Demotivational Progressive Talking Heads

Fact #1: Ryan Plan leaves all current Medicare patients, and anyone above age 55 for that matter, untouched.

Fact #2: Obamacare rips $700B (seven hundred billion dollars) out of the shaky hands of today's Medicare patients.

Mittens Has Chosen Wisely

Willard Mitt Romney has tapped Paul Ryan to be his running mate in this historic Presidential election. Paul Ryan is the perfect choice for the VP nomination, and the choosing of him commends Willard Mitt Romney’s good judgment.

And not just because he followed the advice I, LibertyAtStake, offered in my April 25th post We’re All Mittens Men Now.

Oh, and don’t forget Alinsky’s Rule 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.“ Which leads me to my next specific recommendation … tap Paul Ryan as your VP. He’s way better than any of us at talking about all that fiscal stuff. And Team Leftie will have a much harder time making a straw man mockery of their cartoon version of the “Ryan Plan” if we have the straw man himself out there talking sense back at them. You can be the suit, let Ryan be the smart guy, leave the food fight to conservative new media, and everything will work out just fine for you.

While it never hurts to follow my advice, I’m certain Mittens the CEO was able to figure this one out for himself. See, what he has here now is a really good CEO (the suit) and COO (the smart guy) team ready, willing, and able to take the election fight to BHO and His Corrupt Gang of Progressives.

And it will be a fight against the dirtiest fighters in American political history. Team Obama has attempted so far to disqualify Mitt Romney on the specious grounds he is guilty of animal cruelty, schoolyard bullying, felony tax evasion, and the latest – murder. There is simply no low too low for a Leftist in an election, as I’ve amply explained in post after post on this blog.

Take the lying sack ‘o sh*t named Stephanie Cutter, for example. The only bad thing about the Ryan selection is that it pushes her down the news cycle priority - as a prime representative of the ethics-free American Progressive Left.

The problem for Romney is this crap was working, like dirty low ball politics always seem to – at least when not forcefully countered. The evidence was plain as day in the polling data trends. Rasmussen’s daily presidential poll going into this weekend tells you everything you need to know about the power of negative advertising.

I’ll save a fuller examination of why negative advertising works for another time. Suffice to say, for now, every demagogue knows this, and the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama is the most demagogic President in American history. This trend needed to be nipped in the bud.

The choosing of Paul Ryan does exactly that. The mere choosing of the man with the plan has instantly elevated the discussion out of the gutter and on to the issues that really matter: gub’ment spending, tax reform, entitlement reform, and whether the United States of America is to become a bankrupt entitlement state like Greece, or remain the exceptional beacon of liberty and opportunity envisioned by its founders.

Paul Ryan has the chops to beat back the Leftist onslaught of negative demagoguery and bring the debate back to the big ideas: with facts, figures, and a detailed plan to back them up.

So, Mittens, LibertyAtStake commends you for choosing wisely in this historic moment. Paul Ryan is the right man at the right time to dispatch Team Obama’s corrupt gang of hacks, and their lickspittles in the biased liberal media ... in the same way King Arthur was the right man at the Bridge of Death. (The bridge keeper is the media, Lancelot is the Democrat, the others the usual Establishment GOP, and Arthur is Ryan).



So, let’s get it on and have a knock down drag out big ideas election for the nation’s future. In the (R) corner … the team with a detailed plan. In the (D) corner … the corrupt hacks who haven’t even bothered to pass a budget through the Senate for three years running. In 86 days, we shall find out … How Stupid *is* My Republic?

Jack Wiley Dithers' Exclusive Interview With the Senate Majority Leader

(AP) – Jack Wiley Dithers Reporting
“If You Can’t Scoop It, Make It Up.”

I was ushered into the Majority Leader’s office by a grim faced character in a poorly fitted black suit who looked like a reject from the cast of ‘Pulp Fiction.’ As I crossed the threshold, the Majority Leader was peeking furtively through a small crack in his otherwise fully drawn curtains.

