A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

Keep it up.  What looks and feels more thoughtful? What feels like freedom?  Like America?   A bunch of recycled rap or rock music?  Or is the metaphoric sound of this music that is inpired by Alaska’s great wide open?  Where the only limits are your imagination instead of some socialist bureaucrat.

Democrats seek to control, regulate and suppress creative energies.  Unless under their thumb they are not happy.

Republicans seek to inspire and uplift as a default. 

That is the difference between the theme music the democrats use and the piece used in this video.   Use rap music if you want to use the corporal urges to lure and distract.  Use the music in this piece if you want to inspire.

M.C. Cain must have really gotten someone new on board. He’s making the right moves. Sarah Palin is a female Reagan. My father said years ago when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister that he would not mind a woman president if we got one like Margaret. I think we have our Thatcher.

I doubt B.O. fishes, hunts or rides a snow mobile.  He eats arrugula and puts the scams to whitey to grab the cheddah.  Don’t bother calling me a raysist….its documented here that he believes teaching racial agitation is a more important skill than math or science.   Worst … there is nothing more girly than socialism.

Full disclosure:  At first I thought it was a pure political feelgood move.  Then I heard her speak.  I kind of wish she was the candidate instead of McCain!   Either way I have a suspicion she will be president at some point.

Likely you have heard this old adage about security and liberty.  The security they talk about is economic.  Things are likely to get tougher in the near future.   We are shipping too much money out of the country for oil.   We are too dainty to allow it to be drilled on our coasts and in ANWR.   Thus things will deteriorate more until the pain threshold is found. 

Many people will want to vote for the politician that says it will be ok if we only regulate this or tax that.  These are the unDemocrats who will say anything to get elected.  Say anything to get the power.  I would like to think you as an electorate will have the sense not to listen.  But I’m doubtful about this.  You listened in the past and you likely will in the future.   The problem is this sort of thing never helps economically and in fact damages something much more precious than your temporary economic circumstances and that would be your liberty.  I know this is true.  My favorite home away from home country is Brazil.   As currently constituted Brazil has a fully implemented form of government that the unDemocrats want to have here.  The people know their government and changing it is hopeless.  Nothing will ever change in that area and the Brazilians know it.   With liberty you can improve your economic circumstances.   With economic wellbeing you can not necessarily do diddly squat about your liberty.  I know its tough to be a good soldier.  You have to be brave.  And clearly about 50% of the population lacks any impulse toward liberty. Quite the opposite.  They lick their chops at the thought of another round of incremental carving up of liberty for the sake of financial gain. 

Remember losing a job is temporary.  Living in a land of curtailed liberty is pretty much for your entire lifetime.    So don’t be dour Gus Halls who secretly long for a beer, a recliner and a black and white television.   For an inspired life you have to dream of liberty.
