Just to be very clear

I do care somewhat however about what the 2012 election says about the future of the United States, and of the world. And in my humble opinion, what is says is nothing good for either my country or the world.

2012 U.S. Election Analysis In Brief

Same as it ever was.

To my dear, beloved Democrat-voting fellow citizens:

You broke it. You fix it. Everything that’s wrong with this country is either your fault, or you’ve made it worse because of your well-intentioned but naive policies (and I’m offering you the most charitable interpretation possible here). Good luck in the next four years, because you’re gonna need it.

You can’t blame Bush any more. This mess belongs 100% to Obama now–and to the Democratic Party. And since none of you high-minded Democrats know why it’s going wrong in the first place, you won’t be able to fix it. And since your idea of constructive engagement with Republicans and free-enterprisers is to loudly shout “SHUT UP!!!” whenever we have the temerity to say “uh, excuse me, have you really thought through what you’re gonna do?” you have made yourself totally immune to anything but your comfortable, disastrous groupthink.

My prediction for the next four years: It ain’t gonna get a lot better.

It is a comfort to me that I am not always right. Perhaps you know-it-all Democrats could try some humility some time. But I fear that humility is an emotion you have no further use for, in your march to the grand collective “progressive” future.

Done with politics. For a while anyway. It’s all on you now, Democrats. For the love of Gaia, don’t screw up too badly.

Obama and the Constitution

Obama: “Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.”

The Constitution of the United States, Amendment I: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

And this guy is supposed to be a “Constitutional scholar?”

The United States, as a nation, respects no faith whatsoever. That is what “religious tolerance” means: you tolerate religions other than your own. You don’t have to “respect” them.

September 11 in recent history

2001: Islamist extremists slaughter nearly 3,000 Americans.

2012: Islamist extremists attack the American embassy in Egypt[*1] and the American consulate in Libya[*2] .

Ah, the “Arab Spring.” It’s a good thing–right?

MNow, I’m a guy . . .

. . . and so, have no right to an opinion on the matter (right, Democrats?) but it seems to me that this ad here is absolutely devestating to the “war-on-women” “narrative” being pushed by . . . well . . . you know.

“Government is the only thing we all belong to.”

This is why the Democratic Party of the United States needs to be destroyed, and the ground it stands on sown with salt.

The only person I can be said to belong to is my wife.

The government belongs to me–and to all of us. This is very, very different from saying that we “belong” to the government.

The concept that the government was subordinate to the people was a revolutionary concept–in fact, back in the day, they called the intellectual revolution surrounding that thought “The Enlightenment.” This was in opposition to the older view, the view reflected in the concept of the “divine right of kings” and the like.

That older, less Enlightened age is the one that the Democratic Party of the United States wants to take us back to. For our own good, of course.

UPDATE: Just like “you didn’t build that” and “what Republicans are saying is harmful to Israel” this has now become yet another of those (many) things that the Democrats never said, despite what your lying ears may tell you by actually listening to their plain words.

In this context, the difficulty the Democrats have in reading the Constitution becomes more understandable.

Is MSNBC Racist?

So, why did MSNBC refuse to show a single speech at Tuesday night’s Republican National Convention that was given by a person who was a “minority?”[*1]

Could it possibly be that “the narrative” is more important to MSNBC than the truth is?

And if true, then what conclusion should a reasonable person reach about that network’s commitment to equal rights, let alone simple honesty?

Who are the racists in America today, really? The ones who are trying to build the country, create jobs for their neighbors, and generally just get on with their lives, or the ones who continually hear “dog whistles” that nobody with sense can hear?

Poverty is returning to Europe

Unilever sees ‘return to poverty’ in Europe[*1] from the UK’s Telegraph newspaper:

“Poverty is returning to Europe,” Jan Zijderveld, the head of Unilever’s European business told the Financial Times Deutschland in an interview.

“If a consumer in Spain only spends €17 when they go shopping, then I’m not going to be able to sell them washing powder for half of their budget.”

The inevitable result of the welfare-state form of democracy as practiced in Europe, and as advocated by the Democratic Party of the United States, is poverty for the masses and outrageous wealth (harvested from those masses) for the elites.

Inevitable.

(And yeah, plenty of Republicans of the Establishment variety want to hop on the elite-harvester gravy train, too. This is precisely what the Tea Party types want to stop and reverse.)

Remember that the next time a reporter from the Media-Democrat Complex sneers at the Tea Party.