JWD: On stakeout duty, Senator?

Reid: Just keeping an eye out for Teabaggers, that’s all.

JWD: Anderson Cooper introduced that term into our politics.*

Reid: Really? Soros told me they put that on their web site themselves.

JWD: Soros?

Reid: Uhhhh, I mean ... Think Progress. Anyway, sit down. Would you like something to drink?

JWD: I’ll take water.

{Here Reid silently made a movement to manipulate something under his desk.}

Reid: I called you here to share some secrets. You see, after I let the world know Mitt Romney owes ten years of taxes, I realized how liberating it can be to unload the burden of carrying secrets.

JWD: Go on.

Reid: Pro wrestling matches are fixed.*

JWD: I knew it! No way Hulk Hogan beats Sean Michaels in 2005 unless the fix is in.

{Here Mr. Pulp Fiction brings me a glass of water.}

Reid: Also, did you know fully two thirds of all American service fatalities in Afghanistan have occurred on Obama’s watch.*

JWD: Somebody alert Code Pink!

Reid: Did you also know 80% of Nevada is federally owned land?* Why, the house I grew up in was built on a old U-2 prototype crash site. The backyard backed up to a nuclear blast test site. The neighborhood kids used to play on a baseball field that had Area 51 as the home run line. Why, I once had to kick an alien in the groin – at least that’s what I think it was – to retrieve an overthrown frisbee.

JWD: I see. This explains a lot.

Reid: And since you brought up Anderson Cooper ... did you know he’s gay?

JWD: Everybody knows, Senator, he just came out.*

Reid: Of what?

JWD: The closet. That’s why the Teabagger thing is so funny.

Reid: Funny? Why?

JWD: Oh never mind. What else do you want to lay on me?

{Here Reid leaned in close and lowered his voice}

Reid: Biden is the source for Obama's national security leaks. See? If he's caught no one will believe he could be the source. Brilliant.

JWD: Pure Genius. Senator, why hasn't the Senate passed a budget the past three years?*

{Here Reid gets a quizzical look on his face}

Reid: Because nobody made me?

JWD: Senator, the law says ....

{Here Reid laughs his ass off}

Reid: Law? Laaaaaaaaaw? Oh, boy, you are a hoot!

{Here Reid reached into a drawer and pulls out a napkin}

Reid: Wanna know what that is, boy?

JWD: A napkin?

Reid: The Obama campaign strategy. Written in Axelrod's own hand. Go ahead read it - don't mind the dried up soy sauce.

JWD: Romney is rich. And a Mormon.

Reid: Less is more, boy. Everybody hates the rich guy. And those Mormons ... don't get me started.

JWD: Aren't you also Mormon, Senator?

Reid: Yeah*, but not that kind.

JWD: What kind?

{Here Reid's back straightens and he grimaces (well, more than usual, anyway).}

Reid: The Republican kind.

Demotivational Dingy Harry Reid

If you do not hold Democrat Party leadership in complete contempt by now, I can only conclude you have just re-emerged from a four year coma to read this.

Take, for example, the contemptible machine party hack and current Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reid. By way of background - the crooked Nevada politician in the movie 'Casino' was based on his early career. Completely accurately.

Fast forward to the present day, and Dingy Harry is running around making absurd unsubstantiated claims concerning the tax returns of his political enemy and complete opposite in character - Mr. Clean himself - GOP Establishment nominee Mittens Romney.

Most of the criticism directed toward Dingy Harry has concerned the moral rot inherent in requiring your opponent to prove the negative of a lie. Thus is the point of my double reverse back flip of a demotivational poster. More on that later in the post.

However, I would now like to challenge the the conventional wisdom motivating the blow back. Does anyone really think the corrupt Donkey Party doesn't already know what's in each and every tax return ever filed by Mittens. To the IRS? The very same IRS controlled by their corrupt and morally rotted administration? The very same IRS they are lining up to entrust with administering the ObamaCare mandates's penalty tax? (Queue Michael Corleone: "Now who's being naive, Kay?")

