Any doubt that there is an agenda?

One of the main things the MMGW crowd claims is that they have science on their side. Of course we all know that is pure bullshit. Consensus science is not science. There is a lot of money involved and the socialists know nothing sells mass socialism as great as a super crisis. But it does not end there. As more and more people start questioning their claims, they have decided since the facts are not on their side they will just silence the voices of dissent. Case in point the hurricane institution in Fort Collins, Colorado and the case of William Gray:

By pioneering the science of seasonal hurricane forecasting and teaching 70 graduate students who now populate the National Hurricane Center and other research outposts, William Gray turned a city far from the stormy seas into a hurricane research mecca.

But now the institution in Fort Collins, Colo., where he has worked for nearly half a century, has told Gray it may end its support of his seasonal forecasting.

As he enters his 25th year of predicting hurricane season activity, Colorado State University officials say handling media inquiries related to Gray’s forecasting requires too much time and detracts from efforts to promote other professors’ work.

But Gray, a highly visible and sometimes acerbic skeptic of climate change, says that’s a “flimsy excuse” for the real motivation — a desire to push him aside because of his global warming criticism.

I have no doubt that Gray is right about their motivations. This is the SOP for these socialists. Of course they will all tell you that they are pure because they do not take money from a special interest when their entire movement is a special interest to begin with. You are only a “scientist” or in the know about science, forget the fact that you cann not produce facts to back any of the stupid MMGW claims you make unless you fabricate them or manipulate the data and make it junk, if you back their agenda. This is a cult and nothing else. A pox on humanity.

Blame Unfufu and her SUV?

It seems that man had a close brush with extinction some 70K years ago due to weather. For real. Of course at the time according to this article man’s population dropped to some 2000 people, so they must have been driving some major SUVs and burning fossil fuels non stop to create that global warming. We now have 6.6 billion people on the planet, and a bunch of assholes that want to drag us all back to a socialist stone age blame people for climate change. I wonder how mother Gaia made all these drastic weather changes before man and the SUV came along? Think the MSM nut jobs would pick this up and report that maybe they have been wrong about the whole MMGW crap? Not holding my breath.

Reality Check

The news that Brazil has found one of the world’s largest oil fields off their coast might just usher in some major geopolitical changes for the Americas. If these oil fields are as large as the Brazilians claim, and they can bring them up to speed by the 2020 date the article mentions, we will have zero need of oil from the Middle East anymore. And as the article mentioned that carries some major league consequences to our global strategy. Suddenly having a stable Middle East is of no consequence at all for the US. I guess the Euroweenies and the Chinese and Indians will still need oil from that part of the world, but that means they would now have to provide security for it’s flow. I am sure the Euroweenies would end up paralyzed and even more beholden to the nut jobs that would certainly rise up and take over in the vacuum of an American presence - the Euros have no way to provide even a fraction of the security the US is providing and will not do so even if they increase their military spending 10 fold because of their personal politics and the sheeple they now have that has forgotten the value of power projection - and they will pay for that. But does anyone doubt that China would not simply destroy Iran if they got in the way of their oil needs? Of course Iran might just go along with the Chinese and Indians and stick it to the Euros. In either case the Euros are the ones that will get hit hard by this. And any idiot claiming alternative fuels will come to the rescue will have to eat bitter words. This stuff is just pipe dreams.

Of course there is always the possiblity that now that Europe is threathened by this scenario that our left will realize a stable Middle East is important. After all, once we do not need their oil and have no national security interests in the ME, then wasting valuable US resources becomes quite OK with the moonbats. I would reman delighted to see those socialist house of cards in Europe collapse as soon as possible. I still think once they fail misserably people here will give up following in their doomed path. Of course the nut jobs that think oil will soon cease to be the major lubricator of the modern world are going to eat crow as this major oil find just makes it more likely that oil & the combustion engine remain the catalysts to progress for many decades to come. Especially when their MMGW hoax fals flat after the earth cools in the enxt decade. But keep living on fantasies you deranged moonbats. And it looks like the Brazilians with their new discovery will join Canada with the shale oil in getting very rich indeed.

This is why socialism sucks

Read this story dealing with tax payments and you will see what the inherent problems of socialism are.

