Jay Leno’s ratings drop notably for second episode

*** begin quote ***

The Leno episode featured an interview with Michael Moore in the studio

*** end quote ***

I think Michael Moore is a muddled thinker. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Times They Are A Changing”. While he’s no Dylan or PP&M, I can remember singing that in Greenwich Village along with all the other audience of the many folk singers.

For the times they are a changing?

How’s that “hope and change” working out for you?

For the loser now, Will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin’.

“We, The People” have been losing for a long time at the hands of the Political and Elite. Time for us to start winning.

POLITICS: The only way to win is not to play

Your obligation not to vote
Center for a Stateless Society
by Alex R. Knight III

*** begin quote ***

“No one has any ‘right,’ under ordinary everyday circumstances, to use violence or the threat thereof to control another’s life or property. In fact, each of us has a very serious moral obligation to not engage our fellow human beings in such a manner. Yet, cloak a cop or a tax collector or a politician in the magical, quantum-physics defying aura of government, and suddenly this becomes not only acceptable, but even commendable and necessary. Such is the intrinsic nature of the State. Thus, by voting in political elections, a voter implicitly endorses this kind of immoral and intellectually indefensible behavior by proxy. No, Mr. or Ms. Voter, it’s not you specifically who holds the gun to the taxpayer’s head, throws the marijuana smoker into the jail cell, imprisons the peaceful owner of a certain type of weapon for life — and it may not even be the series of politicians you voted for — but in essence, by voting, by casting that ballot for the continuation of government, you are hiring hit men (and women) to do those things for you.” (09/09/09)

*** end quote ***

I’ve “learned” by banging my head on the proverbial wall that voting makes ZERO difference.

The incumbent duopoly has insulated themselves from change.

Maybe not voting will eventually tumble the state. Nothing else to date has worked.

Civil disobedience?

RANT: Municipal plate on the GSP

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Monroe’s MG63207 sped down the GSP tailgating.

No cops.

Guess there is a fire convention in Wildwood. The many other fire related cars and trucks with SG and MG plates seemed to be in no need to endanger everyone to get there!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Beck calls the FED out

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Glen Beck on his show now just called out the FED.

“Helicopter” Ben testified that the FED would NOT monetize the debt.

Today, Glen, with some help, demonstrated that the FED auctioned debt to the “public” and the next month bought that specific debt on the secondary market.

Can you say “shell game”?

I bet the Chinese are really steamed with their 5T$!

RANT: Congress is disingenuous

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125303051628912339.html?mod=djemalertNEWS

The House voted 240-179 along party lines to admonish Rep. Joe Wilson over his “you lie” outburst to President Barack Obama during the president’s health-care speech to Congress last week.

# – # – #

Sorry, but where was the “admonishment” when they booed President Bush.

Like Sara’s “death panel” facebook post, with out Joe’s outburst, “illegal” aliens (an assinine concept) would be getting free health care. (In addition to everything else)

Argh!

Who’s going to call them out about “not one dime added to the debt”, cutting Medicare (real cuts; not controlling growth), and all the other “barbara streisand”?

POLITICS: Obama’s turning point

Obama’s turning point
AntiWar.Com
by Philip Giraldi

*** begin quote ***

“If Obama gives McChrystal his soldiers he will be heading down the road to disaster. When reliably conservative columnist George Will calls for leaving Afghanistan , the writing is surely on the wall. Even Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Michael Mullen has conceded that the United States has effectively wasted more than seven years in Afghanistan and now has to start over, an assessment that is actually optimistic in that it presumes that there is a way to achieve success, whatever that means. Obama can read the tea leaves as well as anyone. Will he do an LBJ and, in the cowardly fashion of a politician placing party above country, support a war that he knows is lost or will he make the courageous and correct choice to speak candidly to the American people and admit that Afghanistan has been a failed US policy and that it is time to walk away? Or will he adopt a third way that is neither fish nor fowl, going with the status quo and supporting current troop levels and funding, even though he knows to do so is futile, in the hope that he will not be labeled as the president who ‘lost’ Afghanistan?” (09/10/09)

*** end quote ***

Well, as a little L libertarian, I think we should bring ALL the boys and girls home. NOW!