They already know there's nothing in there, trust me. They are lying through their teeth ... trying to create a class warfare wedge issue motivating their idiotic occutard voting base. Period. End of Sentence. You occutards now may go back to pissing on someone else's lawn or whatever it is you have on your busy schedule today.

==

Now, back to the fun afforded us citizen sovereigns by the Intertubes and social media.

==

A "pederast" is a man who enjoys sex with boys. You know, like that Sandusky guy, for you MSNBC viewers. The Intertubes is alight with joyous mockery of Dingy Harry utilizing this meme as effective satire. Also known as citizen action.

However, in true LAS contrarian fashion, I have another meme I like a lot better. I heard it with my own ears on Chris Plante's AM radio show. You see, it seems a caller into the show has knowledge that Dingy Harry is keeping a goat named Vicki in his Senate office as an entertainment expense. Inquiring minds need to know if this is true. Hence my demotivational poster tying in this meme with the corrupt absurdity of a Senate majority leader whose Senate hasn't even bothered to pass a budget in three years.

The staff cartoonist has gotten into the act with his greatest masterpiece to date, IMHO.

FREE VICKI THE GOAT!

Oh, by the way, my advise to Mittens is this: quid pro quo - Tax Returns for Transcripts. I need to see those transcripts ...

The Right to Eat a Chicken Sandwich In Peace and Quiet

(If this isn't covered by the "right to pursue happiness" then nothing is.)

How did we get to this point? To the point where a friggin' chicken sandwich is at the nexus of an epic ideological battle? I, LibertyAtStake, shall now give you the answer.

The Left.

==

The Left is a fascistic political theology. The Left is the ideology of the Stepford Wives, as a matter of fact. If you do not believe as they do, they will use every means at their disposal to force you to do so, or marginalize you out of their anointed sight.

For example, if Mayor Nanny Bloomberg doesn't want a large coca-cola, he's going to do everything in his power to make damn sure nobody else can have one either. If you think there might be an explanation other than their preferred explanation of racism for this or that statistic - they immediately label you a racist. If you advocate policies proven to increase opportunity for everyone, albeit without proportionally precisely equal results for all (their fantasy), they label you as possessing a deficit of "compassion." When you point out their so-called "compassionate" policies have a record of destroying opportunity for those who need it most, they go ballistic. And so on. There's simply no reasoning with these people.

Take this pseudo-intellectual drive through jerk, for example. What a sanctimonious twit. A true Fascist. And a perfect representative of the jackbooted, brown shirt American Progressive Left. Period. End of sentence.

==

So, I, LibertyAtStake, applaud the multitudes of "Regular Americans" (Mark Levin's awesome, somewhat sarcastic, Archie Bunkeresque label) of every race, creed, class, and this damn label, and that damn label - who enjoyed a simple chicken sandwich in First Amendment solidarity.

By way of transparent full disclosure I must, however, admit I did not participate directly in Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day. You see, I've never been much of a "joiner." And I had more immediate concerns to look after, truth be told. I'm more like William Dafoe's character in the movie 'Platoon.' Yeah, sure, I'm happy to lead a tactical unit into the teeth of the firefight (metaphorically, of course). I've learned I can be pretty good at that, you know. And, sure, I'd prefer to just relax with the guys between firefights, too - like Elias. But, the truth is, like Sgt. Elias, I actually 'do my best work alone.' (For dramatic purposes put into your mind or actually view Elias' penultimate foray into the jungle to rescue Sgt. Barnes. Sucks to be principled.)

==

So, I, LibertyAtStake, will just keep doing my thing over here. Today, that means highlighting three new sites on the "More Linkage" area of the "Schieffer Blog Roll" (eyes right and slightly downward).

These fine, patriotic, creative, artists seem to have created a new Intertubes genre we might label "Captioning For Fun and Profit."