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Tuesday is the deadline for filing federal income taxes. Half of American taxpayers will pay 97 percent of the individual income taxes the government will collect for 2008, according to IRS data. The other half will pay little or nothing, yet receive billions in benefits in the form of cash, subsidies, “free” services and other benefits, and loans. There are indeed “Two Americas,” but the two aren’t the rich and poor, but taxpayers and tax consumers. It’s going to get even tougher for the taxpayers in the near future, thanks to legislation being readied by Democrats who control Congress.

Let us face it. The democratic party relies on buying the vote of those 50% that pay nothing or very little with largesse at the expense of those that pay. And as the ratio of those that pay declines and that of those that have figured out how to game the system increase, there will be less money to go around and buy votes with. Of course the commiecrats will correct that by taking even more away from the payers as the article points out, driving more people into the hands of the government for their daily subsistence.

As someone that has people living in socialist Europe I have first hand knowledge of how well that has worked out for them and how bad things have gotten after juts a couple of decades of this crap. Italy had an election this past weekend that meant nothing. Mired in corrupt socialist government that stifles any kind of productivity or creativity, the country has become a parasite that sucks vast amounts of cash from other European nations but remains unable to correct the fact that their idiotic & corrupt anti-capitalist socialist policies have made the cost of living so high that general population that has become accustomed to government taking care of them indirectly or directly - way too many Italians work for the government doing nothing but shuffling paper - can make ends meet. The country is falling apart. And yet the politicians cling to their failed socialism hard because without that they would all be out of work.

In the Netherlands, because of the high value of the Euro and the protectionist policies of the EU vis a vis imports, people are now spending 4 if not 5 times the amount they did just a couple of years back for their weekly groceries. Everything is so expensive and government has been forced to cut back services so drastically while providing little or no tax relief that people are for the first time in 5 or 6 decades experiencing trouble getting food on the table. And it is getting worse, not better, because the efforts to move away from the failings of socialism are not being done effectively, and even worse, are often taken without returning the taxes that where being collected back to the people. So in the end the people are left with the same low after tax income and even bigger financial obligations to meet. A recipe for failure.

Many wonder how bad we are having it in America with our supposed economic slump (remember it is an election year and the MSM always feels the economy is bad as long as the guy in the WH has not got a (D) next to his name so the majority of the doom & gloom we are hearing is contrived if not outright false), but compared to how bad they have it over there we are still much better off. Well at least until after the election when the commiecrats want to take us down the same road to disaster that these socialist Europeans took not more than 2 decades ago and are now all forced to rethink or perish from.

But them’s the breaks during an election year when the left is out of power.

Only one of the many we get told about

This story is recieving minimal coverae, but it is recieving coverage, unlike the many other attempts by the fanatics that hate the modern world and those that will not bow down to the evil they worship. You will likely hear tons of idiots making excuses as to why these barbarians feel justified to commit these evil acts. Many of the excuses will be made by the very first people these barbarians would kill if they had buta chance: the idiots on the left. The many details of how they conspired to wanted to kill as many as possible to break the airline industry and to completely change modern transportation in the West, is frightning. This is about the most vile form of hatred and lack of respect for anyone that will not submit to their will. The idiots that tell us if we but left these people alone in their corner of the world things would be fine ignore the fact that these people are already amongst our mids. This is a war. I remain convinced that tens of thousands more have to die on our side before we wake up to that reality. A couple of hundred thousand all at once before the America hating libs will shut up and let the rest of us do what is needed. This problem will not go away. The MSM hucksters will down play it - they preffer stories that make the West, and especially the people that do want to fight this evil look bad and have no qualms manufacturing those stories - and give it short shrift. To them it is just another bump in the road. However there is no denying that it is getting uglier and uglier out there. The other side is at war with us. We are sleeping at the wheel.

Want to see some serious bullshit?

As usual another leftist bunch of twits, this time at The Times, have conducted a serious evaluation of 235 nations of the world and ranked them, and concluded that the US sucks. Don’t despair however! See, there is a serious and obvious bias to all these rankings by these leftist organizations, too often done on purpose or because of their collectivist bias that you usually won’t get pointed out along with the results of the ranking system being used. Like with the questions asked with any survey done, the value of the rankings are only as significant as the criteria used to do the ranking. And you can spot the bias if you get good at reading between the lines. But let me give you a quick hint what to look for:

A one-year investigation and analysis of 235 countries and dependent territories has put the UK joint seventh in the premier league of nations. The top ten comprise also the Vatican, Sweden, Luxembourg, Monaco, Gibraltar, San Marino, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands and the Irish Republic.

