Marxists and Mat Hatters

Maybe the best take on Socialism ever: (Ignore the bad grammar...it's the substance that matters.)

" 'Theft from who I think is rich is ok. Theft from who you think is rich is not, especially if it is me! ' Socialism is not for the socialist. Socialism is for everybody else."

Apparently the FleaBagger encampments are rife with thievery. And it's outraging those who are being stolen from...as they advocate for the government to steal the property and wealth of others and give it to themselves.

The creed of the Socialist:

1) It's okay for me to steal from people richer than me.
2) It's NOT okay for people poorer than me to steal MY stuff.

Socialism is not for the socialist.

So nicely understood in Sharing Without Asking. (see comments for above quote)

It so reminds me of my nephew when he was young and stupid. Actually, it reminds me of ME when I was young and stupid:

The age he (and I) were was between 16 - 18 years old...and amazingly it was the EXACT age  at which people are the coolest! Go figure!

Our younger siblings weren't as cool because they were too young. And everybody older was lame because they were too old. He (I) was the PERFECT age...the coolest age.

What a coincidence!

If you asked me why I was cooler than my younger siblings, I would have said because I was older. If you asked me why I was cooler than my parents, I would have said because I was younger.

Staggering narcissism.  Staggering logic.

And these little FleaBaggers are exactly like that. As they see it, they are the perfect victims, the presumptive beneficiaries of the government's theft of other people's wealth...but never the one's from whom wealth is taken to benefit those less fortunate than themselves!

If you ask them why they should get other people's money, they'll say that the rich have more than they do, and they should share it with those who have less. If you ask them why they don't want to give poorer people their own money, they'll say it's because it belongs to them, and no one has a right to their stuff.

I don't think it's possible to have a conversation with them that doesn't resemble one you might have with the Mad Hatter.

Flea-Baggers Hangover

Heard a report this a.m. from one of a team of morning talk guys who went down to the hub of "Occupy San Francisco" yesterday.

He said there were about 40 - 50 people wandering around, looking bored, dirty and hungry. Nothing was happening; even their "activity" dry eraser board didn't have anything slated. He said it rather reminded him a people who showed up at a party, expecting it to be a lot more fun than it turned out to be.

I don't think this "movement" has a long life. Sort of like some of our Republican candidates...short, if brilliant burn...straight to burn-out.

As soon as the weather gets colder and wetter, the Flea-Baggers will retreat to the relative warmth of the sewers from whence they came.

Seems Kind of Obvious

Obama is not a flim-flam man. He told us exactly who he was and what he would do before the election. If some folks didn't listen to his words and their meaning that shows their laziness. He said he would "spread the wealth," he said he would "bankrupt the coal industry," he said that he hated the military, hated white people, hated the middle class, and hated Jews. He sat in Jerimiah Wright's church for 20 years, started his campaign in a terrorist's living room, and was a disciple of Saul Alinsky. What else did you want?   --Katherine Collins  

Will We Survive?

This is very distressing. We'd better get ready. The Left will not tolerate our survival.

Honestly, I don't know what to do. For me, in Kaliførnia, it doesn't matter, there is hardly a conservative to target. But one of the things I cling to for mental and emotional stability and comfort, is that elsewhere in the country, in Red States...there are people, regular American Voters who elect the Right people.

And it is my fervent hope that they continue to do so, so that when I can get the fuck out of here...I can go to one of those places and live among "my people".

When I see them targeted in what one thinks of as "safe" places, by loathsome fanatics with bottomless treasuries at their disposal, and armies of mindless, lurching zombies...I despair.

I despair.

More Disdain

Things just get nastier. 'Bama is still inspirational. But I don't think it's exactly what he had in mind. People are getting bolder and balder in their assessments. And it is good.

Emphasis in the following is mine.

Black Saint Said:

Any man who believes he is “We are the one the world has been waiting for” promises “to stop the rise of the Oceans and begin the cooling of the Earth” is to say the least an individual of staggering arrogance or more likely an individual with serious mental problems. Why anyone continues to support this incompetent, lying, petulant, whining, blaming, sulking, narcissist is hard to understand!

Guy doesn't mince words, amirite?

The Bamster's Experience

SeniorD a commenter at American Spectator had this to say:

Obama is the product of decades of careful preparation to be the Socialist Left's Stalking Horse. He lived a life of luxury provided by what I continue to call the Trust Fund Socialists (beginning with his Grandparents) and never really knew the sort of life where one must struggle to make ends meet. He was fed a steady diet of Marxism, Islam, Black Liberation and social advantage. His polished oratorical skills are the product of serious coaching by professionals while his other teachers polished his thin veneer of American values. Throughout it all, this intellectually challenged puppet's ego grew to a Citizen Kane proportion.

Because of his easy path through life, always guided and aided by 'friends' of his grandparents, or other fellow Socialists, Obama never learned to corral his ego. He was always handed the Brass Ring and, when it became obvious his intellect was not up to the challenge, others stepped in to divert attention (see Jarrett, V., Ayers, W.). Since the entire contents of his personal capability remains the polished oratory, all he can do is make speeches. He has never led, always followed; he has never been tested, always dependent upon others to make the tough decisions.

Often the commenters are as good as the writers. They just don't get as much credit, unfortunately.

Quote of the Day

"The liberal agenda is always destined to fail, as it has no foundation in reality. "   --SteveInTampa

                                     

Who Is Jeopardizing Your Job?