LiberlLogic101.com lampooning the philosophical basis for the dementia.

DemWits.com mocking the political party under it's demented mind control.

LMAObama.com on 24x7 duty heckling their current champion, the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama.

Enjoy, patriots. I don't think I'll join in. I recently discovered I can get YouTube on my BlueRay player. Yeah, I know, I'm a late adopter.

Update 8/9/12

See what I mean about the Left's go-to, knee jerk, call to racism response. Pavlov's dog exercised more independent judgment.

“The Business of America is Business"

I can tell I would have enjoyed the company of the 30th President of the United States – Calvin Coolidge - if only because Cool Cal was universally recognized as a man of few words.

For example, there is this story I heard on evil AM band talk radio, related to me long ago by radio man (and former congressman and actor) Fred “Gopher” Grandy. Coolidge was at a formal dinner. Some random grande dame of Washington society walked up to him and said she had bet her husband she could get him to say more than two words. Coolidge responded with “you lose.” True story? Who knows? But who can doubt the word of a man with a resume that includes not only writing legislation, but also acting as a man wearing booty shorts and mixing drinks for clueless grande dames on a television show featuring a cruise ship? And, besides, imagine the possibilities if Cool Cal was our President in the Twitter age. The White House tweets would not only be far better, but actually from the man’s own hand, no doubt.

Yes, I can see Cool Cal would have been a good cell mate for me. It would have been … well, mostly quiet. And when he did open his mouth, I could have been certain it was worth paying attention too. In other words, it would be the total opposite experience of being around the standard issue 24x7 grievance politics ranting you get from the average progressive lib. (LAS to progressives: “Yes, yes, I get it. Everybody who disagrees with you is an evil racist. I’m still not going on your march to scream at the Koch brothers’ second cousin twice removed, and I’m definitely not giving you money to save the snail darter – whatever the hell that is. Isn’t that what we have the EPA for anyway? What’s their G-D budget – 2 gazillion? Shut up already! And why are you following me into the bathroom still yammering about contraceptives?“)

==

But I digress. The reason Cool Cal came to mind for LAS was a quote often attributed to him – “the business of America is business.” It came to me while I was contemplating how to treat the Empty Suit Known as Barack Hussein Obama stepping on his crank with the “you didn’t build that” gaffe.

For you see, despite the extraordinary spectacle of a sitting US President pleading the old “out of context” dodge, Obama’s small business smear betrays the core of his Leftist ideology – i.e. “the business of America is to feed the insatiable maw of the big government nanny state.”

Barack Hussein Obama sincerely believes, as all do on the political Left, that prosperity is created from the top-down, by big government experts making monolithic decisions from a centralized command and control apparatus.

The competing view, which carries the label “conservative” in modern times, and which was held by Cool Cal, places far more trust in you, the individual. In this view, prosperity is something that is generated from the bottom-up in a system of free enterprise that grants the freedom to everyone to make rational decisions in his or her own best interests, in accordance with his or her dreams. The government exists solely to soften the edges of the competitive results, to provide a safety net for those who choose poorly or experience the random hand of bad luck.

In this choice election of 2012, I ask you … does anyone really believe there are any truly existentially jagged edges in the modern American economy? An American economy where the so-called “poor” multitudes are said to be experiencing an epidemic of “obesity”? Please. It should be obvious to the most casual observer the government has become so large and overbearing it is well beyond merely providing safety nets … it is well into the Orwellian territory of smothering individual initiative and opportunity.

==

But, I digress (again). For a slightly deeper dive into the theory and underpinnings of the two competing ideologies; you can read my May 11, 2011 post Stuck On Keynesian Stupid. Much like Cool Cal, I don’t like to repeat myself.

However, in that post from nearly fifteen months ago, I did start a little Excel charting database comparing the economic growth results for conservative icon Ronald Reagan versus today’s progressive champion, Mr. Obama. So, allow me to repeat myself.

