Does a Lose of Liberty Cause Stupidity?

Most of us could get along better with much less government than we have; there are others though who seem to require lifelong shepherding from prenatal care to the electric chair. It makes no sense to talk of self-government to a man that cannot even govern his own behavior.” – Paul Kirchner

Government intervention in our lives is making us stupid!! Even safety regulations reduce the need for us to think.

Every lose of liberty contributes to the de-evolution of the human species if you believe in that, every lose of liberty removes a God allowed or provided opportunities for us to grow, if the government removes those opportunities we can’t grow.

Consider this, if a kids learns and grows smarter, physically stronger, more adept and more responsible for his actions when he… say… goes too high on the monkey bars and falls and tries again and again until he is successful. What happens when the school removes the monkey bars or lowers them or places mats under them, growth opportunities are hijacked and learning is hampered. If the Lords purpose is for mankind to grow and learn by way of experience and man effectively removes the easy, least injurious ways for learning, what alternative is there for the Lord but to up the ante, allowing or causing the learning to be accomplished at a more dangerous and injurious level, possibly involving more people and innocent by standards; just a thought.

For those that do not believe in divine intervention, we just get stupider because we have fewer learning opportunities and less motivation to learn because Government is the Almighty caretaker and protector. It sort of reminds me of an old movie “Idiocracy”

As government takes over the role of supreme provider and protector, what reason is there for a God, maybe governments reverse engineering process has succeeded, and they have assumed the role. Government has to destroy God …so government can become God

Obamacare State Opt-Outs; Obamafuscation at Its Best

What seems to be ignored with the whole “States Opt Out” provision in the senate version of Obamacare is how it affects individuals and businesses in the states. I really don’t see how it is a benefit to anyone; it is a distractive play to obamafuscate the truth.

1. If states “Opt-Out” do the state’s residents have only two options, buy Private Insurance or suffer penalties?

2. If a state Opts-Out, how do individuals Opt-Out of paying federal taxes and penalties to support the government (public) option of states that Opt-In?

3. If a state Opts-Out, will private business be able to Opt-Out of paying related taxes, penalties, or premium increases to support the government (public) option of states that Opt-In?

4. If a state Opts-Out, can private insurance providers Opt-Out of fees, penalties, federal payments structures and other federal mandates etc. to support the government (public) option of states that Opt-In?

5. If a state Opts-Out, how does an individual avoid premium increases as multi-state health insurance providers adjust premiums as a result of government (public) option in Opt-In states?

6. Will the CBO take into consideration as they guess about the costs of the Opt-In-Out option, the massive increase in bureaucracy necessary to sort through state options and interstate individual circumstances and the financial implications of a YES answer to any of the above questions?

If the answer to any one of the above questions is NO, then three things are apparent;

1. The Opt-In-Out option is a penalty, for conservative leaning states residents and an attempt to shift the public view of conservatives toward the left to avoid penalties

2. The Opt-In-Out option is a penalty that will be used against Opt-Out legislators in the midterm elections.

3. RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES OF Opt-Out STATES WILL BARE A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL BURDEN; THEY WILL PAY TO COVER Opt-In STATES WITH HIGHER TAXES AND THEY WILL PAY BECAUSE THEY WILL BE FORCED TO BUY MORE EXPENSIVE PRIVATE INSURANCE OR PENALTIES, A RESDISTRIBUTION ON TOP OF A RESDISTRIBUTION.

Please ask the hard questions and clear away the smoke that is getting blown in our faces.

Is Expediancy a Good Excuse to Prevent Public Scrutiny of Legislation

First; I am somewhat enamored with Teddy Roosevelt as a man, I am opposed to the redistribution of wealth by means of the 16^th amendment: and while I cannot forgive this perpetrated fraud and the gross misappropriation of our liberty, I can find some wisdom in the man and respect for his adversarial response to the trials of life.

“No Man is justified in doing evil on the grounds of expediency.” The Strenuous Life by Theodore Roosevelt

 Expediency seems to be the strategy of the Obama administration; the evil is being propagated by current progressives in numerous ways, found among Health Care and Financial/Stimulus regulation and legislation.  It’s all right to have your agenda but to foist it upon Americans is evil. 

