Having worked in, on, and around newspapers for over two decades, I can say with some authority that the vast majority of reporters, editors, and publishers are about as sharp as a pound of wet leather. The general consensus amongst their fraternity is, quite simply, that readers are too addle-brained to know what is good for them. The conventional wisdom within the hallowed swamps of journalism is that your garden variety reader doesn’t know what is important, that they are a wrong-thinking lot who put on their shoes and socks in that order.
Journalists, as a rule, feel that the unwashed masses should be force-fed “the truth,” that they require some sort of Kubrickian, Clockwork Orange procedure in order to get their minds right.
How much of Obama’s “fundamentally transforming America” will free Americans take before they …….?
How much of our unalienable, individual rights will we lose before Americans have no other choice but to ……?
How many outright radicals in Obama’s administration will Americans tolerate before they call him out and demand impeachment proceedings from the Senate?
At what point will Americans say enough is enough of all the social justice and radical environmentalism initiatives coming out of the hopelessly corrupt United Nations, that past Presidents, Obama and the U. S. Congress are turning into American law and eroding our sovereignty, in direct violation of the U. S. Constitution?
It has been over 18 years since the Arkansas Mafia hit the road to DC, and onto the world stage. We take a trip back in time to se what life was like for the once and shining stars of the former Republic.
Never Satirize liberals, never Question the approved aggrieved
Over the past few weeks it emerged that Rush Limbaugh was to be part of a group of investors in the St. Louis Rams. The firestorm was as intense as it was predictable.
Weighing in were the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. It always amusing to see those two in action. They’re to politics what Nehru Jackets are to fashion. Bell bottoms and platform shoes may come back. Neither Jackson nor Sharpton can get over that their days have passed.
Al Sharpton called Limbaugh divisive. This is a man who gave us that Tawana Brawley hoax and never apologized for it. He’s put himself at the center of just about every possible event that could even be remotely considered racial.
No other can take your property, your labor, your thoughts, or your life from you without your permission, for that is theft, or murder and it is a crime on your person and on humanity as well, that is deserved of severe punishment. For you are an individual, endowed with certain unalienable rights, a gift from your creator. Not because someone wrote it down in a book, or a Declaration, or a Constitution, or shouted it from the roof tops. It is true because it is the law of nature. It is an absolute law with no contravening or superior law to supersede it. It is the law of all laws and cannot be repealed by man or God.
Only you own your life, your property, your thoughts and your labor and all is sovereign to that which is you. You are not a pawn that can be battered about at someone else’s will, or a whim, or for entertainment, or for the pure exercise of absolute power.
I’m all for doctors. To me, there is no more valuable service on this earth than the professional care administered by a qualified practitioner of the medicinal arts. I don’t particularly enjoy going to the doctor (they always lecture me about smoking) however I can’t think of too many things more comforting than the knowledge that an experienced doc is close at hand should I get a treble hook in my eye, shoot myself in the thigh, or get my foot stuck in mouth.
Being from the Missouri Ozarks, I grew up with a lot of “untraditional” home medical practices. We always figured that there was no need to waste the doc’s time if you could fix it yourself – kinda’ the same theory as changing your own oil on the family Chevy. It’s not that tough a job and the pros have more important stuff on their minds.
One of my favorite newsletters comes from a Canadian writer, Jim Willie. His projections about the North American economy have been right far more often than they have been wrong. He is seldom wrong, in fact. He says America’s story as the leader of the world is over.
In his recent newsletter titled “The Golden Jackass“, Willie had this to say:
“It is my contention that the US financial structures broke without any remote potential for repair and revival in the summer of 2007… The system has broken, but the syndicate in control wishes to keep the music going, keep the machinery turning, keep the money flowing, so that they can continue the racket, bury the bond frauds, process the bad paper into USGovt coffers, continue to corner the printing press operations, and continue to con the USCongress into granting more funds. Nobody seeks justice and prosecution for over $1 trillion in mortgage bond fraud. Nobody seeks to remove key Wall Street firms from their command posts within USGovt finance ministries.”
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ Ronald Reagan