If this were an MMA fight, it would be Barry tapping out at 0:30 of the second round. But it’s not an MMA fight. It’s an election. Or, as my personal favorite founding father – Alexander Hamilton – is credited with saying: “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” So, which America do you want?

For you see, the dismal 1.5% growth is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the most recent quarter isn’t just bad news for Obama’s re-election campaign. It is the inevitable result of his Leftist policies. These policies are precisely why there are more Americans than ever on Food Stamps. Not due to anyone’s “compassion,” but due, rather, to the government leviathan’s need for a client base. Period. End of sentence.

==

Oh, by the way, it seems Cool Cal has been misquoted. (Gee, imagine that). This historian clarifies:

The real statement comes from a speech by Calvin Coolidge called "The Press Under a Free Government" which was given before the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington, D.C. on January 17, 1925. The quote is really: "After all, the chief business of the American people is business." However, Coolidge goes on to say that, "Of course the accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence."
…
His last paragraph in the speech shows what he really believes motivate Americans: "We make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth, but there are many other things that we want very much more. We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization. The chief ideal of the American people is idealism. I cannot repeat too often that America is a nation of idealists. That is the only motive to which they ever give any strong and lasting reaction."

Now, that’s “compassionate conservatism.” If only we could find a candidate to articulate it. Mittens? Over to you.

Newton's Three Laws (Part 26)

(Epic Blogger Fail Edition)

In my June 24 post "Weekly Status Report" I stated:

Part 26 of the “Newton’s Three Law’s” series will explain further. LAS has been collecting links to collate into Part 26. It’s not hard. All I have to do is browse my way down my blog roll and the myriad of epic failures attributable to the Progressive in the White House jump out at me ...

Well, I meant it with all good intentions. Really. It is high time, however, to declare this endeavor Overcome By Events (OBE)- and to loudly declare "PUNT!"

Instead of a proper Newtonian styled essay, I'll just drop the accumulated links into the now largely ignored and long unpromoted Assigned Reading List page, and declare victory. For the historical record.

==

Also for the historical record, I should go ahead and publish a couple of now OBE contributions from the staff cartoonist.

The first was at my suggestion early in the evolution of the epic blogger fail. I had a vague idea of weaving in imagery of trains colliding. So, I asked the staff cartoonist to give me Thomas the Tank Engine with the face of the Failure-In-Chief replacing Thomas' ...

There is great potential here for a fully rounded Obama the Tank Engine and Friends feature. We could have a Bill Ayers train, a Tony Rezko train, Jeremiah Wright train, Van Jones train, Saul Alinsky train, and so on.

The second OBE contribution from the staff cartoonist is more impressive to me, only because it sprung directly from his own imagination. The only input he needed from me was an answer to his proactive question "who was that guy that just signed Obama's bill?" He shortly thereafter came forth with this excellent rendition of Pelosi holding a gun to John Roberts while BHO makes sure he accepts the offer he can't refuse.

A very sophisticated demonstration of an intuitive understanding of exactly what's broken with the constitutional system, I must say. Well done, son.

Demotivational "Good Morning America"

As anyone who might be reading this post obviously already knows, a lunatic in Colorado committed a heinous act of mass murder at a movie screening. The murderous act of lunacy occurred in the wee hours as Thursday was transitioning into the subsequent Friday.

As the two hacks pictured were preparing for the Friday morning "Good Morning America" show - what maybe four hours later or so? - the cracker-jack investigative journalists at ABC News had performed a heroic text search on the Google machine. This heroic action yielded the existence of the shooter's name on a local TEA Party web site. Ah-hah!

Of course, as the reader may also already know, the linkage was factually blown up that same morning. The hacks were forced to apologize for their pathetic incompetence, and these hacks have endured a fire storm of deserved criticism. Most of that criticism seems to have diagnosed incompetence, unconscious bias, or a combination of both.

==

Newsflash: the correct diagnosis is intentional bias.