Here is a great letter quoted in Lee Rodgers' blog. The problem is, he doesn't separate his posts, so that I can't link you directly to this, or I would. So here it is in its entirety:

This is a letter to his employees written by the head of an engineering firm in North Carolina. It's long, but you may find it interesting reading... 

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn't pose a threat to your job.
      What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country. Of course, as your employer, I am forbidden to tell you whom to vote for - it is against the law to discriminate based on political affiliation, race, creed, religion, etc.
      Please vote for who you think will serve your interests the best. However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interest. First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for every business owner there is a back-story.
      This back-story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear.  Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside.  You saw my big home at last year’s Christmas party. I'm sure all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life. However, what you don't see is ... the back-story.
      I started this company 12 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living space was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you.
      My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn't have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business -- hard work, discipline, and sacrifice.
      Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes.  Instead of hitting Nordstrom's for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the Goodwill store extracting any clothing item that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's.
      My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury.  I, however, did not.  I put my time, my money, and my life into a business --- with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had.
      So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9 am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5 pm, I don't. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself.  I unfortunately do not have the freedom.  I eat and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to me like a 1 day old baby.
      You, of course, only see the fruits of that garden -- the nice house, the Mercedes, the vacations... You never realize the back-story and the sacrifices I've made. Now, the economy is falling apart and I, the guy that made all the right decisions and saved his money, have to bail out all the people who didn't.
      The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed a decade of my life for.  Yes, business ownership has its benefits, but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the cost of running this business, and employing you, is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit and let me tell you why:
      I am being taxed to death and the government thinks I don't pay enough. I have state taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what?   I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it, now occupy most of my time. I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes.  You know what my "stimulus" check was? Zero. Nada. Zilch.
      The question I have is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 2,200,000 people per year with a flourishing business? Or, the single mother sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check?

      When you have a comatose man on the verge of death, you don't defibrillate and shock his thumb thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? Or, do you defibrillate his heart?   Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it, not kill it. Suddenly, the power brokers in Washington believe the mud of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine.
      Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep. So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers.   You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child's future. Frankly, it isn't my problem anymore. Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire.
     You see, I'm done. I'm done with a country that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, will be my citizenship.
      While tax cuts to 95% of America sounds great on paper, don't forget the back-story: If there is no job, there is no income to tax. A tax cut on zero dollars is zero. So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, who understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't?  Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of saving your job. While the media wants to tell you "It's the economy, Stupid" I'm telling you it isn't.
      If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country, steamrollered the Constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me in the South Caribbean sitting on a beach, retired, and with no employees to worry about.

The Consistent Argument against the Perpetual Enemy

This was made the year I was born. And nothing needs to be changed to apply it to what's happening today. The same scumbags have been trying to steal our freedom and our human dignity for at least 100 years. And "John Q. Public"....today known best as a Tea Party Patriot is once again the one that sees the danger and is shouting "STOP!"

Mind your own business!

Hmmm...

So...it's okay if MEXICANS do it. But it's not okay if Whitey America does it?

I call that racist. It's only bad if White People do it. They have got a serious hard-on for big, fat, beautiful, successful, rich WHITE America.

Can we please admit that? And admit that their hatred is based on race? Which makes them RACIST?

And that WE are the victims of Third-World Racism, with collaboration by our Marxist "Resident" and the rest of his sick crew - filled with Red Diaper Babies of all skin colors?

Øbama's America - taking over the NFL: No Conservatives, no political opponents need apply.

...is just an example of what our country is becoming under the "rule" of the Marxists.

The display of ugly vitriol we've witnessed the last couple of days is just a sample and reflection of the hatred and blackness in the souls of the Left. They have every intention of destroying anyone who stands in their way.

John Guardiano writes about what happened in Personal Fouls.

If you imagine it has nothing to do with Sløbama, think again.

"The irony here is that this disgraceful episode that has sent one of the most decent, colorblind men in American football fandom packing from NFL ownership has unintentionally revealed a shocking fact. The fact? That there are indeed a number of people fearful of offending the NFL leftwing Massa's of the politically correct racial plantation that is the game of professional football.

Why so "Liberal"?

This is lovely:

We keep letting the totalitarian define the words.

Stop calling the totalitarians “liberals”.

Today’s totalitarians in America are a complex mix of ideological leftovers of history (anti-Western racism, populism, marxism in its poor soviet interpretation which is even more miserable than “true” marxism, Third-World-ism of the post-WW II times, jacobinism, dirigisme of the Lenin- Stalin -Mao style, thuggery of the Pol-Pot style, unionism of the Twenties, trendy leftism of the “caviar-left” of Western Europe, elitism, intellectualism with nihilistic roots)…and probably more…

ALL, but not “liberals”.

Waters Wants You Investigated...

The unutterably vile Maxine Waters had decided that all the participants of the March on Washington, and all Tea Party attendees should be "investigated".

The media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists like the ones who descended on Washington last weekend, one liberal congresswoman said Wednesday.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that it's not enough for African-Americans to levy allegations of racism against the right-leaning protesters, and that the media must look into their views.

"I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed," Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. "I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers."

This stupid (by which I mean actually, certifiably, demonstrably stupid...I'm not name-calling here) banshee (you have heard her speak, right?) is under investigation herself for corruption. Whoa, there's a surprise! I admit people like her expose the fundamental problem with democracy: there are enough pinheads in her district to repeatedly elect this halfwit to Congress.

And while I appreciate The Hill identifying her as a "liberal", "Marxist" would have been more accurate.

And they wonder why we hate government.
