After I wrote my column “Liberal non-elimination” three weeks ago, I was left with a distinctive feeling that I left the core of the subject of “Liberalism” unaddressed. This short analysis is intended as a make up for this lack of thoroughness.
There are so many absurdities that the “Liberals” commit.
On one hand, they give lip service to Darwin and natural evolution (footnote: Whether Darwin’s evolution theory is correct or not does not affect the validity of the argument presented here), but on the other hand they insist on “intelligently” re-engineering the human nature, by removing what they call “racism” and “greed” from it, and redoing the most complicated system that nature has created on Earth: the Western society.
I just returned from Haiti with Hebler. We flew in at 3 AM Sunday to the scene of such incredible destruction on one side, and enormous ineptitude and criminal neglect on the other.
Port of Prince is in ruins. The rest of the country is fairly intact.Our team was a rescue team and we carried special equipment that locates people buried under the rubble. There are easily 200,000 dead, the city smells like a charnal house. The bloody UN was there for 5 years doing apparently nothing but wasting US Taxpayers money.

“Oh yes, Mr. President, we know you have lied to us before and everything you promise never comes true, but we believe you now. Your State-of-the-Union speech was so articulate, sincere and animated, even though it is just a reflection of your Teleprompter. We know you have tried hard and that your intentions are only to seek what is good for America and the American people. We know that it is really all President Bush’s fault because for over a year now you have been saying it was his fault, so it must be his fault ….. right Mr. President?”
Sensible, intelligent Americans are furious over the recent Supreme Court 5-to-4-decision referred to as Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that struck down limits on corporate spending in presidential and congressional elections. Those of us who wail against the corpocracy with its corruption of government could hardly believe that this decision could in any way be justified. A major reaction has been a number of groups calling for a constitutional amendment to fix the problem.
Introduction and Review By “it”, I mean direct taxation on our private personal property, including our homes, our motorized conveyances, our right to travel, our right to earn a living as we see fit, our marriages, and so on down the list of rights that are taxed, regulated, and then taxed and regulated some more.
“Honest” Abe Lincoln (even though he is one of the worst traitor/tyrants of this land of ours), said,
“I believe that every individual is naturally entitled to do as he pleases with himself and the fruits of his labor, so far as it in no way interferes with any other men’s rights.”
Hey, if it is our property and it is private and its is obtained by right, then government has no say-so whatsoever in when, how, where, or if we can use it, as private means “not under government control.”
For several years now, we have tried to convince our audience that it is not possible to win our freedom and property rights battles within the confines of the law, through the legislative or judicial branches of government. The deck is stacked against us. And certainly we will win nothing by approaching the executive branch. Even our right of initiative is under attack by the legislative branch and the courts.
I had an interesting discourse with a gentleman the other day, about what is wrong with our nation. He claimed to be a Christian; had studied the Bible; but what became obvious, in our discourse, was that he had no clue the foundation of our nation.
People ask all the time, “How did we get here? What can we do?”
Those who would disparage our Founding Fathers and the foundations of our nation are quick to point out that “not all the Founding Fathers were Christians.” They point this up as though it makes the case that our nation was not founded on Christianity.
I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman’s club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. H. L. Mencken
While no nation is perfect, because of the principles contained in our founding documents, the united states of America comes about as close to perfect as one could expect.
“There is an inviolate law in nature. Complexity in organisms can lead to the emergence of order. Biological evolution and the diversity of life on Earth is a result of that law. However, it has also been shown that too much complexity in these organisms, in almost all cases, leads to chaos and finally extinction of the organism.” – Ron Ewart
Years ago we had a small company that did business with the military, wherein we installed electronic equipment on military bases. We would get the bid specifications, submit our bid and then if accepted, wait for the contract that would seal the deal. The contract would come, consisting of a hundred pages or more and we would read it over as best we could without really knowing its full content and what would happen if their was a breach by either party, or what would happen with all the other contingencies that were buried in those pages.
I’ve followed the issue of Climategate with great interest, as it has seemed that the issue has mirrored events in the field of domestic violence and partner abuse. Abusegate also occurred due to money, political power, and careers at stake.
Where Abusegate is concerned, however, there is one more element – the life or death of feminism, and its determination to liberate women from the so-called “oppression” of marriage and family.
Life is funny. A year ago Barack Obama thought that he had a mandate to rule – not govern, but rule – as a totalitarian dictator. Now, it turns out the only mandate he can count on is dinner and a movie with Representative Bawney Fwank.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. In the days leading up to Scott Brown’s amazing victory in Massachusetts, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of their misbegotten ilk were publicly stating how they would ram socialized healthcare through Congress regardless of the election’s outcome.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” - Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister
It began as a beautiful cruise to a land of “hope and change”, but it has become a nightmare in which the ship of state is being deliberately steered toward a whirlpool of debt from which, if Obama is successful, the nation cannot escape.
One of the primary reasons the U.S. economy has grown over the years has been the confidence in its innovation and productivity. It has generated investment from around the world from those who wanted to profit from our success story. There was a time when U.S. securities were the safest in the world, but that is no longer the case.
That strange sound you hear if you listen closely is Senator Ted Kennedy spinning in his grave. Could he have possibly imagined a worse consequence of his departure from the Senate when health care reform was so close? Absolutely not. When he was alive he probably was not even aware of Massachusetts state senator Scott Brown. Though Kennedy deserved a better outcome, Democrats richly deserved the Republican win in Massachusetts.
Should the United States be concerned about Iran’s determined efforts to reach out to Latin America? Or, as was suggestively described in the Economist, by the Ayatollahs’ strategy of cozying up to Latin America?
The US continues to see the world as its own business. It gives itself and its allies, most notably Israel, the right to geopolitical maneuverability. Iran, on the other hand, is censured, derided and punished for even its own internal policies, within its own borders.
It is becoming more and more obvious that the Democrat leadership, from Obama, to Pelosi to Reid, have absolutely no clue about the strength of the growing opposition to their big government agenda. They still think the TEA Party movement is the brainchild of the Republican Party and that TEA Party leaders are just paid Republican lackeys.

