty can either be intellectual or just plain criminal. 

Here’s how it is.  All you conforming bunch of sheep all run out and get tattoos to be edgy.  What you end up is normal normal normal.  DUH….Your impulse came from seeing other people with these wastes of time and money.  In other words it was your lemming like impulse for conformity!  Let’s all rebel by conforming to style.

So in the end most of you poor suckers are falling for the party line whatever it may be where and when you are.  That is so pre internet.   Being a party hack,union thug or conformist minion is pitiful. It only shows you are too weak minded to make it any other way. 

Wait till you see how the voters react to a couple of years of congress being controlled by this crew.  You’ll see how out of style this is.  The republicans spent like drunken sailors but at least they have a semi-viable party.  The dems just aren’t a viable option and I can see a darwinian fate awaiting them.

The whole place would be alot better off if they offered a viable alternative. Currently they do not.

Summary: The USA is said to be a “free” society.  Ok. Then when will our society be non-coercive ?

Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

I am not jewish. How can I be ? I was born into a christian family.  Er well I am atheist so I think Judaism is just as superstitious as any other religion.  However having had a close friend that was jewish and being an erswhile scientist ( aka engineer) I have collected an appreciation of jewish culture.  One of my 3 favorite jews died recently.  Milton Friedman, we conservatives will miss you. 

Back in the 70’s when precious little consolation was to be had for us conservatives Milton Friedman was there giving us hope.  Hope that socialists ( read democrat ) would not eventually be able to squeeze every bit of liberty out of our daily lives.  This was before Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge or the internet.  This was when the democrats had been in power so very long that they were able to lopp off a sitting president in spite of the fact he only did the same things His immediate predecessors did.  This was when Reagan got so close in ‘76 that you could smell victory only to have the Republicans nominate the slow witted Gerald Ford. 

Milton was a gift.  What a gift to humanity. 

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love

I’d be friends with Stalin if he had a ping pong table

ZOROASTRIANISM begat Judaism begat Christianity and then sometime after that one or the other begat Islam.  Much later arose Mormanism.  Before Judaism there was something else if you actually take the time to delve into the matter.

Its very similar to single celled organisms developing into fish that eventually evolved into something else. 

I grew up in the substrate of a Judeo Christian society. I do not feel resentment against believers.  God only knows I probably would have been decapitated if I had been born in a Moslem country if I dared expressed my rampant athiesm.

The funny thing is its you liberals that tend to sound athiestic in your policies but then invoke Judeo Christian values when you high handedly impose your socialist fecal matter.

Homo Erectus ?  Don’t ask me.  I have a no ask, no tell, no see and especially no schmell policy on this issue.

 Does the title make you suspicious?  Sisayehiticha Dinssa was hit on by the narc dogs at the Detroit Airport with the aforesaid combination.  He was on his way to Phoenix Arizona USA from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and Detroit.   I think George Bush got it right.  Let’s fight these guys. 

 However I want to add one feature to this. Lets do it no holds barred.  You sissy liberals want to bitch slap them.

Summary: Oil is essential to the operation of our economy. Without it we will starve.   It is that simple.  Therefore when the libs say “No War for Oil” and others deny that the Iraq war was not for oil……I respond with ” IT BETTER DAMN WELL HAVE BEEN FOR THE OIL”   

     The only difference I would have with the “War for Oil” would be as follows:   We did not want to steal the oil.  We want to be able to buy the oil but not from Saddamn.   There were sanctions in place to attempt to prevent Saddamn from selling the oil but there was no way to practically prevent this.  Sitting in your living room its easy to wave your hands and say we had sanctions in place.  Its another thing to actually prevent the sales of oil in what is an extremely large world with an extremely important commodity.   Remember its nickname is Black Gold.  When it comes to money and sex there is no stopping the schtuping.    Therefore one of the reasons we went to war is because the market needed more sources of oil. The Iraqis still get to sell it.  The world just doesn’t have the option of buying it from Saddamn.

All the news reports are shading events in such a way that leads you to believe we are going to do a cut and run in Iraq. 

ADVISE TO Mr BUSH:  All the damage Iraq is going to do to you ( if it did any in reality ) is DONE.  Holding out and keeping our guys there longer will not do anything more to you or the cause of the United States.  At the very least you need to let the Dems use coercive tactics to make you pull the Troops.  Then when it all goes south with all the ramifications the nation will clearly see what a feckless bunch the Dems and the people who elected them are.

Now I thought George Bush 2 was a bit stronger in his core than to be stampeded but with the words emanating lately from the WhiteHouse I am starting to wonder.  Its about time we have a leader that acts like this is more than just a high school popularity contest.  Its been since Reagan that we had someone who spoke from his core……Unless its you GWB. Make the country proud and do what you know has to be done these last two years. 

 The seeds of the Dems undoing are already sown.  See : Democrats on the Ground want to have a McGovern Party but the Leadership is Scared

 Just because the voters acted feckless does not mean they won’t hold the Dems responsible for being feckless when this all plays out.  Its clear as common sense.  Go with it.

This guy actually thinks Iran can be a partner for peace ?  Whatever he is smoking its worse than crack,  worse than meth…..  By process of elimination I have deduced it can only be a bias ply goodyear offroad tire.  The radials don’t get you THAT high. 

Hey libs…..back me up on this ok?  You realize that a nuclear bomb going off will significantly warm the local climate where its detonated.