The US lies 22nd and Switzerland, normally associated with wealth and untouchable stability, is rated 17th, losing points in the assessment of its social achievements.

Ah, of course! Social achievements! Well La-De-Dah! So a bunch of collectivists that skew the rankings by looking at how “progressive” a nation is, have somehow ranked the US, and many others without those high collectivist practices, low huh? Like similar healthcare ranking systems that constantly put the US lower than many of these countries we know have horrible government run healthcare systems because it does not have “free healthcare” - read government run healthcare for all but paid for only by the productive - the real importance of these rankings is to prop up collectivism. The fact is simply that despite the many and horrible problems with government run healthcare in countries like Britain and Canada what these ranking system really measure is not effectiveness or quality, but idiotic crap like “social justice” or “availability”. They are severely skewed in favor of systems where progressive collectivist practices are the norm. Simply put, the ranking system favors collectivism, and really of more importance the image of “social justice” introduced because of this collectivism, than the actual results produced by that collectivism, or lack there of. Strip this collectivist crap from these rankings and you can bet your ass the US ranks in the top 5, if not first.

So what you have here is nothing but a severely biased, and frankly meaningless ranking of nations, unless you are a socialist with an anti-US/anti-capitalist/anti-war agenda. Of course these days that seems to be the predominant line of action and thought around the world. We might have defeated the USSR, but the evils of collectivism seem to have spread further than ever in today’s world. While part of me often wishes these idiots could get a first hand taste of the world they would inherit without the US, I remain smart enough to know that I would prefer to never have to live through that hellish world.

Elections & economics.

In these days leading to a national election with a decidedly biased MSM acting as a branch of the DNC, it is critical to understand the reality of our economic situation, especially since the usual class warfare leftists are lying about how bad things are, to be able to counter the bull. David Freddoso over at NRO has one heck of a good commentary piece dealing with this campaign of disinformation by the left which then links back to both an interesting discussion by one of my favorite economists Thomas Sowell as well as a Brad Schiller Wall Street Journal article destroying “ The Inequality Myth” thoroughly.

The main contention by the left is that the income share of the bottom 20 percent of households shrank from 4.1% in 1970 to 3.4% in 2006. But Freddoso points out that the 3.4 percent being bandied about applies to a pie three times as large as the pie of 1970. Adjust that for growth Freddoso points out that the average income of households in the bottom 20 percent has risen by 36% since 1970. Even a retard (most socialists tend to be a step lower that that however) can see that the poorest Americans are richer than they used to be, in addition to being among the richest poor people in the world. And there is another factor that is huge: the top 20 percent household bracket (64 million) contains nearly twice as many actual people as that bottom 20 percent bracket (39 million)! And keep in mind that today 27 percent of households are one-person households while in 1970 that number was just 17 percent. Does anyone want to contest the fact that one-person households are the most likely to be in the bottom quintile? What else? Freddoso points out that:

The bottom 20 percent includes millions of young people starting their first jobs, who will earn more as they grow older. It includes some retirees with assets but little income, and millions of new immigrants just stepping up to the bottom rung of the economic ladder. And yes, millions of chronically unemployed householders, too. But let’s take that bottom quintile for what it is and do a bit of amateur number crunching:

a)The 39 million people living in the bottom-earning household quintile (13 percent of Americans) made a total of $476 billion in 2006.

b) If they were their own nation — let’s call it Carteria (please, suspend your disbelief for a moment) — they would have had a per capita Gross National Income of $12,205 in 2006. (Their per capita GDP would be much higher, but also impossible to calculate with the numbers we’re given.)

c) According to my highly scientific survey of Wikipedia, that puts Carteria in a tie with Saudi Arabia for 41st place in per capita income. The average Carterian would be well ahead of the average Mexican and twice as well-off as the average Venezuelan or Russian.

That’s not great, but it’s not so bad considering that Carterians all come from the 23 million lowest-earning households in the United States.

