Have fun, and don’t forget to storm the Castle!
The wolf cretinous coydogs will come to the door.
Be safe and enjoy!
God bless ,Bob and take your pepper-spray along in case the “occupiers” start pushing little old ladies down stairs.
If you happen across Ann Coulter, ask her how she lost her mind…
Ditto.
I would like to share an amusing insight that crossed my mind. Has anyone ever considered the principal characteristic that distinguishes between American conservatives and liberals/progressives, between people of faith and the occult? The former defer to a divine God, but live their lives according to evolutionary principles (i.e. distributed intelligence). The latter defer to their primitive instincts, but live their lives according to the whims of mortal gods (i.e. centrally managed). This is, presumably, the cause of the great schism in the human population. It establishes that while conservatives place their post-mortem fate in divine hands, their perception of reality follows the natural (or God’s) and enlightened (i.e. conscious) orders. It would suggest that the premise for left-wing ideology is a progressive distrust of their fellow human beings, which was confirmed recently by wealthy left-wing ideologues inability to make a unilateral gesture of good faith.
Anyway, I thought the paradoxical dichotomy which exists in word and action between these two factions of humanity to be quite hilarious.
It’s that the Conservative accepts God’s or Nature’s plan to allow multiple pathsto be explored by man to the future. Whereas, the left want to predict the future and wants planning for their prediction by their master planners. Read Hayek “Road to Serfdom,” which I read more than 50 years ago, to see the fallacy of central planning vs individual acts. Enjoy the illustrated version, but read the whole book.
Which government planner predicted the Tsunami, or the explosion at Mt. St. Helens, or the I-pad, or the personal computer, or even the airplane which was pronounced impossible by the meeting of scientists just before the Wright brothers flew? What is the limiting factor on human achievement? Central Planning.
It’s paradoxical, isn’t it? Their philosophy in progressive measure rejects evolutionary principles. It is not incidental that they resort to emotional appeals — a primitive subset of human nature — in order to extort compliance.
They presume themselves to be gods… mortal gods, to their displeasure.
They fear life. They fear death. They run amuck.
Their submissive followers are similarly characterized, but without the virtue which mortal divinity endows.
Conservatives accept the challenge that their existence is premised on judgment of individual conscience.
You know, Tallyman, I really do not enjoy politics. I am, however, an ardent student of philosophy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the hot links guys. How did we get from Bob at CPAC to this? Oh well, I guess i can share a link too. http://www.lewrockwell.com/epstein/epstein15.html
That would be due to my thoughts gone astray by association.
It’s actually a poorly recognized syndrome: associative thought disorder (ATD). It manifests itself most prominently in political and philosophical contexts. I blame CPAC for the stimulation and a dearth of information for its propagation.

Her position is not so different from some (or many?) white “racists”. While slavery needed to be rejected and broken, the segregation which followed would have been best resolved through voluntary association. People do not like to be coerced, and that action tends to breed resentment and suspicion. However, her opinion would likely be the minority view, and with good reason. This was not simply a matter of assimilation, but assimilation of a co-residing native population.
Negro schools in the sate are in very good shape and on the improve.
Somewhere, the plan went awry. The outcome may have been due to short-term conflict, but the effects have been long-term.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, a negative outcome has not been restricted to the Black population.
Ah, I nearly missed it.
Govt by fiat can replace the constitution.
We are the benefactors of the unforeseen consequences of good intentions following “original sin” and its resolution through “social justice”. Resolving selective sin through the commission of universal sin.
America provided a piecemeal example for places like South Africa where the resolution of institutional discrimination is institutional discrimination codified in their Constitution. What a mess. The cycle of nonsense is progressive.
Politics is an application and a testing ground for a philosophy. Is a philosophy validated only in the mind or need it be subject to scientific validation by application? Koala here presents a philosophy that was neither tested nor validated. I offered a tenant of my philosophy that Central Planning limits human achievement. n.n., you’re not alone: the.words of Mencken, “Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.”
Some excellent insight into the human condition and our present crisis.
The Real Trouble With the Birth-Control Mandate
(via market-ticker.org)
Denninger is an excellent analyst, and, incidentally, a disgruntled Roman Catholic, but it would appear with good cause. However, the insight he offers is not principally about the Church, but about the progressive moral decay which threatens the preservation of individual dignity and civilized society.
Insurance is a negative-sum game
…
it is not insurance when you are buying “insurance” on something that everyone, or close to everyone, will actually use
…
You thus voluntarily buy the insurance to protect against the risk
…
Routine medical care … Likewise with birth control … is an utterly predictable expense
…
As for those who say that this sort of thing is “expensive”, no it’s not. Not any more than your iPhone is. If you can afford the cellphone you can afford the birth control. Is sex more important to you than your toy piece of technology?
…
Americans prefer this because they do not have to bear the cost of this decision
…
The Federal Government is creating the illusion of economic demand that does not exist and has been for more than a decade.
And his conclusion:
The difference between******and sex is consent.
Ah, yes. The civil and human rights movement revisited.
THE VOTE PUMP
We were both wrong (i.e. left, right, and independent). Whittle has an uncanny ability to present reality with extraordinary realism.
Brer Thaddeus should thank whatever it is that he worships that The Machine was not present that day.
This potty mouth is in dire need of a man to properly explain to him why one does not talk that way to a LADY.
Thaddeus appears too sleazy to, even with affirmative action, become a lawyer. He is following that Rule in Law that “When the law is on your side, argue the law. When the facts are on your side, argue the facts. When neither the facts nor the law are on your side, make an ad hominem attack.” Will his White Democrat Overlords reward him a chicken bone left over from their Colonel ‘s bucket?