 

Teddy’s progressive agenda was openly promoted, a necessity to gain support for “Manifest Destiny”. Public debate and review was welcomed and deemed necessary to the success of Teddy’s goals, and he waged his battles on the philosophical front to gain the hearts and minds of engaged and knowledgeable supporters. Contrary to Teddy’s methodology we find today politicians trying to cram legislation down the public throat, in secret, or by obfuscation in massive bills full of legalese and Liberty robbing language. And while Teddy’s goals were the expansion and growth of the United States, economically and in world influence, the current obama-fuscation has but one goal, the mediocritization of Americans and the United States; a process to bring our financial system and economy, production capabilities and education system under the harness of the socialist agenda, co-opting American individualism, competitiveness and capitalistic values into the world socialist status quo. And while Obama may not be the originator of the progressive-izing process he is the latest and certainly most blatant propagator.  It is not a broad intuitive leap to conclude that the progressive agenda is the normalization of world powers on the same plane and the ultimate unification thereof.  Regardless of whether it is for the establishment of a One World Government or many governments with leaders unified for their personal growth in wealth and power, it is an evil excused by the political demon of expediency which ultimately over-shadows the invective motivations and realities of these authors of socialization. The motivation is the control of an ignorant citizenry, the rape of their liberties and confiscation of their individual and collective products and potentials. 

 A word of warning: Be careful in your use of the word obamafuscation in heated discussions, you just might slip in its use, saying obamination or obamafication (about the same thing really) or worse Obamafuc*ination (Obama is screwing the nation over).  Be especially careful because your reaction to the socialization of the United States, regardless of who is at the helm,  might be interpreted or labeled as racially motivated hatred and found worthy of white house scrutiny (maybe that should be spelt screw-tiny as in the tiny peons) or worse, retaliation. Beware of the evil!

The Democratic Party is the Socialist Party

Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968 and some of us are old enough to remember him running for President) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. Norman Thomas said this in a 1944 speech:

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

He went on to say:

“I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”

Federal Control of Executive Compensation: An Ulterior Motivation

Recently a few formerly failing companies are back in the black making a profit, deserving of monstrous bonuses. Wow, if the government gave them billion dollar bailouts, is it a far stretch to question if “profit” is a synonym for “bailout”?? Billion dollars bailouts could just as easily be billion dollar profits considering how corporate ledgers get cooked. So the “Economic Stimulus Package” could be better labeled “Financial Industry Profit Package” sounds kind of like a government employees benefit package. Oh I get it; the government has a perception to foist upon the ignorant public, to further deceive them about the reality of the government’s takeover of the financial industry and eventual socialization of the U.S. economy.

Latest step in the socialization process…
Demand a huge reduction of executive compensation under the guise of appeasing public demand for justice. Consider an ulterior motivation; cut the pay of the strong leaders in these corporations and just maybe they will take their skills and talents somewhere else. What better way to install a weak manipulatable leadership and establish government cronyism. Granted “skills and talents” are questionable inconsideration of the way these corporations have failed, but you might question if it wasn’t all planned in the first place.   Maybe they are all on multiple payrolls, government, corporate and Federal Reserve and just maybe this is a finalizing saving face escape plan.

Is this a real Economic Recovery: Inflation and Stocks and Gold??

Just wait until national debt driven inflation really heats up. The typical delay between cause and inflation is 12-18 months, I’ve read: buckle your seat belts, some predictions I have heard are for 300+% inflation rates. The inflation delay is generally caused by industrial lag in raising consumer prices despite the increased costs of production. And while that’s a story for another day, the need to recognize what is coming is today’s emphasis.

Note: I have been doing some calculations; the value of stock market has increased in direct proportion to precious metals prices over the recessions history (stocks include DOW, S&P, and NASDAC, Precious metals include, gold, silver, platinum and palladium.) The average metals price is up 63.8% and the stock market
up 64.6%. In reality, for the most part, the companies represented by the stocks have not increased in value; it only appears that they have. This appearance is due to the deceptive workings of a debtor currency known as the Federal Reserve Note, the dollars you and I spend on a regular basis. The situation begs a question; The recession affects business/industry adversely, how could they be worth more when most economic indicators over the last six months have not been equivalently optimistic? Devaluation of the dollar!

Gold is a relatively stable indication of the value of the dollar; if the gold price increases it indicates the value of a dollar has dropped; more dollars for the same ounce of gold. It is not related to supply and demand as some would have us believe. For arguments sake, is it believable that the quantity or availability of gold has changed so dramatically in the recent past to warrant a price to jump 63.8%, not to me. On the open world market last summer the dollars was worth $.90 in currency markets today it is worth $.75.

Stocks have value based on a number of factors that revolve around the actual company and other economic indicators, but the value of a company doesn’t change that dramatically in the short run especially in the six months between March and Sept of this year.

So over the last few months we have seen the DOW go from a low of 6517 to 10029 and at the same time gold is up equivalently forcing dollar value down. This means that the so called Economic Recovery could be false because it is linked to the fact that dollars have been devalued and it takes more dollars to buy something that is intrinsically worth about the same thing as it was six months ago. Sorry for the redundancy but after all metals are up 63.8% and the stock market is up 64.6%, statistically a fairly strong correlation even in consideration of my simplistic understanding of economics.