Plain and simply put, the lowest 20%, is a bracket where a significant amount of the people really are not enduring much of any kind of hardship. But like with Healthcare where the number 43 million uninsured gets bandied about without ever pointing out what the breakdown of those 43 million is, this big number makes for better socialist propaganda. If however that 43 million is broken down thus making it obvious to the audience that the majority of people lumped in that group are there by choice - teenagers with parents that have insurance, young people that opt not to purchase insurance, and so on - or by shady accounting that includes illegal aliens (that vote for democrats) as uninsured people, then suddenly it loses its power. Just like that constant harping about the lowest 20% loses its power when you reveiw the above data. The fact is that democrats want to tax people into obedience and use government handouts to control society and perpetuate their power. They should not be allowed to lie about the economy to do so. The traditional MSM is not very likely to do the work and challenge their bull, so we need to do it ourselves. You can be certain that the economic improvements for anyone, and especially those in the bottom 20%, will never come from anything democrats do. Their MO usualy results in damaged economies and slowed or even worse false growth. Of course you would be damned to find anyone in the MSM that will not suddenly think the economy was just fine if the coccupant of the WH had a (D) next to his name like we had when Clinton was there.

Stupid idea!

Do you want to see a really dumb idea? Check out how the Intel guys think they will convince more people they are not the bad guys. Again with the “Hearts & Minds” thing? The problem with this approach is that the people that in general hold the opinion America is evil and its intelligence organizations are the spearhead responsible for that evil, are NOT going to change their opinions if they find out how the whole thing works. In fact, I guarantee that what will happen when they get the details will hurt our country more. These America haters will not suddenly soften their rabid hatred and opposition to anything pro-US once they realize how dangerous the world is and how idiotically PC the intelligence community has become. In fact, what they will do is sift over everything they get and only and specifically look for anything and everything they can use to do further damage to our ability to collect any kind of intelligence. Remember that we are talking about persuading the people that believe that the GWoT is a false and evil conspiracy to screw others and anything that helps America is a bad thing, that what the intelligence community does is good. That is the same as trying to convince the most radical PETA members that eating meat is OK. You can’t do that. And you can’t try to play nice with them because they will not.

Supporting the troops?

Looks like terrorists, or the usual terrorist supporting leftists that get angry when you point out they both lack patriotism and hate the very country that gives them the freedom to be idiots and are siding with the enemy have struck again. How are they going to spin this attack? We hate the war and support the troops by bombing recruiting stations? Could this be a ploy by the Berkeley city council to move focus from their fiasco with the Marines? Inquiring minds want to know!

Speech by the guy Obama wants to talk to..

Have a look at what that guy Obama says the US needs to be talking to has to say. Have no doubt that when he says “the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the powerful “ he means that Iran is busy pissing on the US. Yeah, he is busy trying to woo his base in Iran, but he means what he says. Come to think of it. Obama’s stance on foreign policy reminds me very much of the one the radical left used to have during the Cold War: they could not wait to engage the USSR in “talks” but despised anyone of the people they tended to look down upon that were our allies. I guess old habits die hard. Contrast that with what Obama wants to do with Musharaf, a reluctant ally in nuclear armed Pakistan, whom he wants to start a shooting war with. What do you think would happen in Iraq, and the ME in general, if Obama pulls our troops out of Iraq as he is promising? Think Ah-mad would hold back just cause Obama wants to talk? $350 a barrel oil, a shooting war, and probably eventually a nuclear one too, is almost a guarantee. Of course Obama told us if that happened he would send the troops back. I am sure the troops are all happy that after wasting 5 years plus of their sacrifices, cutting their budgets, and allowing the enemy to take the lead in the GWoT, they now get to go back with the threat of a nuclear attack against them on the line.

Economic slight of hand in an election year

I have been avoiding any commentary about the whole mortgage crisis thing because like billionaire investor Sam Zell I know this is nothing but the MSM doing propaganda for the left. This crap happens every damn election cycle. The MSM cronies of the DNC start complaining of a “bad economy”, “disaster & recession”, and the usual whine fest of how evil republicans are making us all poor. Of course if a democrat wins the election the financial/economic news the day after that is that all suddenly is turning for the better. Don’t take my word for it. Just look at the 1992 election cycle news for economic news. Remember the saying “It’s the economy stupid”? Well the fact was that the economy was doing quite well and bouncing back from a slight negative bump long before the election, but the MSM kept harping about how we were all doomed. That is they kept saying that the sky was falling until Bill Clinton won, and suddenly all was not just well, but awesome. These days the MSM is back to the same crap. Bad economic news for some inexplicable reason favors democrats. This is nothing but election year shenanigans by the DNC propaganda machine: the MSM.  Here are Sam Zell’s own words:

Speaking on “Squawk Box” this morning, Zell attributed much of the current economic troubles to fear-mongering and politicking by Democratic presidential contenders Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

“Obviously what we have going on is an attempt to create a self-fulfilling prophecy,” said Zell, chairman of Equity Investments Group and owner of the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and other companies. “We have two Democratic candidates who are vying with each other to describe the economic situation worse.

