Avg. SC Gas Prices on 8/1/2012

Ooopsies! The government has misrepresented economic numbers, again. They didn't bother to report the 13¢ - 25¢ rise in gasoline prices, at the end of June. At one State gas station, the price of gas, then, was as low as $2.70/gal and today, a check of the same gas station revealed regular at $3.28/gal. So, while it's true that gasoline prices have risen 17¢ in July, the actual rise since June 1st is between 30¢ & 50¢. We're right back where we were, with intolerably expensive gasoline, rather than just onerously expensive gas.

Blaming the Innocent

Apparently, Obama's words have finally come home to haunt him, as I predicted, when he said them. I also predicted that he would try to weasel out of his words. But teachers and roads were the wrong answers, too. You don't have to use a bridge or a road, you have to learn the information for yourself, no matter how well it is presented, and you have to pay for the road's construction and your taxes or tuition hires the teacher, so you still did it by yourself.

No, the man who would be president is the perfect example of a 1930's Italian Fascisti. As Neil Boortz points out (all the dang time) he was raised by his mom and dads to be that way. He doesn't know any other way of looking at the world. He doesn't really know where money comes from. He also does not understand free will, nor the moral risk associated with personal responsibility. Now, by endeavoring to be clever and trying to obfuscate his own heart-felt words and ideals, he has opened up his real, closely guarded persona. Again.

I love to watch BBC Science programs and NOVA on PBS, because I love to laugh. Not because they are wrong, but because an honest examination of mathematics and science is bringing us closer to the mind of God.

If you know anything about theology - and, here, I am not talking about what is called "primitive theology, the gift of faith" but intellectual theology, or "hermeneutics," - then you understand what I mean. As science and math look back further and further into the misty beginnings of the universe, the findings make the lookers use terms, which definitions sound suspiciously like terms used in hermeneutics.

In the beginning..

String Theory is a good example. In String Theory, matter is composed of strings of energy which vibrate at certain levels in order to assume its type of matter. Or the Big Bang - "Et dixitque Deus fiat lux...'." Or the "Goldilocks" position of the Earth with a moon created by another planet grazing the proto-earth at just the right angle which created the thing, guaranteeing the geological stress necessary for evolution, but with stability of seasons, to insure curiosity for intelligent life that would eventually evolve.

Even prior to all of this science cum theology, it was always interesting to me that the great stories of the Bible had a foundation in fact. And that the Hebrews had dietary laws that have been proven by medicine to be a great way to prepare food to keep from being killed by eating the wrong things or prepared the wrong way.

At some point, you have to ask yourself how many of these similarities are just coincidences. I am quite sure that the Almighty understands the Goldilocks principle, because, in the beginning.. well, you know the story.

The Democrats think that passing the tax increase for small businesses and other "millionaires" is a smart thing. And if the Republicans in the House pass it, it would plunge the US deeper into the recession which has ended only in the South. Fortunately, they will either kill the bill or vote it down.

The Democrats will pretend the slow economy is to be blamed on the failure of this tax increase to be passed. But if people vote out as many Democrats as possible, including Obama, the tax "cliff" will be just a date, with the tax increase revoked in mid-January.

We will now witness what progressives have saddled us with - a comedy of errors we call our justice system. Justice would be taking that piece of vermin vomit in Colorado and stringing him up by his privates until he starved to death.

Instead, bleeding hearts will bleed, morons will bleat, and progressives will purse their lips and talk about gun control. The vermin vomit will get a plush cell, three squares, probably internet access, and cable plus (it IS Colorado, folks) for the rest of his life.

This is not justice. This is laughing at justice and destroying the peace of freedom. And don't you just know that this vermin vomit understands this so much better than decent people.

I have had a couple of psychiatrists write to alert me to the fact that they think he is faking. They observed that he knows how a psychotic is supposed to act and is putting on a show. They also warned that the Colorado system will not allow the 24/7 video of him in his cell to be brought as evidence. As a trainer of actors for 45 years, I tend to agree with them. His performance is perfect. Too perfect. A person with a real psychosis has lucid moments. This vermin vomit is all crazy all the time he knows he's being observed. And Colorado law mandates that the crazy person be informed that he is being observed. (I kid you not!)

And you HAVE seen his face before. On the Sistine Chapel in Rome. It's the face of the "Damned Man" from "The Last Judgement" by Signore M. Buonarote.

The stupid Progressive system we have must be replaced with an ethical system that recognizes the need to define and recognize evil in terms of free will. This vermin vomit in Colorado is not crazy. He is wicked beyond measure and should be terminated. There is no doubt that he did it. There is no doubt that he planned it with cold logic and satanic anger. The only question left to answer is electricity or poison?

The rate is up. But our poor are very rich compared to the poor in any other country. Our poor have color TVs, a car, and a monthly income.

No wonder the poverty rate has increased; Poverty has been upgraded too.

Thanks to another crazy person acting out his fantasy with the lives of teenagers, some of the creepy people on the Anti-Gun side are already out in public saying that we need to restrict all guns all the time. To answer those creepy people, and to make sure everyone understands, the CWP law in Colorado is so tortuous, that it is almost impossible to get one, unless the sheriff of a county allows it. Can you guess how the Sheriff and Police Chief of the county in which Aurora exists feel about the second amendment?

One of the great fallacies of law enforcement is that they think they can protect people. They can't do it. Now, when it comes to catching perps, nobody does it better than the cops - even the ones in Aurora, Colorado. But prevent crime? Can't be done. Ask yourself, where was the adult with a CWP and a gun in that theatre? Or better yet, why WASN'T there an adult with a CWP and a gun in that theatre?

I've said before, and I will say again - every woman should carry a .38, & every man, a Glock. As L Neil Smith says, "An armed society is a polite society."