RANT: An open letter to Bill O’Reilly

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

OPEN EMAIL TO BILL O’REILLY

Bill:

Like your show, find it “challenging”.

My pithy comment for you is that “The government gets to tell its version of every story that may or may not be the truth. It appears to take decades for the whole truth to leak out from the edges.”

Did FDR know about Pearl Harbor? Historians have long debated whether President Roosevelt had advance knowledge of Japan’s December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor. Using documents pried loose through the Freedom of Information Act during 17 years of research, Stinnett provides overwhelming evidence that FDR and his top advisers knew that Japanese warships were heading toward Hawaii. The heart of his argument is even more inflammatory: Stinnett argues that FDR, who desired to sway public opinion in support of U.S. entry into WWII, instigated a policy intended to provoke a Japanese attack.

Kennedy assassination? As an amateur shooter, that shot, at a moving car with a junk rifle without practice from elevation and with swirling wind, is per se “unbelievable”. A killing zone ambush from the grassy knoll and one other position (i.e., the three shots of Zapruder audio) is much more plausible.

And on and on. Truth about Lincoln leaks out. Wilson campaigning on a Peace Platform. FDR follows Hoover’s plan. LBJ Gulf of Tonkin. The Federal Reserve creation at Jekyll Island.

And this on the WTC.

*** begin quote ***

Of course, the Israelis and our own government denied everything. Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Israeli government, scoffed: Israel, spying on the United States? Why, who ever heard of such a thing?! The US government, for its part, disdained all such reports as “an urban myth.” The Israel lobby moved quickly to make sure the Cameron reports were thrown down the Memory Hole, and Cameron was accused of – you guessed it! – “anti-Semitism,” on account of having spent time in the Middle East in his youth.

*** end quote ***

I’d just like you to be a little more skeptical of the “official story”. Admit that the powers that be, and their willing accomplices in the main stream media, want the sheeple kept in the dark, stupid with today’s gooferment union education, and paying for the privilege.

Yes, I’m a “birther”. I don’t know what to believe. For me what gives the story “legs” is Obama spending good money to keep everything hidden. That’s the smoke that sets off the detectors.

Unfortunately for what once was the Great Republic, we have smoke ‘n’ mirrors being used all over the place to our detriment.

As a tin foil hat kinda guy, it’s too bad we can’t treat all conspirators like Arthur Thistlewood. Maybe then we’d get the truth from the government.

Don’t be so trusting! To quote the fictional Doctor House, “They all lie.” And, I’m shocked — “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca — that you are more circumspect.

P.S., Instead of interviewing the beautiful people, how about giving a “conspiracy nut” two minutes on video to express their favorite conspiracy and then you can rip them to shreds. But, be careful, you might find an erie thread of truth in their statement. Then what will you do?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Robbing old people

State of Texas Forces Couple Into Nursing Home, Takes Over Their Finances
Radley Balko
September 11, 2009, 3:36pm

*** begin quote ***

The state refuses to give the Kidds an accounting of how it is spending their money, the reason apparently being that because they were deemed mentally deficient, they lack standing to even ask for financial records. The couple was given a court-appointed attorney (paid for from the Kidds’ savings), but he looks to have worked all of 10 hours on their case. According to neighbors, the state has since allowed the Kidds’ home deteriorate, and didn’t even bother to lock the doors after taking the couple into custody. The local Fox affiliate reported at the end of last month that state officials were also planning to sell the couple’s home at auction. Media coverage seems to have pressured a local judge to put off the sale, at least for now.

Everyone have their paperwork in order? It’s easy to rob old people.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Where are the “classical liberals” to protect us serfs?

Win one by being like the Gipper
Rosslyn Smith

*** begin quote ***

“Liberal” is still the worst and remains the only political description that is viewed more negatively than positively.

*** end quote ***

At one time, “liberal” was a good word.

In the days of the “king”, it was “liberal” to champion individual rights. “Conservatives” supported the King!

The little guys, the serfs, the near slaves, sought the protection of the Church.

The Dead Old White Guys were all liberals in opposition to the King.

Now days, it’s hard to see anyone looking out for us serfs.