“The reality is that if you live on Wall Street and you’re in the credit markets the world couldn’t be worse. If you’re a farmer and you’re getting $25 for your wheat, you’re having a great time. If you’re a CEO and you’ve got a balance sheet that’s bullet-proof, you’re in a great position. This whole thing is way out of control, way out of hand.”

Zell said that although he doesn’t try to pick bottoms in markets he believes housing has hit its nadir and will turn around this spring as inventory clears out.

Now don’t get me wrong. The whole housing thing has pissed me off beyond belief. For one thing, the usual socialist scum in government are back at it trying to buy votes with the tax dollars paid by the productive. Does anyone else see how this government bail out of people that have made horrible choices, often on purpose and likely criminal, is rewarding bad behavior? If you lie about your income, buy a house that is far beyond your means, settle for a variable rate mortgage, and then end up screwed when fortune’s change, why should I help you keep your house? Sure there are some people that are real victims of the times, but the majority of the people with issues are directly responsible for being where they are. And instead of letting them pay for their bad choices and likely criminal activity, government wants to help them out with the money of those that did the right things. Scandalous!

And this trend is everywhere. Come to America illegally? Hey no problemo! We will give you a fast track to citizenship while those that do t he right thing languish in an INS hell for a decade. You are popping out babies as an unwed teenager and dropping out of school? Heck, we will pay you for that bad behavior! It’s about the poor child after all (and keeping that child poor and voting for democrats). You are a regular loser because of bad choices? Not to worry! Uncle Sam will give you a free lunch as long as you keep the right politicians in charge. You committed crimes? Even killed people? Do not worry! The legal & penal system will do all it can to help you stay around and do it again. The victim? Ah, screw them. Especially if they are dead anyway. And the list goes on. If you do something stupid or bad, government is there to bail you out. Do the right things and they line up to take away as much as they can for you. Of course, to help the others that have not been as “fortunate” as you. It seems that the more stupid and bad things you do, the bigger the handouts get.

And that’s why our economy is in bad shape. Well it really is not, but the DNC propaganda arm, the MSM, is going to keep harping on that until their guy wins the election. Hey, maybe that’s the “Change & Hope” Barak Hussein Obama is preaching about. I am sure Hillary would be saying the same, but she has been to busy trying to figure out how to go at Obama without violating the PC identity politics the left prides itself on so much. May this crap drag out until far after both the Democratic convention and this year’s election. Oh yeah. If you have cash buy stocks. This is the time to do so.

Libtard learns the wrong lesson

I found it really ironic that Neil Young realized that it is stupid to believe that music can change the world, but could not carry that further and see that the only thing that matters - not words, not thoughts, not feelings, not good intentions, not legal mumbo jumbo, and certainly not music - is the ability to use force to deal with evil. Of course, since he like the bulk of the libtards is stupid enough to think that the evil comes from America or Bush, even if he could carry it further he would likely be on the wrong side. The hippie culture is one of the most dangerous things ever to have happened because it inculcated the idiots that succumbed to it with the horribly stupid belief that force was never an option and thus inherently evil itself. These idiots will never see the light until they are the ones suffering personally and are left with only force to defend themselves. Of course just understanding that the use of force is sometimes the only way to stop evil is not enough. You have to have the capacity of distinguishing between real evil and politically motivated white guilt: the bane of the libtard.

Things that make you go hmmmm..

The article dealing with another deranged person with a gun killing people he disagreed with caught my eye, but left me wondering what we really where not being told. The article seemed to leave out a lot of pertinent information such as motive - yeah it says the perp had beef with these council members but that is so vague as to be anything from a disagreement over local policies to something personal - and the usual drivel about how another senseless gun crime was committed, likely with a registered gun too, and for alll hand guns to be confiscated. And that really then piqued my interest, so I went looking some more, and found what I think is the reason for this. The gun man was not your usual privilidged white kid, and he was pissed that “The Man” was was sticking it to him with those parking tickets. So the likely political bias, skin color, and the negative publicity to the normal liberal agenda that this information might result in, is what drove what we were told to begin with. How sad.