Maybe it's because it's Tuesday. Maybe it's because it's summer. Maybe it's because there are more cowards in banking than honest people working for a living. Or maybe there are not enough people who either don't know what's happening or don't care.

Maybe it's because my wife is making me clean my home office.

Either way, today's stock market defies explanation. The Economy is crap! The Senate is dedicated to playing "ho" to Obama's fairy tale economics! Obama is living in a different dimension! Banks are trading worthless paper! Why are we still talking about trading currencies?

NYSE agent guessing, "WhiskyTangoFoxtrot?"

Why don't we just trade Friars' farts? They have about the same monetary value as world currencies.. (Yes, this is a literary reference to the "Summoner's Tale" in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.)

Oh, and Bruce Wayne is a venture capitalist who pays more than his fair share, regardless of the BS you hear from Hollywoodland. His only problem is that Obama, his puppets - the Fed and the Senate - have devalued his paper money by 58%, after the previous Presidents since 1917 devalued the dollar by 40%.

Any student of history will recognize the tools that Hitler, Mussolini, and their henchmen used. The tough part is that most students of history have a hard time believing that anyone would ever use these tools again. You must decide for yourself if you have the courage to admit that this is what is happening now.

The tools these dictators used were many, but the greatest of these was the Big Lie. If you tell a big enough lie, people will believe you. For instance, you could say that your opponent is a felon. True believers will not even blink. But thoughtful people will trust that a person in such a high position could not possibly lie. Those who have the liar's back are usually the cynics who, like Goebbels, Borman, Martino, and Himmler, are there for the ride, the power, the rush - they expect the big lie and will find justifications to support it.

   
Yes, they look the same.. so, do we need to investigate the rumor that
David Axelrod is the son of Adolf Schicklgrüber?

Besides the felonious behavior lie, another is "a time of trials" which only Hitler or Mussolini (from whom Hitler stole the idea) could cure. Obama, like these dictators, has already persuaded many of his followers that we have had such a Kampfzeit and that we will have Kampfjahren (years of trials), even if we do re-elect him.

Every generation tries to convince itself that it has created a government directed by good intentions - that it operates from an ethical or moral platform. When those who run it discover that they have been betrayed, as they always will, because government is almost never the answer, they continue on the track that is familiar, which is to say, the wrong track. Under the dictators, this discovery came too late. Too late to change leaders.

It's not enough to just be against the kind of thug politics we have seen from this White House over the past three and a half years. People have to get out and vote to end this replay of Italian and German history. And what about all those "principled" people for whom Romney is not the "right choice?" The simplest answer is that working voters won't have another chance, if the same guy stays in another four years. Oh, they'll be able to vote, but these principled people - these working Americans - will NEVER be in the majority, again - not with 51% moochers, which is what America will have in 2016. To think differently is giving in to an even bigger lie.

Look. I can live under socialism or fascism or any other Marxist confabulation, government can poorly imagine. They're all BS, and they all have weaknesses which can be played. They are the most unequal of all systems even though equality is what they strive for - and that leaves lots and lots of loopholes. This is not a Democrat or Republican thing, although Democrats are not logical beings, for the most part (there are real exceptions, but you probably don't know about them.) This is a working American thing - a Capitalist versus Socialist Progressive thing.

Think of bears. Even park rangers know you shouldn't feed the bears. Why? Because they will become dependent on the food they get from the people who feed them. Welfare, unearned medical benefits, and tolerance of illegal immigrants are all bear food, and the government is the feeder.

When you feed the bears, Santayana is tsk-ing..

If you want to live in a society which is truly equal, you're going to have to give up some dearly held ideas, such as "government can solve problems," and "a society can be just without morals or ethics," and "not everybody has to contribute to his or her own welfare," and "spewing 'facts' without proof." We could start by passing the constitutional amendment you see to your left at the bottom of this page.

It's not that government does not have a function among civilized people. We need infrastructure (roads and schools) and a powerful standing army and courts of law with police who realize they can't protect, but they can serve. But a federal reserve which is constantly fed with more and more tax dollars because the system doesn't work? Or an environmental bureaucracy which destroys the lives of the very people it's supposed to protect?

It is an easy thing to call someone, "Hitler" or "Mussolini." But it is quite another thing to compare historical actions side by side. I am not calling Barack Obama "Mussolini" or "Hitler." I am saying that he is doing things which, if he is not stopped, will create a new dictator for history to ponder. Only he will be ours and we will have to explain our inaction to future generations.

Daisy

As you can see from the photograph, she has a supremely saintly look on her face, as if she is speaking with the Almighty. I cherish this picture because it signifies the irony of appearance versus reality

When the picture was taken, Daisy was not talking to God, as far as I know, but rather, looking at a squirrel which was yammering at her from its perch, in a nearby oak tree. In another time, say, 12 or 13 years ago, the squirrel may have yammered, but it would have done so on the move and from a higher limb.

Having spent some time fighting political battles, I recognize the importance of imagery which effects elections. Conservatives are not very good at political imagery. Progressive political operatives, on the other hand, do it in their sleep. To them, Daisy is talking to God. To them, it does not matter what the truth is - only what the truth can be made to look like. On the other hand, Conservatives can't tell which is the real and which is fake.

I'm not trying to pick on Conservatives - the Progressives do that well enough. What I'm trying to do, as I did last week, is trying to get Conservatives to toughen up. If they are going to get this country back on the right track, they must fight as if their lives depended on it. They must harden themselves to be as ruthless as the Progressives, but without the dishonesty of that benighted philosophy. Don't tell me it can't be done. I've done it. Several times.

If you don't know how to do it, buy us lunch, and Daisy and I will tell you.
