CONDITIONING: “The process in which the frequency or predictability of a behavioral response is increased through reinforcement (i.e., a stimulus or a reward for the desired response). Classical, or respondent, conditioning, which involves stimulus substitution, is based on the work of Ivan Pavlov, who conditioned dogs by ringing a bell each time the aroma of food was presented. Eventually the dogs salivated when the bell rang, even if no food odor was present; salivation was thus the conditioned response.” Source: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia
Before I begin with this post, here is an update on the “Mystery Missle” sighting in California yesterday.
Captain Chuck Nash Retired, (more like retarded) a Fox News Military Analyst claims today that the missile fired in California was NOT a missile but a CONtrail from a plane that was distorted.
The election results indicate that the will of the people out trumped an out of control government, wielding the insipid concept of Socialism.
Close to 100 new Congressmen will be off to Washington D.C. to start freshmen orientation tomorrow, but by all indications the political party’s and their sycophant media, still don’t get the meaning of the significance of this election.
Obfuscation: n. the act of making or instance of making something obscure, dark, or difficult to understand…

“Conquerors never, never conquer a nation to bring freedom. They conquer a nation to control the masses.” – Ernst Zundel
From the dawn of civilization ambitious men have set out to rule the masses by the sword, the spear and the arrow. The lust to rule is buried deep inside the neurons of those who carry the gene that drives them to seek absolute power by any means. The reason for their butchery and savagery is irrelevant, be it religion, land, or resources, or just plain insanity. It is just the exercise of raw power for the sake of ego.
Historically, the Federal Reserve has had a poor record when it comes to correcting an economic slide into Depression.
In his book, “New Deal or Raw Deal?” historian Burton Folsom, Jr, asked and answered the question “What caused the Great Depression?” Among the factors he cited was the huge debt left over from World War One. In the United States, the national debt had ballooned from $1.3 billion to $24 billion in three short years, half of which consisted of loans made to the allies.
Every libertarian owes it to himself the see this movie. It is so shot through with libertarian messages, both overt and subtle, as to be an unintentional, non-intrusive ideologic primer on the philosophy for every American. It has just been offered free by Comcast. I’ve watched it again.
The Tea Party folks say they are going to take back our country, a former constitutional republic no, they ain’t!
Here are some of the reasons why.
1. Newt Gingrich: Newty is now an unofficial candidate for the presidency of the United States. As Speaker of the House and author of the “Contract with America”, it only took 60 days for he and his merry band to violate the “Contract”. Gingrich voted to create the U.S. Department of Education, voted to give Communist China “Most favored Nation” status, he was instrumental in the passage of NAFTA and GATT.
Once again, partisan Democrats are reeling in shock and humiliation, boggled by a familiar scenario — the sheer velocity of their reversal of fortune and the Republican right’s perennial ascendency. Democrats implore, why is it voters occupying less than privileged positions in the economic order evince such ardor embracing the principles of a political creed dedicated to their exploitation for the benefit of a ruthless few?