Barack Obama has now been center stage for two years—one as a presidential candidate (and president elect) and one as president. Americans have begun to take their measure of the man, judging him to have been a remarkable success in his first role and struggling in his second. Obama recently awarded himself the grade of “a good, solid B plus” for his performance in office, but the public is not as lenient. The gap in the assessment between Obama the candidate and Obama the president is enormous. Having entered office with a public approval of 70 percent, he has fallen today below 50 percent, the steepest such decline at this point of any first-term president in the postwar period. Obama also has the lowest approval rating at the end of a president’s first year.
1950: Along with seven business associates, Preston Tucker — founder and namesake of the Tucker Car Corporation and the creator of the ultramodern Tucker ’48 sedan — is found not guilty of 25 counts of mail fraud, five counts of violating SEC rules and a single count of conspiracy to defraud.
The company, however, would not survive the bad press and production delays that the trial imposed. The name “Tucker” would become synonymous with a failed business dream.

I was more than a little taken aback when on more than one occasion, not only Bill OReilly but Glenn Beck pooh poohed the idea that Barry was not a natural born citizen, now I have a pretty good indication why.
Earlier this evening, OReilly said he thinks the President should come on the factor for an interview in the aftermath of the election of Mr. Brown.
At the risk of offending many, we go boldly forth into no-man’s-land and take issue with what appears to be the prevailing wisdom, that the rise of Sarah Palin to the level of conservative nirvana is just short of inventing the electric light bulb. We have had these opposing views since she first suddenly appeared on the scene, out of virtual obscurity, during the last 80 days of the 2008 Republican campaign for president.
In fairness, let us first accentuate her positives. She is an attractive woman with excellent bearing, of quick whit and mind, apparently an exemplary wife and mother and she says all the things that conservatives want to hear.
January 19, 2010 – The CBS Evening News tonight had an opening salvo about the Massachusetts race. While Martha Coakley was characterized as the Massachusetts Attorney General, Katie Couric lost no time portraying Scott Brown as a “former model” complete with nude picture of Scott Brown with certain anatomical parts blurred out.
The meaning, of course, could not have been clearer: Martha Coakley was an upstanding citizen while Scott Brown was a sleaze that had crawled from beneath semen stained bed sheets and put on a suit!
"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