These propagandists are active agents for the political Left. Period. End of sentence. They salivate at the chance to create story lines and narratives assisting the cause of their politics. Even when doing so not only gives the perception of foolish incompetence, but also gives off the putrid stench of incredibly bad taste. Trying to make political hay out of murder victims ... really? While the bodies are still warm? Before the criminal's apartment has been searched - because it's booby trapped, just waiting there to create more senseless mayhem? Yes - because there is an ideological agenda to further, and furthering the ideological agenda is first, second, and third for each and every dedicated Leftist.

The contemporaneous post, and related comment thread, on Paco Enterprises captures what I mean from another angle.

Oh, he could just taste it, yes, indeedy! The kudos of his fellow talking airheads, the biggest scoop of the year - who knows, maybe even an Emmy Award for investigative journalism. James Holmes was the name of the mass murderer at the cinema complex in Aurora, Colorado, and, by golly, there was a James Holmes listed on a local Tea Party web site! ABC News' Brian Ross, ace reporter, had scored!

It is human nature to seek the approval of one's peers, and this is a peer group trapped inside a case of 'Group Think' dementia of the highest order. In other words, they are *useless* in relation to their supposed function of informing the public.

==

Brian Ross has therefore been added to the board of the Schieffer Blog Roll, on my right sidebar, as the ABC representative ...

The original honoree - representing CBS - was Bob Schieffer, for failing to ask Eric "My People" Holder, of the Department of Just Us, about dropping the New Black Panther voter intimidation case. When this issue was page one news. At the time, Schieffer settled on the "incompetence" defense, saying he wasn't prepared because he had just come back from vacation.

It's your yob, man! Either prepare to perform it or delegate the performance of it! The problem is ... I kinda think he already knows that. Schieffer plead down to "incompetence" to cover for lickspittle bootlicking, IMHO.

Andrea Mitchell joined the board when she presented a selectively edited video of NBC's political enemy Mitt Romney, to put him in a negative light ... carrying on the tradition NBC established by selectively editing audio of their political straw man (pinnata?) George Zimmerman.

As far as I know, Ms. Mitchell has not plead down to "incompetence" by way of explanation. Nor has she clarified she presents works of parody, which leaves only one remaining possible explanation for someone feigning objectivity. She's a complete fraud, out to destroy the leading contender to her messiah's throne.

Now go put 'Journolist' into the Google machine. I'm tired of explaining the obvious here.

Anyway, I carefully maintained my relationship leverage with the guy because I really like can use him, all the way up to his appointment as official caterer to Obama’s Camp David compound recently. This week it was Bingo!

Dempsey: … and that’s why the Syrian rebels need our immediate help.

Petraeus: We can’t emphasize this enough, sir. As Syria goes, so goes Egypt, and the entire Middle East. Tehran awaits your next move, sir.

Obama: Look, the sandwiches are here. All you scary military industrial complex guys get outtahere. I’m already five minutes late for the campaign team.

[sounds of chairs moving, muffled voices, people leaving and entering]

Obama: What do we have here? Hamburgers in various wrappers … Wendy’s, Checkers, Burger King, Five Guys, White Tower, Roy Roger’s … what happened to McDonald’s?

Obama: OK, dig in everybody. Great grub! Man, I’m excited. David, you have the latest polls as usual, right?! I can’t wait to see what they say about the Bain attacks. I gotta be a shoe in now!

Plouffe: David, you got the that?

Axelrod: Ummm, I thought you had it?

Obama: Come on guys give it to me. I’m stoked, dudes! This Bacon Chee is awesome.

Axelrod: Uhhhh …. Ummmm, ahem … sir, your favorability has dropped 9 points.

Obama: What! Which poll! Fox? Rasmussen? Dismiss those right wing nuts. What does CBS and the Times say?

Plouffe: (barely audible) Sir, it is the CBS / Times poll.

[Insert Hitler bunker parody video here]

Obama: Everybody leave except for Biden and Holder.