MSM bias shows again…

I saw this article dealing with Prince Andrew’s comments about Iraq yesterday and at first glance was simply going to dismiss it as more of the same & usual media bias that focuses on the minutia that advances their political agenda while ignoring the real message, but I continued to think about it and suddenly was hit by something that i figured should have been real obvious. Anyway, if you missed the stuff that had all these collectivists that pretend to be journalist sporting a boner, it was Prince Andrew’s comments how the WH - and the media immediately inferred that he then meant that idiot BushChimpyMcHitler - had ignored their advice on how to deal with Iraq, and for that matter the GWoT.

Now this brings up one giant can of works and begs for a ton of clarification. First off, what was the advice? If what the British suggested was to impose martial law on Iraq, to keep order while the allied forces build up a new Iraqi police force, military, and government based on democracy - like we did to Germany & Japan after WWII - then Prince Andrew is dead on. The fact is that WH made a huge mistake in trying to play to the idiots that opposed US action that we meant to do well and where not there to steal the oil. Basically it was a play designed to soften their opposition, and even woo them to see what we were doing as a good thing. But it was destined to fail because the ideologues it was attempting to convince we meant well would never, ever do change their minds. To these idiots the US is at best unable to do anything but evil, even when trying to do good, and at worse an evil entity responsible for all man’s ills. It is a waste of time to even try and cater to this kind of idiotic belief. So instead of using might to establish order and then democracy, we tried to create democracy in chaos, and ended up with 4 wasted years. Had we aggressively pursued and killed any & all opposition, established order & the rule of law, and then gone about fixing the infrastructure needed to create a democracy, we would have avoided a lot of crap. Of course not the crap from those that have a vested interest in seeing us fail, but then again we should never let these losers dictate what we do.  Anyway, had the British recommended this, then we have to agree we bungled that, and did so badly. But the problems we created by not doing this are no excuse to fail and lose like the morons that are pushing this as news actually want.

But if what Prince Andrew says they proposed was to install another dictator, like they did in the past, then he is off his rockers. The very reason the ME is screwed up today is that we kept strong men that sided with us in power. Now, do not get me wrong. At the time the Cold War was raging and this was a necessity because the alternative would have meant the spread of the evils of collectivism and the enslavement of mankind to one of the vilest forms of oppression - of course sold as an Utopian solution to all man’s ills - ever to visit itself upon mankind. We needed to keep these places from going red, and that was the best and simplest way to deal with that menace. But after the fall of the USSR and the changes that created to the world, especially the rise of radical Islam, this simply was not a working solution. The biggest problem in these ME nations is the fact that these people, deprived of any real freedom & prosperity (and that despite all their oil wealth), have become the vessels for some of the most illogical, dangerous, and deadly ideas & ideologies to ever plague the planet.

In a past where their reach was limited this was not an issue we needed to worry about. But in today’s modern world, these things can not be left unaddressed if we in the West, once the leading and prominent majority of the world’s population but now dwindleling and declining, wish to keep our values. The enemy has made it clear to us. They acknowledge & accept that their societies have failed to make the same advances we have. But they do not attribute that to their own failings. Instead many blame us for holding them down, or too often - based on the old Soviet imperialistic propaganda that told them the West became rich and prosperous by stealing from them - for stealing their wealth & futures. But the worst lies are the ones that told these people that the West had made a deal with the devil to get where it was. Suddenly there was no reason to aspire to make the same advances the West had. In fact it allowed the hate mongers to then advance the agenda that the right thing to do was to destroy the decadent West and recreate the world in their image. More of the same old that we relied on back during the Cold War, and in fact even before that, was not in any way going to solve our problems.

We have to change the way things work in the ME. We have to change the fact that so many envy us - and no you collectivist twits that will not be done by a redistribution of wealth scheme or by the modern West rolling back its advances or the things that made it prosperous but by making these people accept those things that helped us build our wealth and prosperity - and their delusional attitude that since they could not do what we did they should destroy what we have to level the field. That’s what the GWoT is really about: kill the ones we can not change, change the ones we can. And if we fail we can kiss the way of life we have now goodbye.

But of course, we should never expect the collectivists in the MSM to address any of these things. They do not even want to acknowledge that we are living in a time where we are experiencing a clash of civilizations. They are still pissed that the wrong side won the Cold War and that one of their guys is not in the WH, and they will be damned and see us all burn before they do anything that helps us defeat the people seeking to drag us all to the 7th century. I guess the axiom “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies in spades here.