[sounds of chairs moving, muffled voices, people leaving and entering]

Obama: This is all your fault! Everybody loves me! Always have, always will. I can shit in the punch bowl and get a standing ovation. Believe me, I’ve done it. Literally. All I ask from you is a few class warfare stump speeches. A couple of interviews with journos on the payroll. And what do I get? I have to do gay marriage BEFORE the election! Now I got black preachers calling me around the clock to tear me a new one. You know how many bible clinging peaceniks I lost with that one?

Biden: I think they were already gone over Gitmo.

Obama: Shut up! Now I’m stuck with you. I can’t dump you for Hillary. I’d never be able to leave her outta my sight. She wants this chair so bad she even stayed married to Clinton to get it. And besides, Michelle’s big ass is enough around here. Two would be ridiculous. What am I gonna talk about now? The friggin’ economy? Damnit, what have you got to say for yourself?

Biden: Big effin’ deal?

Obama: {sigh} Jesus, I’m screwed. And you – dude, you really screwed up Fast and Furious something fierce. What - did you outsource it to Biden or something? I was supposed to be giving a speech announcing the rescission of the 2nd Amendment by now. Instead that sonofabitch Issa is sticking a microscope up my ass all because you couldn’t come up with a decent cover story! [fist pounding table] [coughing, hacking] Hey, what the hell is this in my burger? Looks like some kind of microphone or something.

One Trick Crony

The crucible of challenge and conflict has a way of reducing things to their basics. When “the chips are down” people instinctively reach for their “go to” reactions, tactics, and attitudes. It is just so for ideologies.

Barack Hussein Obama – the most ideologically rigid President in living memory – proved it this week with his desperate campaign message of the week (only approximately 16 weeks more to go, thankfully). He is in the electoral battle of his political life, and this week he trotted out the tired old “soak the rich” Progressive pitch.

American Progressivism is first and foremost the ideology of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Progressives require demons to demonize, in order to mobilize their constituents into virtual mobs (and sometimes even physical mobs on the street – see OWS) willing to engage in extortion in order to claw wealth and power away from their fellow citizens (assuming the mob consists of citizens, that is - sometimes the documentation is not so obvious).

==

The running rhetorical gun battle I had with my house troll Ema Nymton, on the comment thread to my April 25 post (“We’re All Mittens Men Now”) is instructive.

Click the two images to embiggen. Note: the Peter and Paul roles are reversed, but that kinda makes my point, doesn't it?

As Ema stipulates, the Progressive has a very regressive view of wealth. To them, it’s all something stuffed inside somebody else’s mattress, and it can only be acquired by breaking into the bedrooms of those who possess it, whatever ‘it’ is, and slicing open their mattresses.

What a bunch of barbarians. ‘It’ is what you do and create. You just need to find out how to barter ‘it.’

Btw - Somehow, I don’t think Ema is this dedicated Progressive’s real name. Maybe I should hold her name up to a mirror, or something, I don’t know.

==

When Progressive policies inevitably produce no economic growth, and the Progressive politician has no record of economic growth on which to run, the Progressive instinctively seeks to stay in power by collecting the votes of the mob of Pauls - by bribing them with Peter’s confiscated wealth. Trust me, Peter knows how to protect his wealth. After all, he acquired it in the first place. Any effort to confiscate it through coercion is wasted. Memo to all you Pauls – Peter is perfectly happy to pay you to do something useful. Learn how to do that, and the possibility of you becoming Peter yourself, or your children becoming Peter, is as real as the Progressive lie is false.

Well, I am beginning to feel like I’m coming through to the other side of that little personal issue I alluded to in my June 24 post. Also, the two professional rescues I described in the same post are settling into a reasonably predictable state of managed chaos. Making me feel right at home.

So, all fifty or so (Fifty you I don’t say!) of my loyal daily readership can rest easy now. There will be more ‘high brow snark’ (I just thought of that) coming from this space.
